What is Cell Respiration?

Back

Cell Respiration is a metabolic process that converts glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water. It occurs in both plants and animals.

Front

True or False: Cell Respiration only happens in animals.

Back

False. Cell Respiration occurs in both plants and animals.

Front

What happens to a cell in a Hypertonic Solution?

Back

In a Hypertonic Solution, water leaves the cell, causing it to shrink.

Front

What is the role of Channel Proteins in a cell?

Back

Channel Proteins facilitate the movement of molecules across the cell membrane, allowing substances to enter and leave the cell.

Front

Which organelle is primarily responsible for Cellular Respiration?

Back

The Mitochondria are primarily responsible for Cellular Respiration.

Front

True or False: Photosynthesis occurs in both animals and plants.

Back

False. Photosynthesis occurs only in plants.

Front

What is the main product of Cellular Respiration?

Back

The main product of Cellular Respiration is ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is used as energy by the cell.

Front

Define Photosynthesis.

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose, using carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is a Phospholipid?

Back

A Phospholipid is a type of lipid molecule that forms the cell membrane, consisting of a hydrophilic (water-attracting) 'head' and two hydrophobic (water-repelling) 'tails'.

Front

What is the difference between Endocytosis and Exocytosis?

Back

Endocytosis is the process of taking substances into the cell, while Exocytosis is the process of expelling substances from the cell.
