Cell Processes Review

Front

What is respiration in cells?

Back

Respiration is the process by which cells release energy from glucose and produce carbon dioxide as a byproduct.

Front

What are the reactants of cellular respiration?

Back

The reactants of cellular respiration are oxygen and glucose.

Front

What is the process of photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is equilibrium in the context of cells?

Back

Equilibrium is the state when the concentration of water inside and outside the cell is equal.

Front

What does selectively permeable mean in relation to cell membranes?

Back

Selectively permeable means that the cell membrane regulates which substances can enter and exit the cell.

Front

What is the role of oxygen in cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen is essential for cellular respiration as it helps to break down glucose to release energy.

Front

What is the byproduct of cellular respiration?

Back

The byproduct of cellular respiration is carbon dioxide.

Front

What is diffusion?

Back

Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

Front

What is osmosis?

Back

Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane.

Front

What is the function of the cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane protects the cell and controls the movement of substances in and out.
