Front

What is Active Transport?

Back

Movement of particles from low to high concentration using energy.

Front

Why do large cells have greater demands for DNA?

Back

Large cells require more DNA to manage the increased volume and metabolic activities.

Front

What is the role of the spindle during mitosis?

Back

The spindle separates the chromatids during mitosis.

Front

What happens to an animal cell in a hypertonic solution?

Back

The cell would shrivel due to loss of water.

Front

What occurs during Metaphase in cell division?

Back

Chromosomes line up at the equator of the cell and spindle fibers attach to them.

Front

Define Mitosis.

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells.

Front

What is the difference between hypotonic and hypertonic solutions?

Back

Hypotonic solutions have a lower concentration of solutes compared to the cell, causing it to swell; hypertonic solutions have a higher concentration, causing it to shrivel.

Front

What is the function of the cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane regulates what enters and exits the cell, maintaining homeostasis.

Front

What is chromatin?

Back

Chromatin is the material that makes up chromosomes, consisting of DNA and proteins.
