Front

What is the correct equation for PHOTOSYNTHESIS?

Back

CO₂ + light + H₂O → O₂ + Sugar

Front

What type of cell division results in two identical cells?

Back

Mitosis

Front

What is the only characteristic shared by living cells and viruses?

Back

The presence of nucleic acid

Front

What is the process of moving from areas of LOW concentration to areas of HIGH concentration called?

Back

Active Transport

Front

Which types of cells contain nucleic acid?

Back

Both Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cells

Front

What is the primary function of photosynthesis?

Back

To convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

Front

What is the difference between Mitosis and Meiosis?

Back

Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, while Meiosis results in four genetically diverse gametes.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, to drive the photosynthesis process.

Front

Define Active Transport in cellular processes.

Back

Active Transport is the movement of molecules across a cell membrane from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration, requiring energy.

Front

What are the two main types of nucleic acids?

Back

DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) and RNA (Ribonucleic Acid).
