What is Interphase in the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle where the cell prepares for division. It includes G1, S, and G2 phases, during which the cell grows, duplicates its DNA, and prepares for mitosis.

Front

What is the function of the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER)?

Back

The Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER) is responsible for the synthesis of lipids (fats) and detoxification of certain chemicals.

Front

How does carbon dioxide level affect photosynthesis?

Back

When carbon dioxide levels are lower, the rate of photosynthesis decreases because carbon dioxide is a key reactant in the photosynthesis process.

Front

What are constants in an experiment?

Back

Constants are the variables in an experiment that remain unchanged throughout the experiment to ensure that the results are valid.

Front

What is the role of Ribosomes in a cell?

Back

Ribosomes are the organelles that synthesize proteins by translating messenger RNA (mRNA) into polypeptide chains.

Front

What is Mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells, essential for growth and repair.

Front

What is the function of the Golgi apparatus?

Back

The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.

Front

What is the difference between independent and dependent variables?

Back

The independent variable is the one that is changed or controlled in an experiment, while the dependent variable is the one that is measured or affected.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, to drive the process of photosynthesis.

Front

What is Cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the final stage of cell division where the cytoplasm divides, resulting in two separate daughter cells.
