Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

Glycolysis is an anaerobic process that breaks down glucose into pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP.

Front

What is a heterotroph?

Back

A heterotroph is an organism that cannot produce its own food and instead obtains nutrients by consuming other organisms.

Front

What are aster fibers?

Back

Aster fibers are part of the spindle apparatus that help in the separation of chromosomes during cell division.

Front

What is the function of the vacuole in plant cells?

Back

The vacuole is a large organelle in plant cells that stores nutrients, waste products, and helps maintain turgor pressure.

Front

What is recycled through the Krebs cycle?

Back

Citric acid is recycled through the Krebs cycle, which is a key part of cellular respiration.

Front

What is the role of the centromere?

Back

The centromere is the region of a chromosome where the two sister chromatids are joined and where spindle fibers attach during cell division.

Front

What is the function of chloroplasts?

Back

Chloroplasts are organelles in plant cells that conduct photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the primary energy carrier in cells, providing energy for various cellular processes.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic processes?

Back

Aerobic processes require oxygen, while anaerobic processes do not.
