What is mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Front

What is meiosis?

Back

Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in four genetically diverse haploid cells, which are gametes.

Front

What is the role of ATP in cellular respiration?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, produced during cellular respiration to provide energy for various cellular processes.

Front

What is the difference between haploid and diploid cells?

Back

Haploid cells contain one set of chromosomes (n), while diploid cells contain two sets of chromosomes (2n).

Front

What is the significance of water's high specific heat?

Back

Water's high specific heat allows it to moderate temperature changes, helping to maintain stable environments for living organisms.

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 function of chromosomes?

Back

Chromosomes carry genetic information in the form of genes, which determine the traits of an organism.

Front

What is the importance of temperature moderation in living organisms?

Back

Temperature moderation helps maintain homeostasis, allowing organisms to function optimally despite external temperature changes.

Front

What are gametes?

Back

Gametes are haploid reproductive cells (sperm and eggs) that fuse during fertilization to form a diploid zygote.

Front

What is the role of the liver in energy metabolism?

Back

The liver plays a crucial role in energy metabolism by processing nutrients, detoxifying substances, and producing energy-storing molecules.
