Where does transcription take place?

Back

Transcription takes place in the nucleus.

Front

What type of transport is illustrated by molecules moving across a membrane with the help of a protein, but without using energy?

Back

Facilitated diffusion is the type of transport illustrated.

Front

How do enzymes affect activation energy in chemical reactions?

Back

Enzymes catalyze reactions by decreasing activation energy.

Front

What is the term for all of the living and nonliving things in an area that interact with each other?

Back

This is called an ecosystem.

Which RNA bases pair with TACGAA during transcription?

Back

The RNA bases that pair with TACGAA are AUGCUU.

Front

What is the primary function of ribosomes in a cell?

Back

Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis.

Front

Define osmosis in biological terms.

Back

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.

Front

What is the role of DNA in cells?

Back

DNA stores genetic information and provides instructions for the development and functioning of living organisms.

Front

What is the difference between a habitat and an ecosystem?

Back

A habitat is the specific environment where an organism lives, while an ecosystem includes all living and nonliving things in a particular area and their interactions.

Front

What is the function of chloroplasts in plant cells?

Back
