Front

What is homeostasis?

Back

Homeostasis is the process by which living organisms maintain a stable internal environment despite changes in external conditions.

Front

What is the primary function of the cell membrane?

Back

To control the movement of substances in and out of the cell.

Front

What type of respiration produces the most ATP?

Back

Aerobic respiration produces the most ATP.

Front

What is ATP and its role in cells?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular processes.

Front

What happens to ATP when it is used?

Back

When ATP is used, it is converted to ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and a free phosphate ion.

Front

Which organelle is known as the 'powerhouse of the cell'?

Back

Mitochondria are known as the 'powerhouse of the cell' because they produce ATP through cellular respiration.

Front

In which part of the plant does photosynthesis primarily occur?

Back

Photosynthesis primarily occurs in the leaves of the plant.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen and produces more ATP, while anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen and produces less ATP.

Front

What is feedback inhibition in homeostasis?

Back

Feedback inhibition is a regulatory mechanism in which the output of a process inhibits its own production, helping to maintain homeostasis.
