What is the function of ATP in the cell?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) provides energy for cellular processes by breaking the bond between the second and third phosphate groups.

Front

How does the cell membrane function as a barrier?

Back

The cell membrane is permeable but selective, allowing certain substances to pass while blocking others, similar to a wall with gates.

Front

What is a common activity that occurs in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Back

Proteins are assembled on ribosomes in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

Front

What occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle?

Back

DNA replication takes place during the S phase.

Front

What structure is found in all cell types?

Back

A cell membrane made of a lipid bilayer is present in all cell types.

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in the cell?

Back

Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the primary function of mitochondria?

Back

Mitochondria provide energy for cell processes through cellular respiration.

Front

What is the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Back

Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have both.

Front

What is the structure of the cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane is composed of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins.

Front

What is the function of chloroplasts?

Back

Chloroplasts capture and transform the energy of sunlight into chemical energy through photosynthesis.
