MDMS_SS1: Cell Processes

Front

What is Cellular Respiration?

Back

A process that makes ATP (Energy) from glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is Diffusion?

Back

The movement of small particles such as oxygen and carbon dioxide across the cell membrane from areas of high concentration to low concentration.

Front

Which organelle is responsible for converting oxygen and glucose into chemical energy?

Back

Mitochondria.

Front

What is Osmosis?

Back

The movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.

Front

What organisms perform photosynthesis?

Back

Only Autotrophs.

Front

What is the role of Chloroplasts?

Back

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

Front

What is Active Transport?

Back

The movement of molecules across a cell membrane from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration, requiring energy.

Front

What is the difference between Autotrophs and Heterotrophs?

Back

Autotrophs produce their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, while Heterotrophs consume other organisms for energy.

Front

What is the function of the cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the energy currency of the cell, used to power various cellular processes.
