Flashcards
Mitochondria function
Mitochondria function
The mitochondria are responsible for generating energy in the form of ATP, which is the primary energy currency of cells.
Distinguishing feature of plant cells
Distinguishing feature of plant cells
Plant cells have a rigid cell wall that provides structural support and protection. They also contain chloroplasts, which are responsible for photosynthesis.
Skeletal system function
Skeletal system function
The skeletal system serves as the body's framework, providing structure, support, and protection for vital organs. It also enables movement through the interaction of bones and muscles.

Study Notes
Cell Structure and Function
- Plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts, which distinguish them from animal cells.
- The mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell and produce energy in the form of ATP.
Cellular Transport
- Diffusion is the movement of a substance from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
Skeletal System
- The skeletal system provides protection, facilitates movement, and produces blood cells.
Scientific Instruments
- A force meter is used to measure the amount of force exerted by muscles.
Nutrition
- A healthy diet consists of calcium, lipids, carbohydrates, and protein.
Respiration
- The main gas exchanged in the alveoli during respiration is oxygen.
Cell Components
- The nucleus is the control center of the cell, often referred to as the "brain of the cell".
Cellular Transport Mechanisms
- Diffusion is the movement of a substance from high to low concentration.
- Osmosis, endocytosis, and active transport are distinct cellular transport mechanisms.
