15 Questions
Which organelle is responsible for producing energy in the cell through the process of respiration?
Mitochondria
What is the primary function of the cell membrane?
To control the movement of substances in and out of the cell
What is the difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells in terms of their cellular organization?
Eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles, while prokaryotic cells do not.
How does glucose move across the cell membrane?
Glucose requires a specific transporter protein to facilitate its movement across the cell membrane.
What is the primary function of the nucleus in a cell?
To control what happens in the cell and house the genetic information needed for growth and reproduction
Which process involves bringing material from outside the cell inside by creating membrane-bound vesicles from the plasma membrane?
Endocytosis
What is a characteristic of Passive Transport?
Doesn't require cellular energy
Which substances are transported by Active Transport?
Glucose, amino acids, and inorganic ions
What happens in Facilitated Diffusion?
Specific transporter proteins are involved
In which solution type does water move equally in and out of the cell?
Isotonic solution
What determines the rate of diffusion?
Permeability of cytoplasmic membrane
Which transport mechanism works from higher concentration to lower concentrations until equilibrium is reached?
Simple Diffusion
What is the main difference between Endocytosis and Exocytosis?
One involves bringing materials into the cell while the other expels materials out of the cell.
What type of solution leads to cell shrinkage due to water moving out of the cell?
Hypertonic solution
What are some substances transported by Active Transport?
Amino acids and ions
