Biology EOC Review Set 10

Front

What is active transport?

Back

Active transport is the process by which cells move materials from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration, using energy (ATP).

Front

List the stages of mitosis in order.

Back

The stages of mitosis in order are: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase.

Front

What role do carrier proteins play in active transport?

Back

Carrier proteins move substances from a low concentration to high concentration through the use of energy.

Front

What is the difference between osmosis and active transport?

Back

Osmosis is the passive movement of water across a membrane, while active transport requires energy to move substances against their concentration gradient.

Front

What is a cell plate and when does it form?

Back

A cell plate forms during cytokinesis in plant cells, serving as a precursor to the new cell wall.

Front

What is a cleavage furrow?

Back

A cleavage furrow is an indentation that forms in the cell membrane during cytokinesis in animal cells, leading to cell division.

Front

What is the significance of the cell cycle?

Back

The cell cycle is crucial for growth, development, and repair in organisms, ensuring proper cell division and function.

Front

Define mitosis.

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells from a single parent cell.

Front

What happens during prophase?

Back

During prophase, chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and spindle fibers begin to form.

Front

What occurs during metaphase?

Back

During metaphase, chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane, and spindle fibers attach to the centromeres.
