Back

Facilitated Diffusion

Front

What process occurs in yeast cells when oxygen is not present?

Back

Anaerobic Respiration

Front

What is the correct equation for cellular respiration?

Front

What term describes the movement of substances against the concentration gradient using ATP?

Back

Active Transport

Front

Define facilitated diffusion.

Back

A process of passive transport where molecules move across a membrane via protein channels without energy.

Front

What is the main difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration does not.

Front

What is the role of ATP in active transport?

Back

ATP provides the energy required to move substances against their concentration gradient.

Front

What is the byproduct of anaerobic respiration in yeast?

Back

Ethanol and carbon dioxide.

Front

What is the primary function of glucagon?

Back

To raise blood glucose levels by promoting the conversion of glycogen to glucose.
