Cell Processes Review

Front

What are the two main types of cell transport?

Back

Active transport and passive transport; active transport requires energy while passive transport does not.

Front

What happens to the contents of tube A when the lights are turned off?

Back

Nothing would happen to the contents of tube A.

Front

What is the correct equation for Photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy -> C6H12O6 + 6O2

Front

What type of cellular transport is represented by exocytosis?

Back

Exocytosis is the process where substances are expelled from the cell.

Front

Why is the cell membrane crucial for cell transport?

Back

It regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell.

Front

What is passive transport?

Back

Passive transport is the movement of substances across a cell membrane without the use of energy.

Front

What is active transport?

Back

Active transport is the movement of substances against their concentration gradient, requiring energy.

Front

Define osmosis.

Back

Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane.

Front

What is diffusion?

Back

Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

Front

What is endocytosis?

Back

Endocytosis is the process by which cells take in substances by engulfing them.
