Cell Structure / Cellular Transport

Front

What organelle breaks down glucose to produce energy (ATP) during cellular respiration?

Back

Mitochondria

Front

What is the process called that moves substances against the concentration gradient, from low to high concentration, using energy?

Back

Active Transport

Front

What type of transport allows solutes to move with the concentration gradient without using energy?

Back

Passive Transport

Front

What is the main difference between active transport and passive transport?

Back

Active transport uses ATP (energy) while passive transport does not.

Front

What are the two main types of cells?

Back

Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes.

Front

Which type of cell has a nucleus?

Back

Eukaryotes.

Front

What is the function of the cell membrane?

Back

To protect the cell and control what enters and exits.

Front

What is osmosis?

Back

The movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.

Front

What is facilitated diffusion?

Back

The process of passive transport of molecules across a cell membrane via specific transmembrane integral proteins.

Front

What is the role of chloroplasts in plant cells?

Back

To conduct photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy.
