What causes a red blood cell to burst in fresh water?

Back

Osmotic pressure causes water to move into the cell.

Front

What are the reactants in photosynthesis?

Back

H₂O and CO₂.

Front

Front

What is the role of chloroplasts in plants?

Back

Convert light energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis.

Front

Define 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 the significance of the cell membrane?

Back

It regulates what enters and leaves the cell.
