Front

What is a major difference between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells?

Back

Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus.

Front

What type of solution are cells in when the concentration of solutes is higher outside the cell than inside?

Back

Hypertonic solution.

Front

Where in the chloroplast is chlorophyll found?

Back

In the thylakoid membrane.

Front

What is the movement of molecules across a membrane with the concentration gradient that does not use energy called?

Back

Passive transport.

Front

What type of solution has a higher concentration of water molecules and a lower concentration of solutes outside the cell?

Back

Hypotonic solution.

Front

Define prokaryotic cells.

Back

Cells that do not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles.

Front

Define eukaryotic cells.

Back

Cells that have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.

Front

What is osmosis?

Back

The movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration.

Front

What is the function of the thylakoid membrane in chloroplasts?

Back

It is the site of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.

Front

What is the difference between active transport and passive transport?

Back

Active transport requires energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient, while passive transport does not.
