Front

What biomolecule is primarily involved in storing genetic information?

Back

Nucleic Acid

Front

What is the function of mitochondria in a cell?

Back

To produce energy through cellular respiration.

Front

What is the difference between active transport and passive transport?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of chloroplasts in plant cells?

Back

To conduct photosynthesis and convert sunlight into chemical energy.

Front

What is osmosis?

Back

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