Semester 1 Final Review

Front

What is a key difference between Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cells?

Back

Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, while Prokaryotic cells do not.

Front

What part of the plant absorbs water and nutrients from the soil?

Back

Roots are responsible for absorbing water and nutrients from the soil.

Front

What happens to an animal cell in pure water due to osmosis?

Back

Water enters the cell, causing it to potentially burst.

Front

What are the reactants of cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen and glucose are the reactants of cellular respiration.

Front

Which structure controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell?

Back

The cell membrane controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell.

Front

Define Eukaryotic cells.

Back

Eukaryotic cells are complex cells that contain a nucleus and organelles, and are found in organisms such as plants, animals, and fungi.

Front

Define Prokaryotic cells.

Back

Prokaryotic cells are simple, unicellular organisms that lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, such as bacteria.

Front

What is osmosis?

Back

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.

Front

What is the function of the cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane protects the cell and regulates what enters and exits the cell.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.
