What is active transport?

Back

Active transport is the process of moving molecules across a cell membrane from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration, requiring energy in the form of ATP.

Front

What energy molecule is required for active transport?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the energy molecule required for active transport.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2) into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide (CO2), and water (H2O).

Front

What is the primary energy molecule produced in cellular respiration?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the primary energy molecule produced during cellular respiration.

Front

What does the Germ Theory state?

Back

The Germ Theory states that many diseases are caused by microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

Front

What is endocytosis?

Back

Endocytosis is the process by which a cell takes in particles by engulfing them in a vesicle.

Front

What is exocytosis?

Back

Exocytosis is the process by which a cell expels substances from a vesicle to the outside of the cell.

Front

What acronym helps remember the stages of mitosis?

Back

I-PMAT, which stands for Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase.

Front

What is passive transport?

Back

Passive transport is the movement of molecules across a cell membrane without the use of energy, typically from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

Front

What is the difference between active transport and passive transport?

Back

Active transport requires energy (ATP) to move molecules against their concentration gradient, while passive transport does not require energy and moves molecules along their concentration gradient.
