8.1-Cell Unit Review 24-25

Front

What is the function of a vacuole in plant and animal cells?

Back

The vacuole stores water, nutrients, and waste products in both plant and animal cells.

Front

What is osmosis?

Back

Osmosis is the movement of water from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane.

Front

Where does photosynthesis occur in plant cells?

Back

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells.

Front

What substances are represented by the arrows in the movement of ATP and carbon dioxide?

Back

The arrows represent the movement of ATP and carbon dioxide during cellular respiration.

Front

What is the primary function of mitochondria?

Back

The mitochondria are responsible for cellular respiration, converting glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP).

Front

Define diffusion.

Back

Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in a cell?

Back

Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis in the cell.

Front

What is active transport?

Back

Active transport is the movement of substances across a cell membrane against their concentration gradient, requiring energy.

Front

What is the difference between osmosis and diffusion?

Back

Osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water, while diffusion refers to the movement of any type of particles.

Front

What is the function of chloroplasts?

Back

Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, converting sunlight into chemical energy.
