Georgia Milestone Biology Review

Front

What is the role of enzymes in metabolic reactions?

Back

Enzymes speed up metabolic reactions, allowing organisms to obtain energy quickly.

Front

What happens to water in a solution with different sucrose concentrations separated by a permeable membrane?

Back

Water will move from the area of lower sucrose concentration to the area of higher sucrose concentration by osmosis.

Front

Which organelles are involved in energy production in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplasts transform light energy into chemical energy, and mitochondria release energy from food.

Front

What distinguishes a plant cell model from an animal cell model?

Back

A plant cell model contains chloroplasts and a cell wall, which are not found in animal cells.

Front

What is the function of nucleic acids in body cells?

Back

Nucleic acids direct the synthesis of proteins necessary for proper cell function.

Front

What is osmosis?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of mitochondria in cells?

Back

Mitochondria are responsible for producing energy through cellular respiration.

Front

What is the function of chloroplasts in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplasts convert light energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis.

Front

What is the difference between diffusion and osmosis?

Back

Diffusion is the movement of solute particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, while osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water.

Front

What is the structure of a cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane is composed of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins, which controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
