What gives shape and support to the cell?

Back

Cell wall: A rigid structure that provides shape and support to plant cells.

In the equation for respiration, what do animals need to create energy?

Back

Glucose and oxygen: These are the raw materials required for cellular respiration to produce energy.

Front

What is the function of a vacuole in a cell?

Back

Vacuole: A storage organelle that holds various substances, including nutrients and waste products.

Front

What are the raw materials for photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide and water: These are the essential ingredients that plants use to produce glucose and oxygen.

Front

What does the chloroplast produce that the mitochondria need?

Back

Oxygen and glucose: Chloroplasts produce these during photosynthesis, which are then used by mitochondria for respiration.

Front

What is the role of the nucleus in a cell?

Back

Nucleus: The control center of the cell that contains genetic material (DNA) and regulates cell activities.

Front

What is the function of mitochondria?

Back

Mitochondria: Known as the powerhouse of the cell, they generate energy through cellular respiration.

Front

What is the difference between plant and animal cells?

Back

Plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts, while animal cells do not.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis: The process by which green plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

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