Back

Decreasing

Front

What is something that prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have in common?

Back

They have DNA.

Front

The cell membrane's main purpose is...

Back

Selective Permeability

Front

Where in the cell does cell respiration occur?

Back

Mitochondria

Front

What is the function of chloroplasts?

Back

Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

Front

What is the role of mitochondria in a cell?

Back

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell, where cellular respiration occurs to produce ATP.

Front

Define selective permeability in the context of cell membranes.

Back

Selective permeability refers to the ability of a cell membrane to allow certain substances to pass while blocking others.

Front

What is the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Back

Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells do.

Front

What is the primary function of enzymes in biological reactions?

Back

Enzymes speed up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy required.
