Cell Structure
What is the basic unit of life?
What is a Cell?
What process do cells use to generate ATP?
What is cellular respiration?
What are the two main stages of the cell cycle?
What are interphase and mitotic phase?
This organelle is involved in packaging and shipping proteins.
What is the Golgi apparatus?
What type of transport does not require energy?
What is passive transport?
This structure encloses the cell and regulates what enters and exits.
What is the plasma membrane?
This term describes the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
What is diffusion?
During which phase does DNA replication occur?
What is the S phase of interphase?
Which organelle is responsible for producing ribosomes?
What is the nucleolus?
This term refers to the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane.
What is osmosis?
Name the jelly-like substance inside the cell where organelles are suspended.
What is cytoplasm?
What is the primary function of ribosomes?
What is protein synthesis?
Name the process by which a cell divides to form two identical daughter cells.
What is mitosis?
Name the organelle that stores substances such as water, salts, and nutrients in animal cells.
What are vacuoles?
What is the process by which cells take in large molecules through the membrane?
What is endocytosis?
Which part of the cell contains the genetic material?
What is the nucleus?
This process involves the engulfing of large particles by the cell membrane.
What is phagocytosis?
What is the term for the division of the cytoplasm during cell division?
What is cytokinesis?
This organelle is involved in detoxifying harmful substances in the cell.
What are peroxisomes?
This type of transport involves the movement of ions against their concentration gradient.
What is active transport?
This organelle is known as the powerhouse of the cell.
What are mitochondria?
What is the role of lysosomes in the cell?
What is digestion and waste removal?
What is the difference between meiosis and mitosis?
Meiosis results in four genetically diverse cells, while mitosis results in two identical cells.
What organelle contains enzymes that break down fatty acids and amino acids?
What are peroxisomes?
Describe the sodium-potassium pump and its function.
It actively transports sodium out of the cell and potassium into the cell, crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis.
