Cellular Transport/Homeostasis
what is osmosis
diffusion of water through a selective permeable membrane
what is photosynthesis
the process by which plants convert sunlight into chemical energy
what are prokaryotic cells
single cell organisms
Do eukaryotic cells have a cell membrane?
Yes, they have a cell membrane that controls what enters and exits the cell.
what does plants use to make their food
sunlight
what is diffusion
movement of molecules from high to low concentration
where does photosynthesis take place
chloroplast of plat cells
do prok cells have membrane bound organelles
no
What is the function of mitochondria in eukaryotic cells?
They produce energy (ATP) through cellular respiration.
which has a nueclus prokaryotic or eukaryotic
eukaryotic cells
why is homestasis important
because it keeps the cell‘s internal environment stable
what are the main products of photosynthesis
glucose and oxygen
What is the genetic material in prokaryotic cells?
A single circular DNA molecule located in the nucleoid.
What types of organisms have eukaryotic cells?
Plants, animals, fungi, and protists.
How do prokaryotic cells reproduce?
By binary fission.
what does the cell membrane do
controls what enters and exits the cell
what is cellular respiration
the process of cells converting to glucose into energy
What is the cell wall composition in prokaryotic cells?
Typically made of peptidoglycan.
Do eukaryotic cells have a nucleus?
Yes, they have a well-defined nucleus.
What organelle in eukaryotic cells is responsible for photosynthesis?
Chloroplasts, found in plants and algae.
what is cellular transport
the movement of substances across the cell
where does cellular respiration occur
mitochondria of cells
Do prokaryotic cells have ribosomes
Yes, they have ribosomes for protein synthesis.
What are eukaryotic cells?
Complex cells with a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
What is passive transport?
The movement of substances across the cell membrane without using energy.
