What is the function of the golgi body?
Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins to be shipped out in vesicles (looks like a WiFi signal)

osmosis
300
How much energy is passed on from one trophic level to the next?
10%
300
movement of ions, and molecules across cell membranes without the need for energy input
passive transport (diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis)

Who established the Cell Theory?
Schwann, Schleiden, Virchow
300
What carbohydrate is responsible for cell rigidity and structural support in plant cells?
cellulose

Are viruses living or nonliving? WHY?
Nonliving; they cannot reproduce on their own...needs a host. (Does have DNA & evolve over time)

Name & describe the 3 solutions.
1. Isotonic: Water moves equally in & out
2. Hypertonic; solute sucks water out, cell shrinks
3. Hypotonic; solute sucks water in, cell swells
