Prokaryote vs. Eukaryote
Which one lacks a nucleus?
Prokaryote
Nucleus
Why is osmosis crucial for the cells?
it regulates water balance, maintaining proper cell volume, shape, and function
What are the main reactants for photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide and water
Do they both have a cell wall?
Trick question, prokaryote have complex cell and eukaryotes such as plants and fungus have a cell wall too. Simplified answer, prokaryotes have and eukaryotes (humans) lack one.
"Powerhouse," cellular respiration, makes ATP.
Mitochondria
What is the primary substance that moves during osmosis
Water
What are the main products of photosynthesis?
Glucose and oxygen
Which one has DNA
Both
Modifies, sort, packages proteins/lipids
Golgi Apparatus
Why is the cell membrane described as "selectively permeable"
The cell membrane controls which substances can pass in and out.
What does "selectively permeable" or "semipermeable membrane" mean in the context of osmosis?
selectively permeable or semipermeable membrane (like a cell membrane) acts as a filter, letting small water molecules pass freely while blocking or restricting larger solute particles
In the chloroplasts
Where is the DNA stored for both?
Pro: Located in the cytoplasm
Euk: Located in nucleus
Contain digestive enzymes to break down waste.
Lysosomes
What's the main difference between passive and active transport?
Passive: No energy required and follows high to low.
Analogy: Letting water flow down a stream
Active: Energy required and follows to low to high
Analogy: Pumping water uphill
Does osmosis require energy?
No, it is a form of passive transport
What is the role of chlorophyll
It's pigment that absorbs light energy
What is one difference between prokaryote and eukaryote.
Well the one I'm hoping to hear is that one is bounded by membrane organelle (Eukaryote)
Network for transport
Endoplasmic Reticulum
How does active transport move substances, and what powers it?
Moves substances (low to high) using membrane proteins, powered primarily by cellular energy (ATP)
What processes releases the energy stored in glucose?
Cellular respiration
