What is the process of osmosis? 

The process of osmosis involves the diffusion of water across a membrane


300

What is the primary function of nucleic acid

To store genetic information

300

What is the primary function of the Golgi Apparatus 

Sorting, packaging, and transport

300

Does the process of diffusion (passive transport) move solutes/particles from a high to low concentration or a low to high concentration?  

High to Low

400

Lipid

400

What is the primary function of the cell membrane?

Control what enters and leaves the cell (separates the inside from the outside)

400

Does the process of active transport (NEEDS ENERGY) move solutes/particles from a high to low concentration or a low to high concentration?  

Low to high (against the concentration gradient) 

500

What is the main difference between Eukaryotic cells and Prokaryotic cells? 

Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus

What is the difference between a hypertonic and hypotonic solution? 

Hypotonic solution: a solution in which the solute (dissolved particles) concentration outside the cell is lower than the solute concentration inside the cell 


Hypertonic solution: solute (dissolved particles) concentration is higher outside the cell than it is inside the cell
