Passive transport: Moves with
*If this is challenging for you, think of a river. If you are swimming against a river, does it require more or less energy. It requires a lot of energy, so you would need to be actively swimming against the current.

5
Who is Robert Whittaker and when did he do his accomplishment?
He created 5 kingdom taxonomical classification in 1969
Enzymes lower and weaken what?
lower activation energy and weaken chemical bonds
What is the difference between a contract vacuole and a food vacuole?
Contract vacuole stores water and a food vacuole stores nutrients
Does the Sodium Potassium pump require ATP?
yes

What did Carl Linneaus do and when?
1700's- created binomial nomenclature which is a two term naming system using genus and species.
What is the difference between hydrolysis and dehydration synthesis?
Hydrolysis breaks down polymers into monomers and dehydration synthesis builds monomers into polymers
What is the difference between the Nucleus and the Nucleolus?
Nucleus stores DNA and the nucleolus makes ribosomes.
What is the difference between exo and endocytosis?
exocytosis: Waste products leaving the cell. Think EXO (exit).
Endocytosis: Solutes entering the cell. Think ENDO (ENTER)
