What are the reactants required for photosynthesis?
What is water, CO2, and sunlight
This is the name for a type of passive transport that deals with water molecules
What is osmosis
Thermoregulation is an example of what type of feedback mechanism?
What is a negative feedback loop
Contractions in childbirth are an example of what type of feedback mechanism?

Photosynthesis takes place in which part of the cell?
What is the chloroplast
This type of fat is sometimes embedded within the membrane, and allows it to maintain flexibility

What is shrink
DAILY DOUBLE: Answer this question correctly, and you will receive double the points. In what order does a newly formed protein go through: 1. goes to cell membrane 2. protein gets made by a ribosome 3. moves to rough ER and gets processed 4. gets exocytosed 5. put into a vesicle and travel to Golgi body 6. gets packaged into another vesicle

Which molecule is broken down during cellular respiration to release energy?
What is glucose
