CARD #2ACTIVE RECALL
Q: Define the term 'Osmosis'.
A: The net movement of water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane from a region of lower solute concentration to higher solute concentration.
💡 A passive transport process.
CARD #3ACTIVE RECALL
Q: What is the main difference between Mitosis and Meiosis?
A: Mitosis produces two genetically identical diploid somatic cells; Meiosis produces four genetically diverse haploid gamete cells.
💡 Mitosis is for growth/repair; Meiosis is for reproduction.
CARD #4ACTIVE RECALL
Q: What is the purpose of Chloroplasts in plant cells?
A: They conduct photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy stored as glucose using chlorophyll pigment.
💡 Found only in plants and algae.
CARD #5ACTIVE RECALL
Q: What is Active Transport?
A: The movement of substances across a cell membrane against their concentration gradient, requiring energy (ATP) and transport proteins.
💡 Contrasts with passive transport.
CARD #6ACTIVE RECALL
Q: Define the function of Ribosomes.
A: Cellular structures responsible for protein synthesis by translating messenger RNA (mRNA) sequences into amino acid polypeptide chains.
💡 Can be free-floating or attached to the rough ER.
