cell wall and chloroplast

What two structures are found in plant cells that are not found in animal cells?

New cards
22

mitochondria

Which organelle converts food into energy?

Homeostasis

Sweating is a process by which excess water and salts and a small amount of urea are removed from the human body. Sweating involves the skin and the excretory system. This ability of an organism to maintain a stable internal environment is called

Semi-permeable

The type of membrane that allows only certain molecules to pass through is

New cards
26

passive transport

The movement of substances into and out of the cell without the use of energy is called

New cards
27

osmosis

The movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration is called

New cards
28

Hypotonic

If the solution surrounding a cell has a lower concentration of solutes than inside the cell, water will move into the cell through osmosis, causing it to expand. What kind of solution is surrounding the cell?

Which of the following is an example of phagocytosis?

New cards
33

active transport

Potassium molecules move from areas of LOW concentration to HIGH concentration through a protein channel in the cell membrane. This would be an example of
