Biology Unit 2 review
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are the three parts of the cell theory? | All living things are composed of cells, cells are the basic building blocks of all living things, and new cells are made from existing cells. |
| What is the difference between a prokaryote and an eukaryote? | A prokaryote is a smaller cell, is less complex, and does not have a nucleus. It is classified as bacteria. An eukaryote is a larger, more complex cell, with a nucleus. |
| What is osmosis? | The diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane. |
| What is diffusion? | Particles moving from a highly concentrated area to a less concentrated area. (no energy is used) |
| What is active transport? | The moving of particles from a less concentrated area to a highly concentrated area. (energy is used) |
| What is a hypo-tonic solution? | When the solution is less concentrated than the cell |
| What is a hyper-tonic solution? | When the solution is more concentrated than the cell. |
| What is an isotonic solution? | When the solution and the cell have the same concentration. |
| What is a permeable membrane? | A membrane that can be passed through |
| What happens in a hyper-tonic solution permeable to water? | The cells shrink and dry up. |
| What happens in a hypo-tonic solution permeable to water? | The cells swell. |
