Not living organisms, can only reproduce in living cells,no cellular structures,

Question 36

What does a nucleus do

Answer 36

the nucleus serves both as the repository of genetic information and as the cell's control center.

Question 37

What does the cytoplasm do

Answer 37

The cytoplasm is responsible for holding the components of the cell and protects them from damage.

Question 38

What does the cell membrane do

Answer 38

It controls what goes in and out of the cell

Question 39

What does the cell wall do

Answer 39

It provides the cell with both structural support and protection, and also acts as a filtering mechanism.

Question 40

What does the mitochondria do

Answer 40

Mitochondria are membrane-bound cell organelles (mitochondrion, singular) that generate most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell's biochemical reactions where photosynthesis occurs

Question 41

What does the ribosomes do

Answer 41

A ribosome is the cellular machinery responsible for making proteins

Question 42

What does the vacuole do

Answer 42

Vacuoles might store food or any variety of nutrients a cell might need to survive.

Question 43

What is osmosis

Answer 43

Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules from a dilute solution (high water potential) to a concentrated solution(low water potential) across a partially permeable membrane

Question 44

What is active transport

Answer 44

Active transport allows cells to move substances from a low concentration to a high concentration. This movement is against the concentration gradient. Active transport requires energy, which is released during respiration
