Answers| Grade A | 100% Correct

Q: Osmosis

Answer:

passive transport of water diffusion where water seeks to have both solute concentrations across

a membrane to be equal (isotonic). water wants to dilute the higher solute concentration by

moving from low to high areas.

Q: Facilitated Diffusion

Answer:

specialized proteins embeded in cell membrane permit passage of substances of a particular

shape and size

Q: Lysosome

Answer:

stores enzymes (proteins)

digests macromolecules and cell waste

Q: 2 things that only plant organelles have that animals don't

Answer:

chloroplasts - site of photosynthesis

cell wall

Q: Prokaryotes

Answer:

cell without organelles or nucleus (bacteria, pathogens)

reproduce by fission (parent cell divide into 2 offspring cells)

a sexual

all offspring genetically the same

Q: Eukaryotes

Answer:

cells that contain organelles

Q: Enzymes

Answer:

proteins that act on a substrate
