Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Nucleus		this is where cellular respiration occurs, which releases energy to be later be used
Chloroplast		this is where the cell stores its genetic material, the DNA
Ribosomes		this is where photosynthesis takes place
Mitochondria		this is where osmosis, diffusion, and active or passive transportation takes place
Lysosomes		these make proteins, which y'all now know we need
Cell Membrane		helps break down waste, damaged cell parts, and invaders to be later removed from the cell

What is diffusion?

The movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.

The movement of water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane.

The use of energy to move particles against a concentration gradient.

The process by which plants make food.

Active transport differs from diffusion because it:

Requires no energy to occur.

Does not involve the movement of substances.

Moves substances from a low concentration to a high concentration.

Moves substances from a high concentration to a low concentration.

What is the main purpose of photosynthesis in plants?

To convert sunlight into energy

To use chemical energy to make water

To absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere

To produce oxygen as a waste product

Which of the following best describes cellular respiration?

It occurs only in animals and fungi.

It produces oxygen as a by-product.

It converts sugar and oxygen into carbon dioxide, water, and energy.

It uses sunlight to produce sugar and oxygen.

Put the stages of mitosis in the correct order:

Anaphase
Telophase
Prophase
Metaphase

What is the main purpose of mitosis in living organisms?

To produce energy for the cell

To create new cells for growth and repair

To remove waste from the cell

To break down nutrients for the cell
