  1. What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?

    Answer: Mitosis produces 2 identical cells; meiosis produces 4 genetically unique cells

    Mitosis creates two genetically identical diploid daughter cells, while meiosis creates four genetically unique haploid cells.

  2. What is the function of lysosomes?

    Answer: Breaking down cellular waste and foreign materials

    Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes that break down waste, cellular debris, and pathogens.

  3. In photosynthesis, what is the primary product?

    Answer: Glucose

    Photosynthesis converts CO₂ and water into glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) and oxygen using light energy.

  4. What is active transport?

    Answer: Movement of substances against the concentration gradient using energy

    Active transport uses ATP energy to move substances from low to high concentration — against the gradient.

  5. Which organelle contains the cell's genetic material?

    Answer: Nucleus

    The nucleus houses DNA organized into chromosomes, controlling cell activities.

  6. What is the role of the endoplasmic reticulum?

    Answer: Synthesis and transport of proteins and lipids

    The rough ER synthesizes proteins while the smooth ER synthesizes lipids and detoxifies chemicals.
