what does the acronym CHONP stand for
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Phosphorus
what is G3P
Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate
is the Dark reaction the first or second step of photosynthesis.
second step
is the light reaction the first or second step of photosynthesis
first step
what is the formula for photosynthesis
what are the two main groups of prokaryotic cells
Bacteria, and Archaea
what is osmosis
the diffusion of water usually as a solvent
what is diffusion
the spreading of particles or molecules from high concentration to low concentration.
does diffusion require energy
no
what is another name for high concentration
hypertonic solution
what is another name for low concentration
hypotonic solution
what is the idea of the Brownian motion
the idea that all molecules are in motion
why is water known as the universal solvent
because its unique molecular structure allows it to form hydrogen bonds with other molecules.
what is facilitated diffusion
a type of passive transport that uses specialized proteins such as channel proteins and carrier proteins to help molecules move across a cell membrane.
does facilitated diffusion use energy
no
how many molecules can pass through specific protein channels and/or transport protein
only one as the protein channels and transport proteins only let one specific molecule through that specific channel or transport
