Distinguish between active versus passive transport
active transport requires energy and work and passive transport does not
Describe the direction water or solutes will travel in a hypertonic,hypotonic, and isotonic solution
In hypertonic water will move across the cell membrane in order to even out the concentration of solutes in both the cell and the environment around the cell. In hypotonic Water will move from the environment into the cell in order to balance the concentration of solute. In a isotonic water will diffuse both in and out of the cell, but no effects will be seen.
Distinguish between endocytosis and exocytosis
Endocytosis is the cellular uptake of biological molecules and particulate matter via formation of new vesicles from the plasma membrane. Exocytosis is the cellular secretion of biological molecules by the fusion of vesicles containing them with the plasma membrane.
Describe how the maintenance of a realistically stable internal environment is required for survival
It is process of maintaining constant internal environment despite the variations in externalenvironmental conditions.
Describe cell specialization in multicelllar organisms
The specialization of a multicellular organism is that they live longer than single celled organisms do with just one job.
List the levels of organization in eukaryotes beginning with organelles & ending with an organism

Draw and describes the basic structure of ATP, where its energy is located, & why it is needed by cells.
A nitrogenous base (in this case, Adenine) attached to a 5 Carbon sugar (Ribose), which is attached to 3 phosphate groups in a row.
Write the reduced equation for photosynthesis
6CO2 + 6H2O ------> C6H12O6 + 6O2
List the products of the light- dependent versus the light-independent ractions
Light-independent - chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and other compounds into glucose.
Light-dependent- light energy from the sun is used to split water which has been sucked in by plants by transpiration. Water, when broken, makes oxygen, hydrogen, and electrons.
Describe the organelle where the parts of photosynthesis occurs
photosynthesis takes place inside an organelle called a chloroplast.
