Page 2: Cellular Transport and Photosynthesis

This page delves into cellular transport mechanisms and the photosynthesis process, explaining how cells maintain homeostasis and produce energy.

Definition: Osmosis refers to water movement across membranes following concentration gradients.

Highlight: The photosynthesis equation: H2O + CO2 → C6H12O6 + O2 demonstrates the conversion of light energy to chemical energy.

Vocabulary: ATP AdenosineTriphosphateAdenosine Triphosphate functions as cellular energy currency, while NADPH serves as an electron carrier in photosynthesis.

Example: In a hypertonic solution, cells shrink due to water loss, while in hypotonic solutions, cells swell from water uptake.

Page 3: Cellular Respiration and Cell Cycle

This page explores cellular respiration processes and introduces cell cycle concepts.

Definition: Cellular respiration is represented by the equation O2 + C6H12O6 → CO2 + H2O, showing glucose breakdown for energy production.

Highlight: The electron transport chain produces water as a byproduct and requires oxygen for proper functioning.

Vocabulary: Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm, breaking down glucose into pyruvic acid.

Example: During oxygen deficiency, cells can still perform glycolysis and resort to fermentation for energy production.

Page 4: Cell Cycle and Mitosis

This page details the cell cycle phases and mitotic division process.

Definition: Interphase consists of three main stages: G1 growthgrowth, S DNAsynthesisDNA synthesis, and G2 preparationfordivisionpreparation for division.

Highlight: The cell cycle is a crucial process ensuring proper cell growth and division.

Example: During G1 phase, cells grow and carry out normal metabolic activities while preparing for DNA replication.

I love this app so much [...] I recommend Knowunity to everyone!!! I went from a C to an A with it :D

Stefan S, iOS User

The application is very simple and well designed. So far I have found what I was looking for :D

SuSSan, iOS User

Love this App ❤️, I use it basically all the time whenever I'm studying

Page 1: Fundamental Characteristics and Cell Structure

This page introduces core biological concepts and cellular components. The content focuses on distinguishing characteristics of living organisms and detailed cellular structures.

Definition: Living things are characterized by cellular composition, reproduction capability, growth and development, energy usage, and response to stimuli.

Highlight: Viruses occupy a unique position between living and non-living things, containing genetic material and evolving but lacking cellular structure and independent reproduction.

Vocabulary: Organelles are specialized structures within cells performing specific functions:

  • Nucleus: DNA storage in eukaryotic cells
  • Chloroplasts: Photosynthesis sites in plant cells
  • Mitochondria: Energy production through cellular respiration
  • Golgi apparatus: Protein and lipid packaging and transport

Example: Plant cells can be distinguished from animal cells by the presence of cell walls and chloroplasts.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Samantha Klich

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

Knowunity is the BEST app I’ve used in a minute. This is not an ai review or anything this is genuinely coming from a 7th grade student (I know 2011 im young) but dude this app is a 10/10 i have maintained a 3.8 gpa and have plenty of time for gaming. I love it and my mom is just happy I got good grades

Brad T

Not only did it help me find the answer but it also showed me alternative ways to solve it. I was horrible in math and science but now I have an a in both subjects. Thanks for the help🤍🤍

David K

iOS user

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

In school I was really bad at maths but thanks to the app, I am doing better now. I am so grateful that you made the app.

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend

Best app if you're in Highschool or Junior high. I have been using this app for 2 school years and it's the best, it's good if you don't have anyone to help you with school work.😋🩷🎀

THE QUIZES AND FLASHCARDS ARE SO USEFUL AND I LOVE THE SCHOOLGPT. IT ALSO IS LITREALLY LIKE CHATGPT BUT SMARTER!! HELPED ME WITH MY MASCARA PROBLEMS TOO!! AS WELL AS MY REAL SUBJECTS ! DUHHH 😍😁😲🤑💗✨🎀😮

This app is phenomenal down to the correct info and the various topics you can study! I greatly recommend it for people who struggle with procrastination and those who need homework help. It has been perfectly accurate for world 1 history as far as I’ve seen! Geometry too!
