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 (Adenosine 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 (growth), S (DNA synthesis), and G2 (preparation 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.

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.

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
