✔✔ ATP serves as the primary energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular
processes, including active transport and biosynthesis.
How do different types of cell junctions function in multicellular organisms?
✔✔ Tight junctions create a seal between cells to prevent leakage, desmosomes provide
mechanical strength, and gap junctions allow communication between cells.
What is the purpose of cellular respiration, and where does it occur in the cell?
✔✔ Cellular respiration converts glucose and oxygen into ATP, carbon dioxide, and water. It
primarily occurs in the mitochondria.

, What is the role of chaperone proteins in the cell?
✔✔ Chaperone proteins assist in the correct folding of newly synthesized proteins and prevent
aggregation.
How do endocytosis and exocytosis differ?
✔✔ Endocytosis is the process of taking in substances by forming vesicles from the cell
membrane, while exocytosis involves the expulsion of substances through vesicle fusion with the
membrane.
What is the significance of crossing over during meiosis?
✔✔ Crossing over increases genetic diversity by exchanging genetic material between
homologous chromosomes during meiosis.
Define metabolism: ✔✔the chemical processes that occur within a living organism in order to
maintain life.
