Question 5

Which organelle is primarily responsible for ATP production in eukaryotic cells?

Accepted Answer

Mitochondria

Question 6

A cell is placed in a solution with a lower osmotic pressure than its cytosol. What type of solution is this, and what will happen to the cell?

Accepted Answer

Hypotonic; the cell will swell and may burst.

Question 7

Which of the following best explains how the resting membrane potential is established in a neuron?
