Biology: Cell Transport: Kahoot

Front

What happens to a cell placed in a hypertonic solution?

Back

The cell would shrivel due to water loss.

Front

What is the process called when a cell uses energy to transport ions against the concentration gradient?

Back

Active transport.

Front

Which cellular process is used to remove waste products from a cell?

Back

Exocytosis.

Front

What is an example of an active transport process?

Back

The sodium-potassium pump.

Front

What occurs to water movement when a cell is placed in an isotonic solution?

Back

Net movement will equal zero.

Front

Define hypertonic solution in relation to cell transport.

Back

A hypertonic solution has a higher concentration of solutes compared to the inside of the cell, causing water to move out of the cell.

Front

What is the role of the sodium-potassium pump in cell transport?

Back

It actively transports sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell, maintaining the electrochemical gradient.

Front

Explain the difference between passive and active transport.

Back

Passive transport does not require energy and moves substances down their concentration gradient, while active transport requires energy to move substances against their concentration gradient.

Front

What is osmosis?

Back

Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane.

Front

What is the significance of isotonic solutions for cells?

Back

Isotonic solutions have equal concentrations of solutes inside and outside the cell, preventing net movement of water and maintaining cell shape.
