Cell Transport

Front

What part of the cell regulates what can enter and leave the cell?

Back

Cell Membrane

Front

Which type of passive transport focuses on the movement of water through the membrane?

Back

Osmosis

Front

In which case would a cell most likely shrink?

Back

When placed in a solution containing a high salt concentration.

Front

The cell expanded in size to the point of lysing (bursting), which means it was placed in a ____ solution.

Back

Hypotonic.

Front

What are the two types of cell transport?

Back

Passive and Active.

Front

Define passive transport.

Back

The movement of substances across a cell membrane without the use of energy.

Front

Define active transport.

Back

The movement of substances against their concentration gradient, requiring energy.

Front

What is osmosis?

Back

The diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane.

Front

What happens to a cell in a hypertonic solution?

Back

The cell will shrink due to water loss.

Front

What is a hypotonic solution?

Back

A solution with a lower concentration of solutes compared to the inside of the cell.
