Anatomy Cell Processes

The movement of fluid through the cell membrane from a high pressure to a lower pressure is called

• active transport
• bulk transport
• filtration
• diffusion

Two types of passive transport include...

• osmosis and endocytosis
• diffusion and filtration
• endocytosis and filtration
• exocytosis and bulk transport

A solution that contains fewer solutes than the cell is considered

• hypotonic
• hypertonic
• isotonic
• homogenous

The movement of materials to the outside of the cell by emptying a vesicle is called...

• filtration
• phagocytosis
• endocytosis
• exocytosis

A homogenous mixture of 2 or more components defines a(n)

• solute
• solvent
• solution
• saturation

A cell would lose water and shrink in which type of solution?

• hypotonic
• isotonic
• hypertonic
• saturated

Molecules in passive transport move in which direction?

• against the concentration gradient
• with the concentration gradient
• start out going against the gradient and then move with it
• do not move during passive transport

White blood cells engulf foreign substances by:

• exocytosis
• facilitated diffusion
• passive transport
• endocytosis

What component of the cell membrane makes it semi-permeable?

• cholesterol
• carbohydrates
• phospholipids
• transport proteins

Fluid in the brain resulting in swelling could be relieved by adding what type of solution?

• hypertonic
• hypotonic
• isotonic
• osmotic
