About this resource

This quiz focuses on cell transport mechanisms, a fundamental topic in high school biology typically taught at the 9th grade level. Students must demonstrate understanding of passive transport processes including diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion, as well as distinguish these from active transport. The questions assess students' ability to identify different transport mechanisms through visual analysis and conceptual understanding. Students need to grasp that diffusion involves movement of molecules from high to low concentration, osmosis specifically refers to water movement across membranes, facilitated diffusion requires transport proteins to help molecules cross membranes, and active transport moves substances against concentration gradients. Additionally, students must understand tonicity concepts including hypotonic, hypertonic, and isotonic solutions and their effects on cells, recognizing how water movement in and out of cells responds to concentration differences in surrounding solutions. This quiz was created by a classroom teacher who designed it for students studying cell transport in 9th grade biology. The assessment serves multiple instructional purposes, working effectively as a formative assessment tool to gauge student understanding before moving to more complex cellular processes, or as targeted practice following direct instruction on membrane transport. Teachers can implement this quiz as a warm-up activity to activate prior knowledge, assign it as homework to reinforce classroom learning, or use it as a review tool before unit tests. The visual-based questions help students connect theoretical concepts to real-world applications and laboratory observations. This assessment aligns with Next Generation Science Standards HS-LS1-2, which requires students to develop and use models to illustrate how molecules move across cell membranes, and supports Common Core literacy standards by requiring students to analyze scientific diagrams and apply vocabulary in context.
