Passive Transport

What is diffusion?

• when molecules move from a low concentration to a high concentration 
• when molecules move from a high concentration to a low concentration.
• no movement 
• molecules move everywhere

What is the definition of  Selective Permeability?

• The movement of materials across the cell membrane that requires NO ENERGY from the cell.
  
• The movement of materials through (or across) the cell membrane
  
• The ability of the cell membrane to allow some things to pass through while preventing other things from passing through.
• The movement of molecules from an area of high concentration (where the molecules are more crowded together) to a area of low concentration (where molecules are more spread apart)

Equilibrium?

• a large  amount of substance on  side of the cell and a small amount on the other side
• a small  amount of substance on  side of the cell and a large amount on the otherside
• equal amount of substance on either side of the membrane  
• no particles on either side of the a cell membrane

Which way will the water molecules move during osmosis?

• Out of the cell, so the cell shrinks.
• Out of the cell, so the cell swells.
• Into the cell, so the cell shrinks.
• Into the cell, so the cell swells.

When both inside and outside of a cell have the same amount of water it is said that the cell has reached a state of

• Osmosis
• Diffusion
• Equilibrium

Passive Transport means

• Energy is used

• No energy is used

• Energy is created

Cell membranes are described as selectively permeable.

Four students were asked to explain what this means. Which one is correct?

• Student 1: Cell membranes prevent all materials from entering the cell.

• Student 2: Cell membranes only provide structural support for the cell.

• Student 3: Cell membranes regulate which substances can enter and exit the cell.

• Student 4: Cell membranes allow water and water-soluble substances to enter the cell.

All of the following are functions of a cell membrane EXCEPT

• surrounding and protecting the contents of the cell.

• releasing waste products from the cell.

• producing energy for the cell processes.

• allowing gases to enter the cell.
