Cell Transport

When particles move from areas of high concentration to areas less concentrated, this has taken place.

• mitosis
• endocytosis
• photosynthesis

Why are diffusion and osmosis important to cells?

• It allows them to take in materials/substances without using energy.

• It allows them to reproduce.

• It allows them to absorb sunlight.

• It allows cells to use all energy.

What does selectively-permeable mean?

• Allow certain things to enter and leave the cell

• Nothing gets through

• The cell lets only large substances through

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.

Passive transport requires ________________

• concentration gradients

• no energy

• motion

• energy

Which is true about active transport?

• It requires energy
• it does not require energy
• It moves substances down the concentration gradient
• it moves material from high to low concentration

Molecules diffusing with the concentration gradient through a protein channel is...

• Facilitated Diffusion
• Simple Diffusion
• Active Transport
• Osmosis

This cell organelle helps organisms maintain homeostasis by controlling what substances may enter or leave cells.

• vacuole
• nucleus
• cell membrane
• cell wall
