Cell Transport Quiz

Molecules moving from an area of high concentration of molecules to an area of low concentration, a passive process, is called

• Exocytosis
• Diffusion
• Osmosis
• Endocytosis

Cell transport that requires energy is called

• Diffusion
• Osmosis
• Passive transport
• Active transport

Which of the following best describes an isotonic solution?

• There is more solute outside the cell than inside the cell.
• There is less solute outside the cell than inside the cell.
• The concentration is equal on both sides of the membrane
• None of the above.

This process occurs when the cell uses energy to bring something in from outside the cell.

• Endocytosis
• Exocytosis
• Osmosis
• Diffusion

Facilitated diffusion involves movement of molecules across a membrane when they bond to 

• channel proteins
• lipid proteins
• a protein pump (carrier protein)
• sticky proteins

This type of transport doesn't require energy it includes diffusion as one of it's types
