Cell Diffusion Practice Test

In the given scenario what will happen?  An egg is placed in pure water for 48 hours.

• The egg will gain water and swell.
• Water will move in and out of the cell equally, and the cell with neither shrink nor swell.
• The egg will lose water and shrink.

Passive transport requires no

• concentration gradients
• osmosis
• motion
• energy

_______ regulates what enters and leaves a cell.  

• Cell Membrane
• Nucleus
• Mitochondria
• Cytoplasm

Osmosis

• diffusion of water molecules through a semi-permeable mebrane from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration
• the diffusion of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
• diffusion of water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
• the diffusion of particles from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration

The cell below is in a _________ solution.

• Hypotonic
• Hypertonic
• Isotonic

Which cell is placed into a hypotonic environment? 

• A
• B
• C
• D

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.
