EOC Cell Transport Qs

Which statement describes the process of osmosis in an animal cell?

• Sugar molecules have across the plasma membrane until the cell has enough energy to grow in size and divide.

• Water molecules move across the plasma membrane until solute concentrations are equal on both sides of the membrane.

• Ions move across the plasma membrane until the inside of the cell has a higher concentration of positive charges.

• Enzymes more across the plasma membrane until the cell has completed metabolism.

A type of cellular transport is shown.

Which description best identifies this type of cellular transport?

• Active transport, because energy is being used to move molecules against the concentration gradient.

• Facilitated diffusion, because energy is being used to move molecules with the concentration gradient.

• Osmosis, because energy is not being used to move molecules with the concentration gradient.

• Endocytosis, because energy is not being used to move molecules against the concentration gradient.

The diagram illustrates the activity of vesicles during a cellular process.

Which statement best explains the function of the vesicles?

• Delivering packaged materials to the Golgi apparatus for protein synthesis

• Exchanging genetic information between the Golgi apparatuses of separate cells

• Extracting portions of the Golgi apparatus to be regenerated for growth within the cell

• Transporting packaged molecules from the Golgi apparatus to be released out of the cell.

The picture shows a contractile vacuole of a unicellular freshwater organism. The contractile vacuole to fill with water?

• The concentration of water is greater outside the cell than inside the cell.

• The temperature of water in the vacuole is higher than the temperature of its environment.

• The concentration of water inside the cell is the same as the concentration outside the cell.

• The temperature of water in the vacuole is lower than the temperature of its environment.

This diagram shows cellular activity across a cell membrane.

Which two processes does this diagram most directly model?

• Energy conversions and synthesis of new molecules

• Synthesis of new molecules and homeostasis

• Transport of molecules and energy conversions

• Homeostasis and transport of molecules

The cellular process known as the sodium-potassium pump was discovered in the 1950s by Jens Christian Skou, a Danish scientist. This process is a form of active transport that moves three sodium ions to the outside of a cell for every two potassium ions that it moves into the cell. Which of these best explains why energy is needed for active transport?

• Ions are negatively charged.

• Ions are attached to large proteins.

• Ions are trapped inside the plasma membrane.

• Ions are moved against the concentration gradient.

Some students used vinegar to dissolve away the shells of three eggs and used these eggs as models of human red blood cells. The students observed the changes in the eggs when they are placed in different solutions.

Which statement best describes the role of the cell membrane in this model?

• The cell membrane is an impermeable barrier that prevents water from entering the cell.

• The cell membrane allows solutes to enter the cell, which causes the cell to shrink.

• The cell membrane allows water to enter and leave the cell.

• The cell membrane removes solutes from the environment.
