What is diffusion?

• The movement of particles from low conc. to high conc. in a given space
• The movement of particles from high conc. to low conc. in a given space

Which type of passive transport uses proteins to help molecules pass through the membrane?

• Diffusion
• Facilitated diffusion
• Osmosis
• All of the above

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.

Which characteristic of a cell membrane allows it to control materials entering and leaving a cell?

• A cell membrane is surrounded by fluid.

• A cell membrane is semi-permeable.

• A cell membrane holds organelles in place.

• A cell membrane is found in plant and animal cells.

Passive Transport

• Does require cell energy

• Does NOT require cell energy

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

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
