Osmosis is specifically.....

• 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

In which case would a cell most likely shrink?

• when placed in a solution containing a high salt concentration
• when placed in a isotonic solution
• when placed in a solution containing a low pH
• when placed in a solution containing distilled water

Active transport requires energy because...

• The cell is moving something against a concentration gradient
• The cell is moving something with a concentration gradient

A student noticed that placing wilted lettuce in a bowl of cool water caused the lettuce to become more crisp and firm. What is the best explanation for his observation?

• Water moved into the lettuce cells by active transport.
• Water moved into the lettuce cells by osmosis.
• Salt moved into the lettuce cells by diffusion.
• Water moved out of the lettuce cells by osmosis.

_______ regulates what enters and leaves a cell.  

• Cell Membrane
• Nucleus
• Mitochondria
• Cytoplasm

The picture below is an example of _________________.

• osmosis
• isotonic
• diffusion
• active transport

Where will the water go?

• Into the cell
• Out of the cell
• Equally in & out - it's isotonic
• There is no water

Nemo and other ocean dwelling fish cannot survive in freshwater because......

• freshwater is hypertonic to Nemo's cells and will result in water leaving them causing the cells to shrink

• freshwater is hypotonic to Nemo's cells and will result in water leaving them causing the cells to shrink

• freshwater is hypertonic to Nemo's cells and will result in water entering them causing the cells to swell and burst

• freshwater is hypotonic to Nemo's cells and will result in water enter them causing the cells to swell and burst

In the cell pictured, which way would water move?

• Into the cell, causing the cell to swell

• Out of the cell, causing the cell to shrink

• In and out of the cell equally, keeping the shape the same
