___ is particle movement from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration.

• Active transport

• Passive transport

Which type of passive transport focuses on the movement of water through the membrane?

What is the diffusion of water across a cell or semi-permeable membrane?

• Osmosis
• Diffusion
• Active Transport
• Passive Transport

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.

What part of the cell regulates what can enter and leave the cell?  

• Cell Membrane
• Nucleus
• Mitochondria
• Cytoplasm
