DIFFUSION/OSMOSIS - ALTERNATIVE ASSESSMENT

This picture shows molecules of red dye that have moved. What is this type of movement called?

• Osmosis; the water molecules are moving from high concentration to low

• Diffusion; the dye molecules are moving from low to high concentration

• Diffusion; the dye molecules are moving from high to low concentration.

• Facilitated diffusion; because the molecules are moving through a protein channel.

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

• Active transport

• Passive transport

What term describes a solution that has the same solute concentration inside of and outside of the cell?

• Hypertonic

• Hypotonic

• Isotonic

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.

Where is there a low concentration of dye?

• at the bottom of cup
• in the color
• at the top of cup 
• no concenteraion gradient

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

Looking at this diagram, which way would the blue particles move?

• To the left

• To the right

• The particles wouldn't move
