When an enzyme loses it shape loses its ability to function. What term best describes what has happened to the enzyme.

• A. The enzyme has been denatured

• B. The enzyme has been activated

• C. The enzyme has turned into the substrate

• D. The substrate maintains the active site.

What does osmosis specifically refer to?

• Movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane

• Movement of gases across a selectively permeable membrane

• Movement of large particles across a selectively permeable membrane

• Movement of ions across a selectively permeable membrane

What happens to a cell in a hypotonic solution?

• It swells

• It shrinks

• It stays the same size

• It bursts

What makes a solution hypertonic?

• There are less dissolved solutes inside of the cell than on the outside. This makes the concentration of water higher inside the cell than the outside

• There are more dissolved solutes inside of the cell than on the outside. This makes the concentration of water higher inside the cell than the outside

• There are more dissolved solutes inside of the cell than on the outside. This makes the concentration of water lower inside the cell than the outside

• There are less dissolved solutes inside of the cell than on the outside. This makes the concentration of water lower inside the cell than the outside

Passive transport is an important mechanism for the movement of molecules across the cell membrane without the use of ___

What is diffusion?

• Active transport

• Osmosis

• Facilitated diffusion

• Simple diffusion
