BIOLOGY-CELL MEMBRANE AND CELL TRANSPORT

Which of the following structures serves as the cell’s boundary from its environment?

• mitochondrion
• cell membrane
• chloroplast
• channel protein

Which of the following is a function of the cell membrane?

• breaks down lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins from foods
• stores water, salt, proteins, and carbohydrates
• keeps the cell wall in place
• regulates the movement of materials into and out of the cell

The cell membrane contains channels and pumps that help move materials from one side to the other. What are these channels and pumps made of?

• carbohydrates
• lipids
• bilipids
• proteins

During diffusion, when the concentration of molecules on both sides of a membrane is the same, the molecules will

• move across the membrane to the outside of the cell.
• stop moving across the membrane.
• continue to move across the membrane in both directions.
• move across the membrane to the inside of the cell.

The diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane is called

• osmotic pressure.
• osmosis.
• pinocytosis.
• active transport.

An animal cell that is surrounded by fresh water will burst because the osmotic pressure causes

• water to move into the cell.
• water to move out of the cell
• solutes to move into the cell.
• solutes to move out of the cell.

• active transport

Which means of particle transport is shown in this diagram?

• diffusion
• osmosis
• facilitated diffusion
• active transport

Which means of particle transport is shown in this diagram?

Look at the cross section of a cell membrane of a eukaryotic cell. H+ ions are being pumped from a low concentration to a high concentration. 
How do you describe this type of transport across the cell membrane?

• active transport
• passive transport
• facilitated diffusion
• co-transport
