Cell Balance

You put a cell into a solution, the cell grows. Is the solution hypotonic or hypertonic to the cell? 

• hypertonic
• hypotonic
• isotonic
• not enough information

This egg has shrunk, what type of solution was it placed in?

• hypotonic solution
• hypertonic solution
• isotonic solution
• active transport

An ISOTONIC solution has a(n) ______________ concentration of solute (dissolved stuff) than inside the cell.

• lower
• equal
• higher

What type of solution is this cell in?

• Isotonic
• Hypertonic
• Hypotonic
• diffused

The movement of water across the membrane for a high concentration to a low concentration.

• endocytosis
• osmosis
• facilitated diffusion

The spreading of molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration.

• diffusion
• osmosis
• active transport

A balance that an organism maintains by regulating what goes into and out of the cell.
