Cell Transport Biology

Which type of passive transport uses transport proteins to transport items such as glucose through the membrane?

• Facilitated diffusion

• Osmosis

• Diffusion

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

• Facilitated diffusion

• Osmosis

• Diffusion

Which type of diffusion is represented?

• Facilitated diffusion

• Osmosis

• Diffusion

Which type of solution has the same solute concentration inside of and outside of the cell?

• Hypertonic

• Hypotonic

• Isotonic

A type of cellular transport is shown.

Which description best identifies this type of cellular transport?

• Active transport, because energy is being used to move molecules against the concentration gradient

• Facilitated diffusion, because energy is being used to move molecules with the concentration gradient

• Osmosis, because energy is not being used to move molecules with the concentration gradient

• Endocytosis, because energy is not being used to move molecules against the concentration gradient

Match the following vocabulary terms and definitions.

• Isotonic

• Same concentration; the solution and cell have equal concentration of solutes (particles), so water moves equally between the cell and solution.

• Hypertonic

• Low concentration; the solution has less solutes than the cell, causing water to move into the cell and out of the solution.

• Hypotonic

• High concentration; the solution has more solutes than the cell, causing water to move out of the cell and into the solution.

 An animal cell placed in a hypertonic (salty) solution will

• Stay the same

• Shrink- get smaller

• Swell- get bigger
