a)
When water molecules have stopped moving or vibrating 
b)
When the concentration of water outside a cell is the same as the concentration of water inside a cell

What is the difference between active and passive transport?
a)
Active transport requires energy; passive transport does not
b)
Active transport moves molecules across cell membranes; passive transport does not 
c)
Active transport involves oxygen and water molecules; passive transport does not 
9.

a)
endocytosis
b)
active transport

13.
Why are there more dye particles in the right side of the membrane after 30 minutes?
a)
The membrane allowed active transport to take place
b)
he membrane is not like a cell membrane, so the dye can get through
c)
Only dye particles could move through the membrane
d)
Some of the dye molecules diffused through the membrane
14.
What causes the dye particles to diffuse through the membrane?
a)
Particles move from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration
b)
Particles move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration
c)
Particles move from an area of higher energy to an area of lower energy.
d)
Particles move from an area of lower energy to an area of higher energy
15.
What keeps cells from growing too large?
a)
If a cell gets too large, there is not enough energy available for active transport
b)
If a cell gets too large, there is not enough energy available for active transport
c)
If the surface-area-to-volume ratio is too small, not enough nutrients can move across the membrane.
d)
If a cell gets too large, there is not enough energy available for passive transport.
16.
Passive transport requires energy.
a)
True
