1.

What is an ion pump

a)

A cell that pumps out ions.

b)

A protein channel that helps transport ions

c)

a transmembrane protein that moves ions across a plasma membrane against their concentration gradient.

d)

a pump made of ions

2.

Active transport in which molecules are engulfed by the plasma membrane, forming a phagosome or food vacuole within the cell.

a)

Lysosome

b)

Phagosome

c)

glycolipids

d)

aquaporin

3.

what is Plasmolysis

a)

The process in plant cells where the plasma membrane pulls away from the cell wall as a result of the loss of water through osmosis.

b)

The process of removing plasma from out of the cell

c)

the process of taking lipids and adding it to the cell membrane.

d)

The process of moving protein through the protein channel to make plasma

4.

A membrane that acts selectively to allow some substances, but not other to pass.

a)

Selectively permeable

b)

Optional permeable

c)

Transmembrane permeable

d)

volume permeable

5.

Active Transport

a)

transport from high to low concentration.

b)

transporting activities

possessing both hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties

6.

Aquaporin

a)

A type of passive transport, facilitated by transport proteins

Protein channel that increases the diffusion rate of water through the plasma membrane.

7.

Carrier Protein

a)

Protein in the plasma membrane that facilitates the diffusion of a specific lipid insoluble molecule.

b)

possessing both hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties.

c)

The passive movement of molecules from high to low concentration

8.
