Proteins built into the cell membrane which assist with the movement of materials are called:
receptor proteins
transport proteins
marker proteins
channel proteins
Proteins built into the cell membrane which require energy to bind and to allow signal molecules in and out of the cell.
receptor proteins
transport proteins
marker proteins
channel proteins
Diffusion is the movement of a substance
through a lipid bilayer
only in water
from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration
from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
The diffusion of water through a permeable membrane is called
facilitated diffusion
active transport
osmosis
endocytosis
Which of the following is NOT characteristic of active transport?
It moves substances against a concentration gradient
It requires energy from the cell
It involves facilitated diffusion
It relies on carrier proteins that often function as the sodium potassium pump
Which type of membrane protein transmits information into the cell by responding to signal molecules?
carrier proteins
transport proteins.
receptor proteins
marker proteins
Molecules that are too large to be moved through the cell membrane can be transported OUT OF the cell by
osmosis
exocytosis
endocytosis
diffusion
If the concentration of a sugar solution is lower outside the cell than inside the cell, which of the following will happen by osmosis?
Water will move out of the cell
Water will move into the cell
Sugar will move out of the cell
Sugar will move into the cell
A solution where the concentration of a sugar solution is lower outside the cell than inside the cell, is a ______________ solution.
hypotonic
hypertonic

exotonic
How is the plasma membrane of a cell organized?
one layer of phospholipids, through which proteins freely move
one layer of phospholipids, which are laid out end-to-end, with a hydrophobic tail touching a hydrophilic head
two layers of phospholipids, each of which has its hydrophilic side turned inward
two layers of phospholipids, with their polar hydrophilic heads facing away from each other
What characteristic of the plasma membrane is illustrated in this drawing?
selective permeability
phospholipid bilayer
fluid mosaic construction
impermeability to water
The diagram below represents a cell in water. Explain why more water is moving out of the cell than into the cell.
The concentration of solute in the cell is higher than it is outside the cell.
The concentration of water outside the cell is too great.
The concentration of water inside the cell is greater than it is outside the cell.
Which movement of substances through a cell membrane against a concentration gradient requires energy?
osmosis
diffusion
active transport
facilitated diffusion
Homeostasis is the process of maintaining a cell’s environment. This includes the regulation of sodium ion (Na+) concentration within the cytoplasm. If too much Na+ is inside a cell, how can the concentration be changed?
More Na+ ions will enter the cell through the plasma membrane.
Excess Na+ ions will leave the cell via osmosis.
Excess Na+ ions will be transported out through membrane protein channels.
More Na+ ions will be transported in through membrane protein channels.
A ____ contains polar and nonpolar ends, forming the plasma membrane.
microtubule
transport protein
cytoskeleton
phospholipid bilayer
