into; shrivel
out of; lyse/swell
out of; shrivel
into; lyse/swell
What type of cellular transport requires a cell to use energy?
facilitated diffusion
active transport
diffusion
osmosis
If an animal cell were placed in a solution of salt water taken from the ocean, what would happen to the cell?
the cell would swell because the water solution is hypotonic
the cell would swell because the water solution is hypertonic
the cell would shrivel because the water solution is hypotonic
the cell would shrivel because the water solution is hypertonic.
Which of the following best describes an isotonic solution?
there is more solute outside the cell than inside the cell
there is less solute outside the cell than inside the cell
the concentration is equal on both sides of the membrane
none of the above.
the process occurs when the cell uses energy to bring something in from outside the cell
Endocytosis
Exocytosis
Osmosis
Difffusion
In passive transport, substances move across the cell membrane ________ the concentration gradient

BETWEEN
Which example describes diffusion?
Water moving across a semi-permeable membrane
Baking cookies and smelling them throughout the house
Ions moving through an ion channel
All of the above
Which describes a hypotonic environment?
Too much water in the cell will cause the cell to burst - the percentage of water is higher outside the cell than inside the cell
Too little water in the cell will cause the cell to shrink - the percentage of water is lower outside the cell than inside the cell
Concentrations of water are equal inside and outside the cell
Which describes a hypertonic environment?
Too much water in the cell will cause the cell to burst - the percentage of water is higher outside the cell than inside the cell
Too little water in the cell will cause the cell to shrink - the percentage of water is lower outside the cell than inside the cell
Concentrations of water are equal inside and outside the cell
