c)

Physical Movement

d)

Food

7.

What type of transport involves the natural movement of molecules from high to low concentrations?

a)

Diffusion

b)

Active Transport

c)

Dispersal

d)

Potassium Ion Channel

8.

What type of transport involves the movement of molecules from a low to high concentration?

a)

Diffusion

b)

Osmosis

c)

Facilitated Diffusion

d)

Active Transport

9.

What type of transport is shown in the diagram? Molecules are being moved across the membrane with the help of a protein.

a)

Diffusion

b)

Facilitated Diffusion

c)

Active Transport

d)

Osmosis

10.

True or False: In Osmosis, water will always flow towards the direction of the solute.

a)

True

b)

False

11.

Look at the diagram. Why does the water flow from the left side to the right side?

a)

There is a physical force pushing it through the membrane

b)

Active Transport is occurring to move the molecules against the concentration gradient

c)

There is a lower concentration of water molecules on the right side, so the natural flow from high to low is occurring

d)

The solute on the right has a charge that attracts water molecules

12.

What is a solute?

a)

The molecule with a higher concentration in a solution

b)

The molecule that is smaller in a solution

c)

The molecule with the lower concentration in a solution

d)

Any molecule dissolved in water, no matter the circumstances

13.

Why is the cell membrane considered to be selectively permeable?

a)

It allows all molecules to pass through

b)

Molecules are only allowed to go through the membrane through a channel protein

c)

It allows only some molecules to pass through but not others

d)

The cell membrane is not selectively permeable. The information in the question is completely false

14.

What molecules cannot pass through the cell membrane on their own? Select all that apply

a)

Polar molecules

b)

Nonpolar molecules

c)

Molecules without a charge

d)

Cholesterol

e)

Any lipid

15.
