4.
  1. Red blood cells were placed in three types of solutions. Which of the cells were placed in an isotonic solution? 

a)
  1. Cell B since water is moving out of the cell at a faster rate.

b)
  1. Cell B since water is moving in and out of the cell at the same rate.

c)
  1. Cell B since water is moving out of the cell at a faster rate.

d)
  1. Cell C since water is moving out of the cell at a faster rate

5.
  1. n an investigation on tonicity, a group of students drop salt water on this cell below. What will the students most likely observe? 

  2. The plant will [shrink/swell/stay the same]. This is because the salt water is a [hypotonic/hypertonic/isotonic] solution which causes the water to [enter/exit/stay in] the plant cell.

a)

shrink

hypertonic

exit

b)

swell

hypotonic

enter

c)

stay the same

istonic

stay in

d)

shrink

hypotonic

enter

6.
  1. Select all that apply: Why might a cell use endocytosis or exocytosis to transport molecules across the cell membrane? 

a)
  1. Molecules are too small to be transported by passive transport at one time. 

b)
  1. Molecules are too large to be transported by passive transport at one time.

c)
  1. There are too many molecules to be transported by passive transport at one time.

d)
  1. There are too few molecules to be transported by passive transport at one time.

7.

When the concentration of molecules on both sides of a selectively permeable membrane is the same

this is called equilibrium. At equilibrium, __.

a)

a. More Molecules move across the membrane to the outside of the cell.

b)

b. Molecules stop moving across the membrane.

c)

c. Molecules move across the membrane at the same rate in both directions.

d)

d. More Molecules move across the membrane to the inside of the cell.

8.

Which type of cellular transport would be most affected by damage to mitochondria?

a)
  1. Active transport

b)
  1. Osmosis

c)
  1. Diffusion

d)
  1. Facilitated diffusion

9.
  1. There are two types of cellular transport. In active transport, the molecules are moving [with/against] the concentration gradient and this movement [does/does not] require ATP energy. This is because the molecules are moving from an area of [low/high] concentration to an area of [low/high] concentration of molecules. 

a)

against

does

low

high

b)

with

does not

high

low

c)

against

does not

high

low

d)

with

does

low

high

10.

Why is an animal cell that is surrounded by fresh water likely to burst (lyse)?

a)
  1. Water moves into the cell via osmosis.

b)

Water moves out of the cell via osmosis.

c)
  1. Solutes move into the cell via osmosis.

d)
  1. Solutes move out of the cell via osmosis.

11.
  1. A solution concentration is the concentration of the solute and the concentration of the solvent. Each beaker contains a cell with 10% salt concentration. The concentration of the salt in each beaker is shown at the top of each beaker. Which beaker contains a hypotonic solution? 

a)
  1. Beaker # 1

b)
  1. Beaker # 2

c)
  1. Beakers # 1 and # 2

d)
  1. Beaker # 3

12.
  1. Students are carrying out an osmosis experiment in Biology lab. They placed pieces of celery into two different solutions and let them sit for 2 days. Solution 1 is salt water. Solution 2 is pure water. After 2 days, the celery in Solution 1 shriveled, while the celery in Solution 2 looked the same. 


What question are the students investigating in this experiment? 

a)
  1. How much salt will the celery absorb from the solution?

b)
  1. How will the tonicity of a cell’s external environment affect the size of the celery cell?

c)
  1. How will salt move from the external environment into the celery cell?

d)
  1. How will salt move from the inside of the celery cell to the external environment?

13.
