1.

What is Osmosis

a)

The process by which water moves across a selectively permeable

membrane

b)

The process of molecules going from a area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

c)

the movement of materials through a cell membrane using cellular energy

d)

When some substances can pass through the membrane while others can not.

2.

What is Diffusion

a)

When some substances can pass through the membrane while others can not.

b)

diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permidable membrane.

c)

the movement of dissovled materials through a cell membrane without using

cellular energy

d)

the process by which molecules move from an area of higher concentration

to an area of lower concentration

3.

What is Passive Transport?

a)

the movement of materials through a cell membrane using cellular energy

b)

the movement of dissovled materials through a cell membrane without using

cellular energy

c)

the movement of materials through a cell membrane using cellular energy

d)

the process by which molecules move from an area of higher concentration

to an area of lower concentration

4.

Examples of Passive Transport:

(a)  

5.

Active Transport

a)

some substances can pass through the membrane while others can not.

b)

the movement of dissovled materials through a cell membrane without using

cellular energy

c)

the movement of materials through a cell membrane using cellular energy

d)

some substances can pass through the membrane while others can not.

6.

Examples of Active Transport:

a)

Transport Proteins & Engulfing

b)

Osmosis and diffusion

c)

Oxygen and Carbon dioxide

d)

Plymolsis

7.

Why are cells small?

a)

The outside must be able to transport Oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other materials in and out of the cell, but has to do it quickly.

b)

They use the cellular energy

c)

the process in which cells lose water when they are placed in a hypertonic solution

d)

The process of proccesses

8.

What does a selectively permidable membrane do?

a)
Blocks all substances from passing through
b)
Allows certain substances to pass through while blocking others
c)
Only allows gases to pass through
d)
Allows all substances to pass through
9.

What makes a cell shrivel?

a)

It will lose too much water and shrivel up in a hypertonic environment.

b)
High humidity
c)
Excessive sunlight exposure
d)
Overhydration
10.

What happens when there is an equal concentration in a cell?

a)

implosion

(an instance of something collapsing violently inward.)

b)

equilibrium

(Equal movement of both sides) , and normal shape of red blood cell.

c)

disintegration (Bye, bye)

d)

explosion (Kaboom)

11.

What happens when there is High salt solution (water concentration low outside) to the cells?

a)

Cells will burst and release their contents (Delicous)

b)

Cells will shrink and will become dehydrated (water moves out of cell)

c)

Cells will expand and become hydrated (Hyrdration is key when it comes to cells :)

d)
Cells will remain the same size
12.

What happens when a salt has low salt solution (water concentration is high outside the cell) ?

a)
Water will move out of the cell through osmosis
b)
The salt concentration inside the cell will decrease
c)
The cell will burst due to excessive water intake
d)

Water moves into the cell, causing it to swell.

13.

What does a cell membrane do?

a)
Provides structural support to the cell
b)
Regulates the cell's temperature
c)
Stores genetic information
d)

Protects from the outside enviorment

14.

Concentration of a substance is the amount given in what?

a)
temperature
b)
density
c)
molecular weight
d)
specific volume
15.

What is Plasmolysis?

a)
Expansion of a plant cell due to water gain
b)
The process of cell division in plants
c)
The movement of water through a plant's vascular system
d)

Plant cell shrinks when placed in a Hypertonic solution

16.

What is endocytosis?

a)

Transport moves into the cell.

b)
A process that only involves the nucleus
c)
A process that occurs outside of the cell
d)
A process in which substances are removed from the cell
