active transport.
passive transport.
facilitated diffusion.
Arjun and Hannah put a potato slice in salty water, and it became soft and shriveled. When they put it in plain water, it returned to its original shape. Which statement best explains this?
The slice regained its shape because salt moved into the potato.
The potato slice shriveled because water moved from the salt solution into the slice.
The potato slice shriveled because water moved out of the slice into the salt solution.
The slice regained its shape because the concentration of salt inside and outside the slice became equal.

Which superpower does Organism 3 have?
It can conduct photosynthesis.
It can move around in its environment.
It can produce male and female gametes.
It can survive for long periods by storing food.
What is the main difference between facilitated diffusion and active transport?
Active transport moves substances against the concentration gradient.
Active transport uses proteins in the process.
Facilitated diffusion moves molecules through the plasma membrane.
Facilitated diffusion requires large amounts of energy.
Which of the three cells are eukaryotic, and why?
Organisms 1 and 2 only, because they both have a nucleus.
Organisms 2 and 3 only, because they both use flagella.
Organisms 1, 2, and 3, because they all have ribosomes.
Organisms 1, 2, and 3, because they are all single-celled.

osmosis.
endocytosis.
exocytosis.
facilitated diffusion.
