Total questions: 10
Worksheet time: 5mins
What is the primary difference between diffusion and osmosis?
Diffusion involves the movement of water, while osmosis involves the movement of solutes.
Diffusion involves the movement of solutes, while osmosis involves the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane.
Both diffusion and osmosis involve the movement of solutes across a semi-permeable membrane.
Osmosis requires energy, while diffusion does not.
Which condition describes a solution where the concentration of solutes is higher outside the cell than inside?
Isotonic
Hypotonic
Hypertonic
Equitonic
What happens to a cell placed in a hypotonic solution?
The cell shrinks as water moves out.
The cell remains the same size as there is no net movement of water.
The cell swells and may burst as water moves in.
The cell becomes rigid due to increased solute concentration.
Which of the following is an example of passive transport?
Sodium-potassium pump
Endocytosis
Facilitated diffusion
Exocytosis
What is the main energy source for active transport processes like the sodium-potassium pump?
Glucose
ATP
NADH
GTP
Which process involves the engulfing of large particles by a cell?
Pinocytosis
Phagocytosis
Receptor-mediated endocytosis
Exocytosis
In which type of solution is there no net movement of water into or out of the cell?
Hypertonic
Hypotonic
Isotonic
Supersonic
Which of the following is a characteristic of active transport?
Moves substances down their concentration gradient
Does not require energy
Moves substances against their concentration gradient
Only occurs in plant cells
What is the role of receptor-mediated endocytosis?
To expel waste materials from the cell
To engulf large particles like bacteria
To selectively take in specific molecules bound to receptors
To transport water across the cell membrane
Which of the following processes is used by cells to release large molecules outside the cell?
Endocytosis
Exocytosis
Osmosis
Diffusion
