1.

What is the primary difference between diffusion and osmosis?

a)

Diffusion involves the movement of water, while osmosis involves the movement of solutes.

b)

Diffusion involves the movement of solutes, while osmosis involves the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane.

c)

Both diffusion and osmosis involve the movement of solutes across a semi-permeable membrane.

d)

Osmosis requires energy, while diffusion does not.

2.

Which condition describes a solution where the concentration of solutes is higher outside the cell than inside?

a)

Isotonic

b)

Hypotonic

c)

Hypertonic

d)

Equitonic

3.

What happens to a cell placed in a hypotonic solution?

a)

The cell shrinks as water moves out.

b)

The cell remains the same size as there is no net movement of water.

c)

The cell swells and may burst as water moves in.

d)

The cell becomes rigid due to increased solute concentration.

4.

Which of the following is an example of passive transport?

a)

Sodium-potassium pump

b)

Endocytosis

c)

Facilitated diffusion

d)

Exocytosis

5.

What is the main energy source for active transport processes like the sodium-potassium pump?

a)

Glucose

b)

ATP

c)

NADH

d)

GTP

6.

Which process involves the engulfing of large particles by a cell?

a)

Pinocytosis

b)

Phagocytosis

c)

Receptor-mediated endocytosis

d)

Exocytosis

7.

In which type of solution is there no net movement of water into or out of the cell?

a)

Hypertonic

b)

Hypotonic

c)

Isotonic

d)

Supersonic

8.

Which of the following is a characteristic of active transport?

a)

Moves substances down their concentration gradient

b)

Does not require energy

c)

Moves substances against their concentration gradient

d)

Only occurs in plant cells

9.

What is the role of receptor-mediated endocytosis?

a)

To expel waste materials from the cell

b)

To engulf large particles like bacteria

c)

To selectively take in specific molecules bound to receptors

d)

To transport water across the cell membrane

10.

Which of the following processes is used by cells to release large molecules outside the cell?

a)

Endocytosis

b)

Exocytosis

c)

Osmosis

d)

Diffusion
