Simple diffusion

b)

Facilitated diffusion

c)

19.

Which of the following best describes the difference between active and passive transport?

a)

Active transport moves molecules from high to low concentration, while passive transport moves them from low to high.

b)

Passive transport requires energy, while active transport does not.

c)

Active transport requires energy to move molecules from low to high concentration, while passive transport moves molecules from high to low without using energy.

d)

Both active and passive transport require energy to move molecules across the membrane.

20.

What do active and passive transport have in common?

a)

Both help maintain homeostasis by transporting materials across the cell membrane.

b)

Both move substances from low to high concentration.

c)

Both require energy to function.

d)

Both always move substances out of the cell.

21.

Which of the following is a key difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

a)

Eukaryotic cells have a true nucleus and are generally larger and more complex, while prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and are smaller and simpler.

b)

Prokaryotic cells have a nucleus, while eukaryotic cells do not.

c)

Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have mitochondria to produce energy.

d)

Prokaryotic cells are always multicellular, while eukaryotic cells are always unicellular.

22.

Which of the following is the best independent variable to answer the guiding question?

a)

The initial mass of the potato

b)

The amount or concentration of salt in the solution

c)

The final mass of the potato after osmosis

d)

The percent change in potato mass

23.

Claim: If the amount of salt increases, then the percent change in the mass of the potato will decrease because the concentration of water is lower outside the plant cell than inside the cell.

Does this evidence support the claim and why?

a)

Yes, because the graph shows that as the concentration of salt increases, the percent change decreases.

b)

No, because the data shows that the potato gained mass, meaning water moved into the plant cells instead of out.

c)

Yes, because the graph shows that as the concentration of salt increases, the percent change increases.

d)

No, because osmosis only affects solute movement, not water movement.

c)

Hypotonic
