cell wall
cell membrane
nucleus
cytoplasm
The cell membrane...
controls the cell and contains DNA
is used for structure and support
controls what enters and leaves the cell
makes ribosomes
Which is NOT true about simple diffusion?
It is a form of passive transport

Osmosis
Osmosis is the movement of _____ across a membrane.
food
energy
oxygen
water
During osmosis
water moves from high to low concentration
large or oddly shaped molecules move across a cell membrane
water moves when energy is used
proteins are built
What is the definition of Selective Permeability?
The movement of materials across the cell membrane that requires NO ENERGY from the cell.
The movement of materials through (or across) the cell membrane
The ability of the cell membrane to allow some things to pass through while preventing other things from passing through.
The movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to a area of low concentration
Which cell is placed into a hypotonic environment?
A
B
C
D
Why did the red blood cell shrink?
It was placed in a hypotonic solution
It was placed in a hypertonic solution
It was placed in an isotonic solution
The oxygen left the cell
Which type of cell transport occurs when a cell's membrane folds inward to bring materials into the cell?
Endocytosis
Pinocytosis
Exocytosis
Phagocytosis
What would happen to a cell placed in a hypotonic solution?
Water would move out of the cell causing it to shrink
Salt would move out of the cell causing it to shrink/
Water would move into the cell causing it to swell
The cell would remain the same size.
What type of transport occurs when a large cell consumes a smaller cell such as a bacterium?
Endocytosis
Pinocytosis
Exocytosis
Phagocytosis
What transport occurs when fluid and solute is ingested into a cell by budding of small vesicles from the cell membrane?
Endocytosis
Pinocytosis
Exocytosis
Phagocytosis
How does particle size affect a molecule's ability to move across a cell membrane?
It is easier for small molecules to diffuse across the cell membrane
It is easier for large molecules to diffuse across the cell membrane
Particle size is not important
Particle size is not as important as shape when moving across the membrane
