Which means of particle transport requires energy?
diffusion
osmosis
facilitated diffusion
active transport
Which of the following is a function (job) of the cell membrane>
breaks down lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins from food
stores water, salt, proteins, and carbs
keeps the cell wall in place
regulates the movement of materials into and out of the cell
An animal cell that is surrounded by fresh water will burst because the osmotic pressure causes
water to move into the cell
water to move out of the cell
solutes to move into the cell
solutes to move out of the cell
During diffusion, when the concentration of molecules on both sides of a membrane is THE SAME, the molecules will
move across the membrane to outside of the cell
stop moving across the membrane
continue to move across the membrane in both directions
move across the membrane to the inside of the cell
Diffusion occurs because
molecules are attracted to one another
molecules are constantly moving in and out
cellular energy forces the molecules to collide with each other
cellular energy pumps molecules across the membrane
Molecules tend to move from an area of high concentration to low concentration is called
facilitated diffusion
diffuson
osmosis
receptor
The diffusion of water across a selectively membrane is called
diffusion
active transport
homestatsis
osmosis
Large molecules, such as glucose, that cannot cross the lipid bilayer can still move across the membrane through a type of PASSIVE transport called
facilitated diffusion
active transport
osmosis
diffusion
Some materials can move across the cell membrane against a concentration gradient by
active transport
facilitated transport
osmosis
diffusion
Cells within a a multicellular organism communicate by chemical signals. In order to receive and respond to a certain chemical signal, a cell must have a ___________ for that chemical
osmosis
diffusion
homestatsis
receptor
Molecules from inside the cell being expelled out of the cell is known as
endocytosis
exocytosis
diffusion
osmosis
What would happen to to an animal cell with an internal salt concentration of 9% if it were placed in a salt solution with a concentration of 3%?
It would shrink/ hypertonic
It would stay the same/ isotonic
It would swell/ hypotonic
The picture shows an example of what type of solution?
hypertonic
hypotonic
isotonic
