Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Refer to your knowledge of passive transport mechanisms.
1. Which of the following is NOT a type of passive transport?
Diffusion
Osmosis
Active Transport
Facilitated Diffusion
2. The movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration is called:
Diffusion
Osmosis
Active Transport
Endocytosis
3. Passive transport does not require the cell to expend .
4. The movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration is called .
5. In facilitated diffusion, molecules move across the membrane with the help of proteins.
6. Explain the role of the cell membrane in passive transport.
7. Diffusion can occur in gases, liquids, and solids.
True
False
8. Osmosis is the movement of solute molecules across a selectively permeable membrane.
True
False
Match the term with its correct definition.
9. Hypertonic solution
a. Solution with a lower solute concentration
10. Hypotonic solution
b. Solution with a higher solute concentration
11. Isotonic solution
c. Solution with equal solute concentration
12. Compare and contrast simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion, providing examples of molecules that move by each process.
