Read each question carefully and provide your best answer. This worksheet will assess your understanding of cell environments and transport mechanisms.
1. Which term describes the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from a region of high water concentration to a region of low water concentration?
Diffusion
Active Transport
Osmosis
Facilitated Diffusion
2. A cell placed in a hypotonic solution will typically:
Shrink due to water loss
Swell and potentially burst
Remain unchanged
Actively pump out water
1. Active transport requires energy to move substances across the cell membrane.
True
False
2. Diffusion can only occur in one direction, from low concentration to high concentration.
True
False
1. The is a selectively permeable barrier that surrounds the cell cytoplasm.
2. When a cell is in an solution, there is no net movement of water across the cell membrane.
1. Briefly explain the difference between passive transport and active transport.
Observe the diagram of the cell membrane below and answer the question.
2. Identify two components of the cell membrane shown in the diagram and describe their function in regulating what enters or leaves the cell.
