Cellular Transport

Question 1

Cellular Transport

Answer 1

How materials get into and out of the cell

Question 2

Cell membranes are ________

Answer 2

Selectively Permeable

Question 3

Passive Transport Definition

Answer 3

A process that does not require energy to move
molecules from a HIGH to LOW concentration

Question 4

Passive Transport Examples

Answer 4

Diffusion
Facilitated Diffusion
Osmosis

Question 5

Diffusion

Answer 5

Movement of small particles across a
selectively permeable membrane like the cell membrane until equilibrium is reached. HIGH TO LOW CONCENTRATION

Question 6

Osmosis

Answer 6

diffusion of water through a selectively
permeable membrane like the cell membrane, Water diffuses across a membrane from an area of HIGH concentration to and area of LOW concentration

Question 7

Facilitated Diffusion

Answer 7

movement of larger molecules like glucose through the cell membrane larger molecules must be “helped”

Question 8

Hypertonic Solutions

Answer 8

High concentration of solute.
Cell in HYPERTONIC solution, water diffuses out of cell. Causes cell to shrivel

Question 9

Hypotonic Solutions

Answer 9

Low concentration of solute.
Cell in HYPOTONIC solution, water diffuses into cell.
Causes cell to swell.

Question 10

Isotonic Solutions

Answer 10

Cell in ISOTONIC solution, water
diffuses in and out of cell at same rate. Equal

Question 11

Active Transport

Answer 11

movement of molecules from LOW to HIGH
concentration. Energy is required as molecules must be pumped against the concentration gradient.
