Chapter Review - Diffusion and Osmosis
What do you Know?
1. Label the three images below as isotonic/ hypertonic/ hypotonic (with regard to the solution the cell is placed in)
2. Movement across the cell membrane that does not require energy is called [ active / passive ] transport.
3. The cell membrane is composed of proteins embedded in a [ phospholipid / molecular ] bilayer.
4. If there is a concentration gradient, substances will move from an area of high concentration to an area of [ equal / low ] concentration.
5. The cell membrane is [ selectively permeable / impermeable ].
6. [ Equilibrium / Diffusion ] is the simplest type of passive transport.
7. The diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane is called [ osmosis / diffusion ].
8. The direction of water movement across the cell membrane depends on the concentration of free water[ molecules / solutions ].
9. A solution that causes a cell to swell is called a [ hypertonic / hypotonic ] solution.
10. Organelles that collect
excess water inside the cell and force water out are called
[ diffusion organelles
/ contractile vacuoles ]
11. The process of taking material into the cell by infolding the cell membrane is called [ endocytosis / exocytosis ]
12. In [ facilitated / molecular ] diffusion, membrane proteins help molecules across the membrane.
13. In diffusion, molecules [ spread out / condense ]
14. The lipid bilayer describes [ a type of transport / the cell membrane ]
15. Facilitated diffusion moves substances down their concentration gradient [ with / without ] using the cell's energy.

Observing Osmosis - use an egg, vinegar, corn syrup, will take a few days
