What is happening to this cell and why?

Due to osmosis, water is leaving the cell because there is a higher concentration of solute outside the cell. OR there is a higher concentration of water inside the cell.

A student is trying to fill in the titles of the table above.  What would be the correct labels for the A and B portion of the table?

A- Passive     B- Active

100

What are TWO characteristics that both passive and active transport have in common?

Both maintain homeostasis or equillibrium, transport molecules in and out of a cell, types of transport

100

What type of transport does this represent? AND why might a cell do this?

Endocytosis. Cells like an amoeba may engulf nutrients to support the cell. (Amoeba eating a paramecium)

100

Which numbers in the table are describing PASSIVE transport?

1, 2, and 5

100

What will happen to cell model B? C? and D? AND explain.

B will stay the same because its in an isotonic solution

C and D will swell because they are in a hypotonic solution.

DOUBLE DAILY - which one will swell more?

200

The state at which a cell is in balance or equilibrium

Homeostasis

200

What type of passive transport moves water molecules through the cell membrane from high to low concentration?

Osmosis

200

Why is this considered active transport? (Provide 2 reasons)

ATP energy is used AND molecules are moving from LOW to HIGH

200

What type of transport is being shown in the image below?


Facilitated diffusion

200

What type of transport moves molecules from low to high, against the concentration gradient?

Active transport

200

What type of solution was this cell placed in?

Isotonic

300

The name of the structure that controls what goes in and out of the cell

Cell membrane

300

What type of passive transport moves small molecules directly through the cell membrane from high to low concentration?

Simple diffusion

300

Active transport requires ______ to move molecules against the concentration gradient

energy (ATP)

300

What type of transport is being showed in this image?


Simple diffusion

300

What is the type of transport where molecules move from high to low?

Passive transport

300

Which beaker, A or B, is hypotonic to the other?

A is hypotonic to B

400

What type(s) of transport help the cell maintain homeostasis?

Passive and active transport

400

What type of transport is represented by this attribute chart?

Facilitated diffusion

400

Provide an analogy to explain ACTIVE TRANSPORT.

Ex: Monomers are like Legos because they both build bigger things.

Teacher choice!

400

What process is occurring? (Be specific)

Exocytosis, a type of active transport

400

Use these two terms in a sentence that makes sense.

homeostasis; semipermeable

Ex: Transport of molecules through a semipermeable membrane helps maintain homeostasis.

400

Examine this experiment. After 20 minutes, this cell model loses mass. Explain how this could have happened. (Be sure to mention the tonicity of Z) 

Z was a hypertonic solution. This caused water to move from the hypotonic solution within the dialysis tubing to the solution outside the cell model.

500

The feature of the cell membrane that allows certain molecules in and out

Semipermeable 

500

What type of passive transport is being shown in the red blood cells below?

Osmosis

500

Which biomolecule is directly involved in active transport?

Protein or protein pump

500

What type of transport is being shown in the image below (A, B, C)?

A= Diffusion

B= Facilitated Diffusion

C= Active transport

500

Provide 2 characteristics (not examples) of PASSIVE TRANSPORT

High to Low, With the concentration gradient, no energy needed
