Tonicity and Osmosis

What is the difference between active and passive transport?

• Active is high to low; Passive is low to high

• Active uses no cell energy; Passive uses cell energy

• Passive is high to low and uses no energy; Active uses energy and is low to high

• Passive uses no cell energy

The salt in the glass of saltwater is considered the

• solvent
• solution 
• pepper
• solute

In an isotonic solution which way will the water flow

• it will not flow at all

• it will flow into the cell

• it will flow both ways at equal rates

• out of the cell

A solution outside of a cell that contains a higher water concentration than the cytoplasm of a cell is called:

• solution

• hypertonic

• hypotonic

• isotonic

In this picture, which way will the water move?

• Water will move into the cell
• Water will move out of the cell
• Water will move in and out of the cell
• Water will not move
