Cell Transport Quiz

Transport of molecules across the cell membrane with energy is called:

• Passive Transport

• Active Transport

• Facilitated Diffusion

• Osmosis

• Simple Diffusion

When the amount of water transported into the cell is equal to the amount of water transported out from the cell, the solution is called:

• Osmotic

• Hypotonic

• Hypertonic

• Active Transport

• Isotonic

Cell membranes allow some things to pass through and others are blocked. This is why our cell membranes are described as:

• Cellular Respiration

• Impermeable

• Exocytosis

• Osmosis

• Semi-permeable

The process by which organisms maintain a stable internal environment is called:

• Homeostasis

• Hypotonic

• Diffusion

• Osmosis

• Photosynthesis

Type of transport that does not require energy is called:

• Passive Transport

• Active Transport

• Facilitated Diffusion

• Osmosis

Movement of molecules across the cell membrane through protein channels is called:

• Endocytosis

• Facilitated Diffusion

• Osmosis

• Active Transport

• Simple Diffusion

How is the cell membrane of a cell organized?

• one layer of phospholipids, through which proteins freely move

• one layer of phospholipids

• two layers of phospholipids

• three layers of phospholipids

A plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution. What will happen to the plant cell?

• It will swell and burst.

• It will shrivel.

• It will stay the same.

• It will wilt.

Diffusion is the movement of particles from

• an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration

• an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration

• an area of equilibrium to an area of high concentration

• all of the above
