Elijah placed an egg in a solution during a science experiment and observed changes in the egg. The process that caused the changes in the egg was

• diffusion

• facilitated diffusion

• osmosis

• active transport

Scarlett is learning about how substances move in and out of cells. She wants to know which type of cellular transport allows molecules to move without the cell using any energy. Which type of cellular transport does not require the cell to use energy?

• endocytosis

• active transport

• exocytosis

• passive transport

Isla is learning about how oxygen and carbon dioxide move in and out of cells in her biology class. She discovers that these molecules freely move across the cell membrane. What is this process called?

Imagine Ava is packing her lunch in a special bag that only lets certain things pass through it. What does it mean if the bag is semipermeable?

• only water is allowed to cross the cell membrane

• all substances are allowed to cross the cell membrane

• nothing is allowed to cross the cell membrane

• some substances can cross the membrane while others cannot

Imagine Emma is making lemonade. She adds sugar to the water, and over time, the sugar molecules spread out evenly throughout the drink without stirring. In this process, how do the sugar molecules tend to move?

• low concentration to high concentration

• high concentration to low concentration

• they do not move

• they require energy to move

Liam places a drop of colored dye in a glass of water. After some time, he notices that the color is evenly spread throughout the water, with the number of dye molecules being equal in all parts of the glass. What is this state called?

• equilibrium

• passive transport

• diffusion

• active transport
