Cell Membrane Functions Quiz

Which of the following types of cell transport require energy to move a substance across a cell membrane? Select all correct answers.

• osmosis

• endocytosis

• facilitated diffusion

• diffusion

• exocytosis

Which statement is an example of osmosis?

• A substance other than water moves through a cell membrane to enter a cell.

• A water molecule moves through a cell membrane to enter a cell.

• A cell membrane only allows water molecules to exit a cell.

• A cell membrane blocks all molecules from entering or exiting a cell.

When energy is required to move certain molecules across the cell membrane it is called --

• Diffusion

• Active Transport

• Passive Transport

• Osmosis

What part of the cell allows it to recognize different substances in the outside environment?

• Nucleus

• Lysosomes

• Cell membrane

• Endoplasmic reticulum
