        Help!  

Question
Answer
What is Diffusion   The movement of molecules of a substance FROM their area of HIGHER concentration TO their area of LOWER concentration until they are evenly spread.  
🗑
What happens to the rate of diffusion when there is a steeper concentration gradient   It is faster  
🗑
Name 2 substances that diffuse INTO cells in the tissues   Oxygen, Glucose, Amino Acids, Water  
🗑
Name 2 substances that can diffuse out of cells in the tissues   Carbon dioxide, Urea Water  
🗑
What do you call the holes found in cell membranes   Pores (or channels)  
🗑
What size must molecules be to be able to diffuse into and out of cells   Small  
🗑
What is the name we give to a membrane that chooses what can pass through it?   Selectively permeable  
🗑
What are the names of the 2 different types of molecule which make up the cell membrane   Phospho-lipid molecules, Protein molecules  
🗑
Is diffusion Active or Passive   Passive  
🗑
What does Passive mean   Does not require Energy  
🗑
What is Osmosis   The name for the diffusion of water  
🗑
Define Osmosis   Osmosis is the movement of WATER molecules from their area of higher water concentration to their area of lower water concentration THROUGH A SELECTIVELY PERMEABLE MEMBRANE.  
🗑
Is Osmosis Active or Passive   Passive  
🗑
Define Active transport   The movement of molecules AGAINST their concentration gradient from an area of LOWER concentration to an area of HIGHER concentration.  
🗑
Does Active Transport require energy?   Yes  
🗑
What happens to ALL cells when placed in 100% water?   They GAIN mass by osmosis.  
🗑
What happens to ALL cells when placed in a solutions of a lower water concentration?   They LOSE mass by osmosis.  
🗑
What happens to ALL cells when placed in a solution with the same water concentration as their cytoplasm?   Nothing  
🗑
What eventually happens to animal cells in solutions with a water concentration GREATER than the cell cytoplasm?   BURST  
🗑
What eventually happens to animal cells placed in a solution with a water concentration LESS than the cell cytoplasm?   SHRIVEL  
🗑
What eventually happens to PLANT cells in solutions with a water concentration GREATER than the cell cytoplasm?   They swell up and become TURGID  
🗑
What eventually happens to PLANT cells in a solution with a water concentration LESS than the cell cytoplasm?   They shrivel and become PLASMOLYSED  
🗑
What direction do molecules or ions move during active transport?   Against the concentration gradient.  
🗑
What molecule must be present in the cell membrane for active transport?   Protein  
🗑
Does active transport need energy?   Yes  
🗑
Name a molecule or ion that can be moved into or out of a cell by active transport.   Sodium or Potassium or Iodine  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
