Camponeschi - Cells target 3

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.

Question
Answer
selectively permeable   some substances can pass through while others cannot  
🗑
What are the three methods substances can move in and out of a cell?   diffusion, osmosis, and active transport  
🗑
diffusion   process by which molecules tend to move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration (HIGH TO LOW)  
🗑
what causes diffusion   because molecules are always moving and bumping into each other, when they are closer together, they bump into each other more, which spreads them out.  
🗑
Give an example of something that enters the cell through diffusion   oxygen enters cells through diffusion - when the concentration of oxygen is low in a cell, oxygen in water outside the cells diffuses in (from high concentration to low conentration)  
🗑
osmosis   diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane  
🗑
How is osmosis related to diffusion?   osmosis is an example of diffusion - it is diffusion of water across a membrane  
🗑
when a cell is sitting in fresh water, where there is a higher concentration of water outside the cell, what will happen? (use the word osmosis in your answer)   through the process of osmosis, water will diffuse into the cell (will diffuse from an area of high concentration - outside the cell, to an area of low concentration - inside the cell)  
🗑
when a cell is sitting in salt water, where there is a higher concentration of water inside the cell, what will happen? (use the word osmosis in your answer)   through the process of osmosis, water will diffuse out of the cell (will diffuse from an area of high concentration - inside the cell, to an area of low concentration - outside the cell)  
🗑
does the cell purposefully control how much water enters and leaves   no - unless it has a special structure to pump water in or out. water simply diffuses through the process of osmosis. the cell does not have control over this.  
🗑
passive transport   movement of materials through a cell membrane without using energy  
🗑
Is the process of osmosis an example of active transport or passive transport?   passive transport  
🗑
Is the process of diffusion an example of active transport or passive transport?   passive transport  
🗑
active transport   movement of materials through a cell membrane using energy - from low concentration to high concentration (opposite of passive transport)  
🗑
which process - active or passive transport - requires energy?   active transport  
🗑
Which process, active or passive transport, moves molecules from an area of LOW concentration to HIGH concentration   active transport  
🗑
which process, active or passive transport, move molecules from an area of HIGH concentration to LOW concentration?   passive transport  
🗑
   
🗑

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.
