7.1-7.3 Flashcards
Which type of transport requires the use of a transport protein?
Facilitated Diffusion/transport
Which of the following refers to the diffusion of water?
Osmosis
In Passive Transport, molecules move up the concentration gradient from Low Concentration to High concentration.
(T/F)
False
Cell membranes are mainly made of proteins and ________________________.
Phospholipids
Oxygen (O2) and Carbon dioxide (CO2) can pass through the cell membrane through a process called _____________________________________.
diffusion
What is the function of the cell membrane?
control what comes in and out of the cell
A scientist wanted to observe which solution would increase the volume of cells in a potato. She cut three slices of potato. She weighed the potato slices first then placed them in different solutions. The first solution was water. The second was lemonade. the third was coffee. After 15 minutes, she weighed the slices again and recorded her data.
What is the Independent Variable in the experiment?
The solutions
Which type of transport requires the use of energy?
active transport
Which of the following refers to the diffusion of water?
osmosis
Which of the following describes a situation in which a cell does not have enough water?
hypertonic
Facilitated diffusion uses ____________ to pass molecules through a cell membrane.
Proteins
An animal cell that is in an extremely hypotonic solution will most likely
burst
The three main factors that affect diffusion are
concentration,
temperature
pressure
.
What results in an increase in the rate of diffusion?
an increase in pressure
an increase in concentration
an increase in temperature
In which of the following situations does water pass equally to both inside and outside the cell?
isotonic
Homeostasis
homeostasis is the state of steady internal physical and chemical conditions
