A

A concentration gradient is the difference in the concentration of a substance between two areas.

20
Q

Fill in the blank: The _______ is the area where the concentration of a substance is higher.

A

source

21
Q

What is bulk transport?

A

B) Phagocytosis

23
Q

What is the role of sodium-potassium pumps?

27
Q

What is the significance of the fluid mosaic model?

A

The fluid mosaic model describes the structure of cell membranes, highlighting their fluid nature and the presence of various proteins and lipids.

28

A

C) Osmosis

29
Q

What happens to a cell in a hypotonic solution?

A

The cell swells as water enters the cell through osmosis.

30
Q

True or False: Active transport can only occur in living cells.

A

True

31
Q

What is the purpose of receptor-mediated endocytosis?

A

Receptor-mediated endocytosis allows cells to take up specific molecules based on their interaction with receptors on the cell surface.

32
Q

Fill in the blank: The _______ model illustrates the dynamic structure of the plasma membrane.

A

fluid mosaic

33
Q

What is the main difference between osmosis and diffusion?

A

Osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water, while diffusion refers to the movement of any substance.

34

A

C) Both A and B

35
Q

What does it mean for a solution to be isotonic?

A

An isotonic solution has the same concentration of solutes as another solution, resulting in no net movement of water.

36
Q

True or False: Carrier proteins change shape to transport substances across the membrane.

A

True

37
Q

What is the function of the plasma membrane?

A

The plasma membrane regulates what enters and exits the cell, providing protection and support.

concentration

39
Q

What is the role of cholesterol in the cell membrane?
