Unit 6: Cell Transport

Question 1

Xylem

Answer 1

A tissue that transports water within the organism.

Question 2

Phloem

Answer 2

A tissue that transports products of photosynthesis.

Question 3

Short Distance Transport of Solutes

Answer 3

The movement of one cell to another.

Question 4

Osmosis

Answer 4

The movement of molecules across the cell membrane.

Question 5

Diffusion

Answer 5

The movement of molecules across their concentration gradient.

Question 6

Water Potential

Answer 6

Predicts the movement of water.

Question 7

Turgor Pressure

Answer 7

The pressure against the cell wall.

Question 8

Flaccid

Answer 8

A cell that has lost water.

Question 9

Plasmolysis

Answer 9

A flaccid cell pulls away from its plasma membrane and cytoplasm away from the inside of its cell wall.

Question 10

Aquaporins

Answer 10

Proteins that increase water movement across membranes.

Question 11

Transpiration

Answer 11

The loss of water vapor from plant.

Question 12

Stomata

Answer 12

Where oxygen comes in and out of leaves.

Question 13

Circadian Rhythm

Answer 13

The cycle in your body that tells you to go to sleep.

Question 14

Source vs. Sink

Answer 14

Source is where the sugars from photosynthesis are created, while Sink is the area where the sugars are used or stored.

Question 15

What allows for stomata to open and close?

Answer 15

The Turgor Pressure in the guard cells.

Question 16

Hypertonic

Answer 16

The movement of water out of a cell.

Question 17

Hypotonic

Answer 17

The movement of water into the cell.

Question 18

Isotonic

Answer 18

The free movement of water in and out of the cell due to equal concentrations of solutes and water.
