Question 12

Question
The process of osmosis would explain the net movement of water into a cell if the percentage of:
Answer
  • water was 90% inside the cell and 95% outside the cell
  • water was 95% inside the cell and 90% outside the cell
  • protein was 30% inside the cell and 35% outside the cell
  • water and protein was equal inside and outside the cell

Question 13

Question
Freshwater protozoa may be distinguished from many marine protozoa by the fact that the freshwater species contain:
Answer
  • plasma membranes
  • contractile vacuoles
  • chromosomes
  • cytoplasm

Question 14

Question
An important role of the cell membrane is to:
Answer
  • store materials
  • change the rate of which chemical reactions occur
  • constructs proteins for the cells
  • maintain homeostasis

Question 15

Question
the cell membrane is said to be selectively permeable because it
Answer
  • is ultra thin and flexible
  • composed of lipids and proteins
  • allows only certain molecules to move through it
  • allows all molecules to pass through it, but only very slowly

Question 16

Question
what happens during diffusion?
Answer
  • molecules move automatically from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration
  • molecules are pumped from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration
  • an enzyme joins with a particular molecule
  • a catalyst speeds up the rate if a chemical reaction

Question 17

Question
during passive transport
Answer
  • the cell uses energy to move molecules across the cell membrane
  • molecules loves across the cell membrane without the use of energy
  • the cell uses energy to break chemical bonds
  • chemical bonds are broken without the use of energy

Question 18

Question
a plant cell shrinks when placed in salt water due to the movement of
Answer
  • salt molecules in the cell
  • water molecules out of the cell
  • salt molecules out of the cell
  • water molecules in the cell

Question 19

Question
a plant cell shrinks when placed in salt water due to the movement of
Answer
  • salt molecules in the cell
  • water molecules out of the cell
  • salt molecules out of the cell
  • water molecules in the cell

Question 20

Question

  • a catalyst

Question 21

Question
the organelle that stores water for the cell is the
Answer
  • chloroplast
  • vacuole
  • lysosomes
  • golgi complex

Question 22

Question
a red blood cell placed in distilled (100%) water will swell and burst due to the diffusion of
Answer
  • salt out of the cell
  • salt into the cell
  • water out of the cell
  • water into the cell

Question 23

Question
some single-celled organisms live in fresh water (100% water) lakes. what problem do they encounter on a daily basis?
Answer
  • water is diffusing through their cell membrane and they may burst if it is not removed
  • water is diffusing out of their cell membrane and may shrivel up and die if water is not pumped back into the cell
  • both a and b
  • they do not encounter any problems living in the freshwater lake

Question 24

Question
human blood cells placed in a 2% salt solution appear to shrink, but those placed in a 0.4% salt solution burst. which statement best supports these observations?
Answer
  • salt causes cell walls to swell
  • salt is actively transported across the cell membranes
  • the nucelus does not regulate water balance in a cell
  • osmosis may be occur in either direction across the cell membrane
