Resource summary
Question 1
Question
Choose the answer that best describes an selectively permeable membrane?
Answer
Substances can pass through freely
Substances cannot pass through freely
Some substances can pass through freely, but other substances cannot pass through freely.
Question 2
Question
What is diffusion?
Answer
The movement of water from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
The movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
The movement of molecules from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration
Question 3
Question
If an animal cell was placed in a more concentrated solution, what happens?
Answer
The cell will shrivel, and possibly die due to loss of water due to osmosis.
The cell will expand, and possibly die to the gaining of water due to osmosis.
The cell will shrivel, and possible die due to the gaining of water due to osmosis.
Question 4
Question
If an animal cell was in a solution that is the same concentration as the animal cells cytoplasm, what happens?
Answer
Nothing, the volume stays the same.
The cell will enlarge
The cell will shrivel

Nucleus
Question 7
Question
Finish the sentence: A hypertonic solution is _______?
Answer
one with a higher concentration of solutes outside the cell than inside the cell.
one with a lower concentration of solutes outside the cell than inside the cell.
one with the same concentration of solutes outside and inside the cell.
Question 8
Question
Choose the answer that best describes this definition: A solution that has a lower concentration of solutes outside the cell than inside the cell?
Answer
Hypertonic Solution
Isotonic Solution
Hypotonic Solution
Question 9
Question
What is Brownian Motion?
Answer
The random motion of particles suspended in a fluid.
The strict motion of particles suspended in a fluid.
The calculated motion of particles suspended in a fluid.
Question 10
Question
The loss of water from the cytoplasm and the movement of the cell membrane away from the cell wall in a plant is called ____________?
Answer
Turgor Pressure
Plasmolysis
Hydrolysis
Question 11
Question
If a plant cell is placed in a more concentration solution that its cytoplasm, what happens?
Answer
Water moves out of the cell due to osmosis.
Water moves into the cell due to osmosis.
The vacuole and cytoplasm shrivel and the cell membrane becomes detached from the cell wall.
The cell becomes flacid, loses turgor pressure.
Question 12
Question
Which answer best describes Osmotic Pressure?
Answer
the pressure which needs to be applied to a solution to enable the inward flow of water across a semi-permeable membrane
the pressure which needs to be applied to a solution to prevent the inward flow of water across a semi-permeable membrane
the pressure which needs to be applied to a solution to prevent the outward flow of water across a semi-permeable membrane
