QUIZ CHAPTER 3 SIMPLE DIFFUSION

Simple diffusion is defined as the movement of A) molecules from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration. molecules from areas of lower concentration to areas of higher concentration. water molecules across a membrane. gas molecules across a membrane. gas or water molecules across a membrane.

B)

C)

D)

E)

When sugar is mixed with water, equilibrium is reached when molecules of A) sugar stop moving. water and B) sugar molecules are moving at the

same speed. the dissolved C) sugar molecules are evenly distributed throughout the solution. there are the D) same number of water molecules as dissolved sugar molecules. two E) tablespoons of coffee are added.

The rate of diffusion is affected by which of the following? temperature A) size of B) molecules steepness of C) the concentration gradient A and B D) A, B and C E)

The molecules in a solid lump of sugar do not move. True A) False B)

Diffusion is one of the processes whereby materials are exchanged between a cell and its environment. True A) False B)

OSMOSIS

Osmosis is best defined as the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration. molecules B) from an area of low concentration to an area of higher concentration. water C) molecules across a membrane from an area of low water to an area of higher concentration. water D) molecules across a membrane from an area of high water A)

concentration to an area of lower concentration. water E) molecules inside a container.

Which of the following will pass through a cell membrane most easily? small polar A) molecules small B) nonpolar molecules large polar C) molecules large D) nonpolar molecules large neutral E) molecules

A red blood cell placed in a hypertonic medium will A) B) C) D) expand. burst. shrink.

have no change in shape. become a E) white blood cell.

A 5% urea solution is hypotonic to a 10% urea solution. A) B) True False

If a cell is placed in an isotonic medium, there will be no net movement of water. True A) False B)

FACILITATED DIFFUSION

Facilitated diffusion requires A) B) C) D) enzymes. carrier proteins. lipid carriers.

carbohydrate carriers. lipid or E) carbohydrate carriers.

Facilitated diffusion occurs A) B) C) into the cell only. out of the cell only. in either direction depending on the temperature. in either direction depending on the concentration gradient of the molecule. in either direction

D)

E)

depending on the size of the molecule.

Facilitated diffusion is used to transport A) B) C) D) sugars and amino acids. H2O and O2. CO2 and O2.

CO2 and H2O. sugars and E) H2O.

Unlike simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion requires energy expenditure by the cell. True A) False B)

Facilitated diffusion requires a specific transporter for a specific molecule. True A) False B)
