(absorption of water and minerals by root hairs of
a plant)

2. Compare and contrast passive transport and active transport in human body.

Passive transport Similarities Active transport

Passive transport Differences Active transport

Concentration gradient

Cellular energy

3. There are three types of solution on plant and animal cells.

a) Hypotonic solution: a solution in which [solute] outside the cell < [solute] inside the cell
b) Isotonic solution: a solution in which [solute] outside the cell = [solute] inside the cell
c) Hypertonic solution: a solution in which [solute] outside the cell > [solute] inside the cell

Based on diagram below, explain what would happen to an animal cell and a plant cell when
immersed in different types of solution.

Normal size 4

Please use the keywords (KW) in the table to help you explain.
(KW: equal rate, maintain normal Isotonic solution (KW: equal rate, maintain normal
size) size)

(KW: osmosis, expand, burst, Hypotonic solution (KW: osmosis, vacuole, cytoplasm,
haemolysis) cell wall, cell turgid)

(KW: osmosis, shrink, crenation) Hypertonic solution (KW: osmosis, vacuole, cytoplasm,
flaccid, plasmolysis)
