chemical that inhibits energy production. Substance X is possibly transported into cell by what process?
A. Active transport C. Facilitated diffusion
B. Diffusion D. Osmosis
8. In the figure, the sack is permeable to both water and sugar molecules. Which event is much likely to happen to the
molecules of water?

A. Water will move from the sack to the jar.

B. Water will move from the jar going inside the sack.
C. water molecules will diffuse throughout the jar only without entering the sack.

9. When a red blood cell is placed in a solution of pure water. What is the best description of the interior of the cell?
A. Isotonic C. Hypotonic
B. Hypertonic D. Plasmolysis
10. Based on the figure, which is likely to happen if a red blood cell is placed in a distilled water?

A. The concentration of solutes outside is lower than that inside the cell.
B. The concentration of solutes outside is equal than that inside the cell.
C. The concentration of solutes outside is higher than that inside the cell.
D. This cell has burst to the large amount of water entering it.
11. A cell with 5% of solute concentration is placed in a beaker with a 1% solute concentration. What will happen to the
cell over time?
A. The cell will gain water and expand.
B. The cell will lose water and shrink.
C. The cell will both gain and lose equal amounts of water; thus, it will remain the same.
