Instructions: Answer question 1 – 3 by highlighting your choice; question 4 by writing the letter in the
box; question 5 – 6 by typing your response in the box provided only.

1. A cell has cytoplasm, a cell wall, naked DNA and ribosomes. Based on this information, what
type of cell could this be?
A. A cell from a pine tree
B. A grasshopper cell
C. A human red blood cell
D. A bacterium

2. What do diffusion and osmosis have in common?

A. They only happen in living cells.
B. They require transport proteins in the membrane.
C. They are passive transport mechanisms.
D. Net movement of substances is against the concentration gradient.

3. What route is used to export proteins from the cell?

A. Golgi apparatus → rough endoplasmic reticulum → plasma membrane
B. Rough endoplasmic reticulum → Golgi apparatus → plasma membrane
C. Golgi apparatus → lysosome → rough endoplasmic reticulum
D. Rough endoplasmic reticulum → lysosome → Golgi apparatus

4. What does facilitated diffusion across cell membrane require?

Answer: C

5. Define vesicular transport [1]

Vesicular transport is the predominant mechanism in eukaryotic cells for the exchange of
proteins and lipids across membrane-bound organelles.

6. Describe the movement of water across membranes. [2]

Water is passing through the membrane in a process of diffusion called osmosis. Energy is
spent during active transport to help material movement through the membrane in a
direction toward its gradient of concentration.
