Question 1 [4]

Complete the table by checking the correct column for each statement: [4]
Statement Isotonic Hypotonic Hypertonic
solution solution solution
Causes a cell to swell
Doesn’t change the shape of a cell

Causes osmosis
Causes a cell to shrink

Question 2 [3]

Write the term with its correct description:

 Energy
 Active Transport
 Passive Transport
 Osmosis
 Equilibrium
 Diffusion

Is used during active transport but not passive transport

Particle movement from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration
Particle movement from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration
The diffusion of water through a cell membrane
The movement of substances through the cell membrane without the use of cellular energy
When the molecules of one substance are spread evenly throughout another substance to
become balanced
Question 3 [3]

Label the diagrams of cells using the following terms: diffusion, active transport, osmosis, equilibrium. The
arrows show the direction of transport. You may use the terms more than once!

High CO2 8 H2O 25 glucose molecules

levels molecules

2 H2O
molecules
Low CO2 levels 5 glucose molecules

10 H2O
High protein levels molecules
2 H2O
molecules

8 H2O molecules Low protein levels 10 H2O molecules

Question 4 [3]
Osmosis is the diffusion of water from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Only
water moves in osmosis! The diagrams below show the concentration of water and salt inside the cell and the
concentration of water and salt surrounding the cell. Complete the sentences below by comparing the
concentration of the water inside the cell and the concentration outside the cell.

1.
5% NaCl a. Water will flow (into
95% NaCl
95% H2O the cell, out of the cell, in both directions).
5% H2O

b. The cell will _ (shrink,

burst, stay the same).

2. 5% NaCl 5% NaCl a. Water will flow (into the cell,

95% H2O 95% H2O out of the cell, in both directions).

b. The cell will _ (shrink, burst,

stay the same).
3. a. Water will flow (into the
cell, out of the cell, in both directions).
95% NaCl 5% NaCl
5% H2O 95% H2O b. The cell will _ (shrink,
burst, stay the same).

Question 5
Complete the transport terms. Some letters have already been filled in for you!

1. Active transport requires _E_ to move molecules across membranes.

2. _D_ moves oxygen and carbon dioxide molecules from a high concentration to a low
concentration across membranes.

3. The cell organelles that burns glucose and provides ATP for active transport are the
_M_ ,

4. Water moves across membranes by _O_ .

5. _P_ transport does NOT REQUIRE energy.

6. A cell placed in an _I_ solution neither swells or shrinks because the concentration of
molecules outside the cell is the same as inside.

7. A solution in which there is a HIGHER concentration of molecules OUTSIDE the cell than inside
= _H_ .

8. A CONCENTRATION _G_ forms whenever there is a difference in concentration

between one place and another.

9. A solution in which the concentration of molecules outside the cell is LOWER than inside
= _H_ .

10. When molecules move from high to low along a concentration gradient we say they are moving “_D_
” the gradient.

11. The shrinking of a plant cell membrane away from the cell wall when placed in a hypertonic solution is
called _P_ .
