CELL TRANSPORT REVIEW

Cell transport – Movement of molecules in and out of the cell

Match the definition on the left with the term on the right.

a. Passive transport

1. _____ Large wastes or cell products are released from inside to outside a cell

b. Diffusion

2. _____ Diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane.

c. Dynamic equilibrium

3. _____ The transport of particles which requires the use of energy

d. Exocytosis

4. _____ A state reached when particles continue to move but in equal amounts

in and out of the cell.

e. Osmosis

5. _____ Large particles are surrounded by the membrane and taken into the cell.

f. Active transport

6. _____ Movement of any particles from an area of higher concentration to one

of lower concentration, with the concentration gradient.

g. Endocytosis

7. _____ The transport of particles which does not require energy

Circle the word or phrase that best completes the statement or answers the question.

8. The structure most responsible for maintaining cell homeostasis is the

cytoplasm

cell wall

mitochondria

plasma membrane

9. The plasma membrane (cell membrane) is made up of a(n)

cholesterol layer

enzyme layer

phospholipid bilayer

protein layer

10. Which of the following is NOT a form of passive transport?

facilitated diffusion

diffusion

endocytosis

osmosis

11. Diffusion continues until

equilibrium is reached

turgor pressure is reached

one side has more

12. If a cell is placed in salt water, water leaves the cell by

osmosis

diffusion

active transport

phagocytosis

13. A cell moves particles from a region of low concentration to a region of high concentration by

facilitated diffusion

osmosis

passive transport

active transport

For each scenario, answer the questions and draw an ARROW to illustrate the movement of molecules.
