- Q1
How does the cell membrane help maintain homeostasis for the cell?
By regulating the transport in and out of the cell
By providing a circular structure for all cells
By making proteins to provide the cell with energy
By storing food as future energy for the cell
300sBIOL.4b - Q2
A student illustrated a model of particles being transported out of the cell.
What best describes the transport process occurring in the model?
Sodium ions are moving from high concentration to low concentration without using energy.
Energy is used to move sodium ions from low concentration to high concentration.
Sodium ions are moving from low concentration to high concentration without using energy.
Energy is used to move sodium ions from high concentration to low concentration.
300sBIOL.4b - Q3
A scientist is investigating cell transport. She observes molecules being transported into a cell through proteins present in the cell membrane. These proteins do not use energy to transport the molecules.
Osmosis because the molecules were moving against the concentration gradient
Active transport because membrane proteins were used
Diffusion because the molecules were entering the cell
Facilitated diffusion because the proteins were not using energy
300sBIOL.4b - Q4
Which of the following describes a form of active transport?
Membrane proteins provide a pathway for larger particles to move across the cell membrane and bring the cell and environment closer to equilibrium.
Large molecules are brought into the cell by wrapping the cell membrane around the molecules to form a vacuole.
Water moves across the cell membrane from the side with high osmotic pressure towards the side with low osmotic pressure.
300sBIOL.4b - Q5
Which of the following describes a form of passive transport?
Large molecules are brought into the cell by wrapping the cell membrane around the molecules to form a vacuole.
Membrane proteins act as an enzyme to break down ATP and use the energy to move particles against the concentration gradient.
Membrane proteins use the energy of the cell’s resting potential to move particles against the concentration gradient.
Membrane proteins provide a pathway for larger particles to move across the cell membrane and bring the cell and environment closer to equilibrium.
300sBIOL.4b - Q6
Which of the following describes osmosis?
Water moves across the cell membrane from the side with high osmotic pressure towards the side with low osmotic pressure.
Oxygen transfers into red blood cells through small gaps in the cell membrane from the oxygen-rich environment surrounding the cells.
Large molecules are brought into the cell by wrapping the cell membrane around the molecules to form a vacuole.
Membrane proteins provide a pathway for larger particles to move across the cell membrane and bring the cell and environment closer to equilibrium.
300sBIOL.4b - Q7
Students are discussing what they know about cellular transport. Their explanations are displayed in the table.
Which student(s) gave an accurate statement regarding cellular transport?
Students 1, 2, and 4
Students 1 and 2
Students 2, 3, and 4
Student 1 only
300sBIOL.4b - Q8
Diffusion and osmosis are both vital to cell function. Diffusion and osmosis are similar in that they are both types of –
protein synthesis processes
passive transport processes
cellular metabolism processes
cellular replication processes
300sBIOL.4b - Q9
This diagram shows cellular activity across a cell membrane.
Which two processes does this diagram most directly model?
Energy conversions and synthesis of new molecules
Homeostasis and transport of molecules
Transport of molecules and energy conversions
Synthesis of new molecules and homeostasis
300sBIOL.4b - Q10
Some students used vinegar to dissolve away the shells of three eggs and used these eggs as models of human red blood cells. The students observed the changes in the eggs when they were placed in different solutions.
Which statement best describes the role of the cell membrane in this model?
The cell membrane removes solutes from the environment. ▲
The cell membrane allows water to enter and leave the cell.
The cell membrane is an impermeable barrier that prevents water from entering the cell.
The cell membrane allows solutes to enter the cell, which causes the cell to shrink.
300sBIOL.4b - Q11
The picture shows a contractile vacuole of a unicellular freshwater organism. The contractile vacuole regulates the flow of water into and out of the cell in an aquatic environment.
What conditions cause the contractile vacuole to fill with water?
The concentration of water is greater outside the cell than inside the cell.
The concentration of water inside the cell is the same as the concentration outside the cell.
The temperature of water in the vacuole is higher than the temperature of its environment.
The temperature of water in the vacuole is lower than the temperature of its environment. ▲
300sBIOL.4b - Q12
The diagram illustrates the activity of vesicles during a cellular process.
Which statement best explains the function of the vesicles?
Exchanging genetic information between the Golgi apparatuses of separate cells
Delivering packaged materials to the Golgi apparatus for protein synthesis
Extracting portions of the Golgi apparatus to be regenerated for growth within the cell
Transporting packaged molecules (vehicles) from the Golgi apparatus to be released out of the cell
300sBIOL.4b - Q13
A few drops of Lugol's iodine solution placed in a beaker of water will turn the water red. A white starch solution was poured into a length of dialysis tubing and the ends were tied. The tubing was then dropped into the beaker of iodine solution. After 10 minutes, the white starch solution turned black, and the iodine water remained red. In the model, what is the tubing most likely representing?
chloroplast
mitochondria
nucleus
cell membrane
300sBIOL.4b - Q14
A type of cellular transport is shown. Which description best identifies this type of cellular transport?
Facilitated diffusion, because energy is being used to move molecules with the concentration gradient
Osmosis, because energy is not being used to move molecules with the concentration gradient
Endocytosis, because energy is not being used to move molecules against the concentration gradient
▲
Active transport, because energy is being used to move molecules against the concentration gradient
300sBIOL.4b - Q15
The cellular process known as the sodium-potassium pump was discovered in the 1950s by Jens Christian Skou, a Danish scientist. This process is a form of active transport that moves three sodium ions to the outside of a cell for every two potassium ions that it moves into the cell. Which of these best explains why energy is needed for active transport?
Ions are attached to large proteins
Ions are trapped inside the plasma membrane
Ions are negatively charged
Ions are moved against the concentration gradient
