- Which type of transport below moves water through a selectively-permeable membrane from areas of greater concentration to areas of lesser concentration?
ADiffusion
BFacilitated
COsmosis
DChain-Reactive
- Diffusion occurs to ultimately reach _______ or an even distribution of molecules throughout a given space (remember the yellow dye in water?)
AEquilibrium
BInstability
CHigh concentration
DLow concentration
- Water movement into and out of a cell is dependent upon the ___________ surrounding the cell.
ATemperature
BEnvironment
CNumber of lipid molecules
DTotal number of phospholipid molecules in the cell membrane
- Which comparison of osmosis and diffusion is accurate?
AOsmosis moves molecules, diffusion moves water
BDiffusion moves across a selectively-permeable membrane, osmosis does not involve a membrane
CBoth move molecules up a concentration gradient
DOsmosis moves water down a concentration gradient, diffusion moves molecules down a concentration gradient
