Chapter 3 Exchanging Materials in the Environment
The experiment setup shows a solution with differing concentrations of solute separated by a selectively permeable membrane. The membrane is permeable to solute but not the water. (true or false)
False
Two forms of Exocytosis and Phagocytosis and Pinocytosis. (true or false)
False
Water, carbon dioxide, oxygen, and some other substances can pass through the cell. (true or false)
False
Diffusion occurs because... a. Molecules are attached to one another b. Molecules constantly move and collide with each other c. cellular energy forces molecules to collide with each other. d. cellular energy pumps molecules across the cell membrane
Molecules constantly move and collide with each other
A cell membrane must be selectively permeable so that the cell can exert some level of control over which types of molecules can pass through the membrane. (true or false)
True
A cell's relatively constant internal physical and chemical conditions are called homeostasis. (true or false)
True
A wilted plant suggests that too much water has left the plant. (true or false)
True
An organism is a protected compartment in the sense that whether it is made of a single cell or many cells, each cell is completely surrounded by a protective membrane. (true or false)
True
At equilibrium, Side A will have less water than Side B and the concentration of solute molecules will be equal on either side of the selectively permeable membrane. (true or false)
True
Both are forms of active transport of large molecules carried out by movements of the cell membrane. Endocytosis involves taking materials into the cell, whereas exocytosis involves moving materials out of the cell. (true or false)
True
Cell membranes must control the exchange of nutrients, waste water, and communication signals. (true or false)
True
During Phagocytosis, extensions of cytoplasm surround a particle and package it within a food vacuole. The cell engulfs it and requires a considerable amount of energy. (true or false)
True
During Pinocytosis, tiny pockets form along the cell membrane and fill with liquid that pinches off to form vacuoles within the cell. (true or false)
True
Facilitated diffusion involves the movement of molecules across a membrane through protein channels. The molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Facilitated diffusion does not require additional energy. Active transport is the movement of particles across the cell membrane using energy. Molecules can move from an area of low concentration to an area of higher concentration in active transport. Osmosis is an example of facilitated diffusion. (true or false)
True
If an animal cell with an internal salt concentration of 0.8% is placed in a salt solution with a concentration of 0.2%, the cell would swell and burst because the 0.2% salt solution is hypotonic with respect to the cell, causing a net movement of water into the cell. (true or false)
True
If you add a teaspoon of sugar to a cup of coffee, and the sugar molecules disperse themselves throughout the hot coffee. Diffusion has occurred; because diffusion is the movement of a substance from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. (true or false)
True
In a Hypertonic Environment, the cells crenate/shrink due to the high solute concentration and low water molecule concentration. (true or false)
True
In a Hypotonic Environment, the cells swell/lyse due to the high water molecule concentration and low solute concentration. (true or false)
True
In an Isotonic Environment, the concentration of solutes in the solution is equal to the concentration of collates inside the cell. (true or false)
True
In the lipid bilayer cell membrane, the fatty tails non-polar and hydrophobic (water fearing). (true or false)
True
In the lipid bilayer cell membrane, the phosphate head is polar and hydrophilic (water loving). (true or false)
True
Large molecules, such as glucose, that cannot cross the lipid bilayer can still move across the membrane through a type of passive transport called facilitated diffusion. (true or false)
True
Once equilibrium is reached in the apparatus shown in Figure 7-10, the water molecules will continue to move across the membrane; however; there will not be a new movement from one side to the other. (true or false)
True
Once the equilibrium is reached, roughly equal numbers of molecules move in either direction across the semipermeable membrane, and there is no further change in concentration on either side of the membrane. (true or false)
True
Polar molecules are prevented from passing through the membrane unaided while nonpolar molecules can move more freely. (true or false)
True
The cell takes in food and water and eliminates wastes through its selectively permeable cell membrane. (true or false)
True
The cell would die because needed nutrients, such as food and water could not get inside the cell and wastes would accumulate inside the cell. (true or false)
True
The difference in lines A and B in the graph in Figure 7-12 could be because the lab group (line A) might have used a moe concentrated solution of sucrose or a membrane with a different permeability. (true or false)
True
The membrane is permeable to water so water can cross the membrane in both directions. Over time, there will be a new movement of water toward Side B, which has a higher concentration of solute particles. (true or false)
True
The solution on Side A has fewer solute particles than the solution on Side B. Both solutions have the same amount of water, so the solution on Side A is hypotonic compared to the solution on Side B. (true or false)
True
When a normal red blood cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, one that has a higher solute concentration than inside the cel, there is a net movement of water out of the cell. The cell will shrink due to osmotic pressure. (true or false)
True
line A shows that the single groups result are quite different from the results of the rest of the class. Over a half-hour period, the lab group found that the solution traveled 25 mm, whereas the rest of the class found a distance of only 12 mm over the same period of time. The distance traveled in the lab group's data also kept increasing, where as the class' data leveled out at about 10 minutes. (true or false)

Continue to move across the membrane in both directions
A raisin placed in a cup of pure water overnight will puff up with water. The concentration of water in the cup is lower than the concentration of water in the raisin, water will flow out of the raisin and into the cup. (true or false)
False
Active transport is the transport of molecules down their concentration gradient and is accomplished without the input energy. (true or false)
False
During Endocytosis, a membrane of the cackle surrounding the material fuses with the cell membrane and forces the contents out of the cell. (true or false)
False
Molecules of larger size often can diffuse freely across the cell membrane. (true or false)
