Cell Membrane Chapter - Biology 9 - SBHS
January 18' (77) Molecules A and B are commonly found in plant cells. When tested, it was discovered that molecule A quickly passed through the artificial plant cell membrane. Molecule B did not pass through. - State one way the two molecules could differ that would explain in their ability to pass through the artificial plant cell membrane.
(Answer could be written differently) Molecule A is smaller than molecule B, making it able to pass through the cell. B is a larger molecule making it not able to pass through the membrane.
What does hypertonic solution do to the cell?
1. Dehydrates the cell. 2. Water molecules move out of the cell. 3. The cell shrinks. 4. The cell membrane pulls away from the cell wall. {plasmolysis} [plant cells only]
What does hypotonic solution do to the cell?
1. Osmosis occurs, water molecules move into the cell. 2. The cell expands. 3. Then the cell membrane pushes against the cell wall [plant cell only] 4. Making the cells firm again.

Create a cell - What happened to the starch in the "cell"? Why?
The starch in the cell stood inside of the cell because of it's larger molecule size.
June 17' (83) A student added glucose indicator to a beaker to an unknown liquid. Starch indicator was added to a different beaker containing an equal amount of the same unknown liquid.

Support your answer with information from the data table.
The student can conclude that the unknown liquid is a starch based, since the indicator changed the liquid to blue-black after heating in beaker two. (answer wording may vary)

Their overall movement is equal in both directions.
A biologist diluted a blood sample with distilled water. While observing the sample with a microscope, she noted that the red blood cells had burst. This is most likely the result of which process? pg. 9 (25)
This is the result of diffusion.
Active transport
This type of movement uses cellular energy {ATP} to force materials to go across the cell membrane.
Why does passive transport occur across the cell membrane?
To maintain dynamic equilibrium.
August 17' (75) The diagram represents a laboratory experiment involving sucrose and water molecules in a cellophane bag which functions, in the same way as dialysis tubing. - Which statement correctly explains the rise of liquid in the tube at the end of the experiment?
Water entered the bag due to the lower concentration of water inside. The extra water pushed the liquid up the tube as the bag filed.
What is dynamic equilibrium?
When there is an equal amount of molecules on either side of the cell membrane.
