Students investigate osmosis using dialysis tubing. Dialysis tubing is a semipermeable membrane that allows water molecules to pass through while preventing salt ions from passing through. The students follow this procedure:
  1. Mix salt into water to make a 7.1% salt solution.
  2. Add equal amounts of this saltwater solution to four small bags made of dialysis tubing.
  3. Fill four beakers with different salt solutions, as shown in the image.
  4. Place each small bag into one of the four beakers.
  5. Observe changes in the size of the bags.
The setup for the investigation is shown.

All Cells (4 items)
The diagram below represents a cell of a green plant.

Solar energy is used to produce energy-rich compounds in which structure?
A (nucleus)
B (cell membrane)
C (central vacuole)
D (chloroplast)
Generally speaking, how do the vacuoles of plant cells differ from those of animal cells?
They are much larger in plant cells, and smaller in animal cells.
They are the site of protein synthesis in plant cells, but are the site of lipid synthesis in animal cells.
They are enclosed by a membrane in plant cells, but are not enclosed in animal cells.
They are rarely used in plant cells, but are used continuously in animal cells.
Muscle cells are responsible for obtaining energy so the body can perform voluntary and involuntary movements. Using your knowledge about organelles and muscles, how would a muscle cell be different from other types of animal cells?
The muscle cell would have larger centrioles than other types of animal cells.
The muscle cell would have more mitochondria than other types of animal cells.
The muscle cell would have larger Golgi apparatus than other types of animal cells.
The muscle cell would have more endoplasmic reticulum than other types of animal cells
Tay-Sachs is a disease that occurs when lipids accumulate in cells. The lipid accumulation occurs because of the inability of the cell to break down lipids due to the lack of function of the organelle responsible for intracellular digestion. Which organelle is defective in Tay-Sachs disease?
Golgi apparatus
Lysosome
Mitochondria
Ribosome
Correctly match the organelle with its function.
vacuole
protein synthesis
chloroplast
genetic information (DNA) storage
nucleus
stores food, water and waste in the cell
ribosome
solar energy conversion
Which of the following is a fluid or gel-like substance that surrounds the organelles?
Vacuole
Cytoplasm
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Vesicle
The nucleus, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi bodies (apparatus), and vesicles are all involved in what process?
Cell transport
Supporting the cell
Making and processing lipids
Making and processing proteins
Which macromolecule is the main component of cell membranes?
Carbohydrate
Lipid
Nucleic acid
Protein

In the illustration, where would you most likely find water molecules?

The dispersal of food coloring in a breaker of water is an example of
Deposition
Diffusion
Active transport
Endocytosis
Molecules and ions are constantly being moved across cell membranes. A student was asked to determine if an illustration shows active or passive transport of potassium (K+) and sodium (Na+).

Which statement is the best description of the transport occurring in the illustration?
Passive transport is occurring only for sodium.
Active transport is occurring only for potassium.
Active transport is occurring for both potassium and sodium.
Passive transport is occurring for both potassium and sodium.

The above diagram shows the process of osmosis. Only the water molecules could pass the membrane in the center of the beaker because water molecules _________________________.
have more energy than the carbohydrate (purple) molecules.
are smaller than the carbohydrate (purple) molecules
are more numerous than the carbohydrate (purple) molecules.
contain more hydrogen atoms than the carbohydrate (purple) molecules.
Examine the data table.
Select two statements that support the data and explain the movement of molecules across the cell membranes.
The potatoes in the 0.025 g/mL solution increased in mass as water molecules moved into the potato cells.
As the NaCl concentration decreased, the mass of the potato increased as water molecules moved out of the potato cells.
The potatoes in the 0.050 g/mL solution lost the greatest amount of mass as water molecules moved out of the potato cells
As the NaCl concentration increased, the mass of the potato increased as more NaCl moved into the potato cells.
The potatoes in the 0.00 g/mL solution increased in mass as water molecules moved into the potato cells.
Question 22
22.

A cell membrane is composed of a double layer of lipids in which many kinds of proteins are embedded. Many of these proteins act like gates, allowing only certain particles to enter or leave the cell.
(click the image to enlarge)

When a particle has to go against its concentration gradient through one of these gates, energy is supplied by the cell to the correct protein to move the particle through the membrane. A sodium-potassium ion pump is an example of a type of carrier protein that uses a large portion of the cell’s energy to move sodium ions through the cell membrane.
