OSMOSIS STUDY GUIDE


Complete the following statements:

1. What does the prefix “iso” mean? _Equal/the same_____ (Hint: Use the prefix/suffix reference list on page 1074-1075)

2. What does the prefix “hyper” mean? ___Over, above, beyond______

3. What does the prefix “hypo” mean? _____Low, under, beneath____

4. What does the suffix “tonic” mean? (Hint: You will need to research this piece) _____Tension____

5. __Hyper___tonic means there is a GREATER concentration of solute moleculesOUTSIDE the cell than inside.

6. ____Hypo____ tonic means there is a LOWER concentration of solute moleculesOUTSIDE the cell than inside.

7. _Iso__tonic means there is the SAME concentration of solute moleculesoutside the cell as inside.

8. The pressure inside a plant cell caused by water pushing against the cell wall is called

____Turgor___ pressure.

9. Water ___enters___ cells placed in a HYPOTONIC solution.

enters or leaves (Circle ONE)

____Animal____ cells can SWELL AND BURST, but plant cells have a____cell__ ___walls____ to keep them from bursting.

Placing plant cells in a HYPOTONIC solution causes the osmoticpressure to

increase or decrease (Circle ONE)

Plant and animal cells stay the same size when placed in an _iso__tonic solution because the amount of water leaving the cell is the same and the amount of water entering.

Placing plant cells in a HYPERTONIC solution causes the osmotic pressure to increase decreaseand the cell membrane will pull away from the cell wall.


Animal cells will SHRINK when placed in a
_hyper__tonic solution.

Cell Transport Systems

1. Active transport requires _E______to move molecules across membranes. Energy

2. _A_ __ __ is the molecule that provides the energy for active transport. ATP

3. Golgi bodies use _E______to release molecules outside the
cell. Exocytosis

4. _D______moves oxygen and carbon dioxide molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration across membranes. Diffusion

5. The cell organelles that burn glucose and provides ATP for active transport are the

_M______, Mitochondria

6. Aquaporins, ion channels, and carrier proteins are all kinds of
_F______D______. Facilitated diffusion

7. A small membrane sac used to transport substances during exocytosis & endocytosis

= _V______Vesicles

8. Kind of endocytosis that takes in small dissolved molecules (solutes) or fluids

= _P______Pinocytosis

9. _P______transport does NOT REQUIRE energy. Passive

10. _A______are membrane proteins that create a passageway across cell membranes for water molecules during _O______. Aquaporins, Osmosis

11. H+ ions are actively moved across cell membranes using _P______pumps. Proton

12. A cell placed in an _I______solution doesn’t swellor shrink because the concentration of molecules outside the cell is the same as inside. Isotonic

13. A solution in which there is a HIGHER concentration of molecules OUTSIDE the cell than inside
= _H______. Hypertonic

14. A CONCENTRATION _G______forms whenever there is a difference in concentration between one place and another. Gradient

15.Pinocytosis, phagocytosis, and Na+-K+ pumps, and proton pumps are all kinds of _A______transport because they use energy to move substances across membranes. Active

16. A solution in which the concentration of molecules outside the cell is LOWER than inside

= _H______. Hypotonic

17. A _S______-_P______P______uses energy from ATP to move three Na+ ions out of a cell while it moves two K+ ions in. Sodium-Potassium Pump

18. Pinocytosis & phagocytosis are both kinds of _E______. Endocytosis

19. When molecules move from high to low along a concentration gradient we say they are moving

“_D______” the concentration gradient. Down

20. _O______pressure is caused by water inside a plant cell pushing against the cell wall. Osmotic

21. White blood cells use _P______to engulf and destroy bacteria that the glycoproteins recognize as “not self”. Phagocytosis

22. When you make Kool-aid the water is the _S______and the Kool-aid powder is the
_S______. Solvent, Solute

23. Ca++, Na+, and K+ move across membranes by going through passageways called
_I______C______. Ion Channels

24. Cell membranes that allow certain molecules to pass through while keeping others out are called

_S______P______. Selectively Permeable
