10 Questions
Why are cells typically small in size?
To maximize surface area for efficient nutrient exchange
Which organelle is responsible for distinguishing plant cells from animal cells?
Chloroplasts
What is the main function of the cell membrane?
Regulate what enters and exits the cell
Which type of transport requires energy input in the form of ATP?
Active transport
What is the primary difference between simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion?
Facilitated diffusion requires carrier proteins
What is the role of probability in reaching equilibrium in diffusion?
Affects the likelihood of molecules reaching equilibrium
How does osmosis differ from diffusion?
Osmosis involves movement of solute molecules, while diffusion involves movement of solvent molecules.
What happens to plant cells in a hypotonic solution?
They swell due to water gain
Why is it important to differentiate between amount and concentration in osmosis?
Amount is an absolute value, while concentration is relative
In which direction does water move in a hypertonic solution compared to a hypotonic solution?
Water moves out of the cell in hypertonic and into the cell in hypotonic
