Questions and Answers

Which type of protein is involved in the passive movement of molecules across the cell membrane via the aid of a membrane protein?

  • Enzymatic proteins
  • Receptor proteins
  • Channel proteins (correct)
  • Carrier proteins

Which of the following statements is true about osmosis?

  • Osmosis occurs when there is an imbalance of solutes outside of a cell versus inside the cell. (correct)
  • Osmosis is the movement of solutes across a semi-permeable membrane.
  • Osmosis occurs when there is an equal concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell.
  • Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration of water.

What happens to cells in a hypertonic solution?

  • Cells in a hypertonic solution will burst.
  • Cells in a hypertonic solution will shrink as water leaves the cell. (correct)
  • Cells in a hypertonic solution will remain the same size.
  • Cells in a hypertonic solution will take on too much water and swell.
