What is the main characteristic of passive transport?
What is the main characteristic of passive transport?
- The movement is from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration
- It involves the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane
- It requires energy
- The movement of molecules is from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration (correct)
What happens when a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution?
What happens when a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution?
- The cell swells due to an influx of water
- Water moves from inside the cell into the solution, causing the cell to shrink (correct)
- Water moves equally in both directions and the cell remains the same size
- The solution has a lower concentration of solutes and a higher concentration of water than inside the cell
What is the result of osmosis?
What is the result of osmosis?
- Water moves from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
- The movement of particles down their concentration gradient
- The diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane (correct)
