What is facilitated diffusion?
How does active transport differ from passive transport?
Organelles: Complete the following table by writing the name of the cell part or organelle in the right
hand column that matches the structure/function in the left hand column. A cell part may be used more
than once.
Structure/Function
1. Stores material within the cell
2. The sites of protein synthesis
3. Transports materials within the cell
4. The region inside the cell except for the nucleus
5. Organelle that manages or controls all the cell functions in a
eukaryotic cell
6. Contains chlorophyll, a green pigment that traps energy from sunlight
and gives plants their green color
7. Digests excess or worn-out cell parts, food particles and invading
viruses or bacteria
8. Small bumps located on portions of the endoplasmic reticulum
9. Firm, protective structure that gives the cell its shape in plants, fungi,
most bacteria and some protists
10. Produces a usable form of energy for the cell
11. Packages proteins for transport out of the cell
12. Site where ribosomes are made
13. The membrane surrounding the cell
14. Name for the collection of DNA in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells
15. Consist of hollow tubes which provide support for the cell
16. Composed of a phospholipid bilayer
17. Storage for nutrients and water in plant cells
How does exocytosis differ from endocytosis?
Cell Part
An investigation was set up to
study the movement of water through a membrane. The results are shown in the diagram. Based on these
results, which statement correctly predicts what will happen to red blood cells when they are placed in a
beaker containing a water solution in which the salt concentration is much higher than the salt
concentration in the red blood cells?
a. The red blood cells will absorb water and increase in size.
b. The red blood cells will lose water and decrease in size.
c. The red blood cells will first absorb water, then lose water and maintain their normal size.
d. The red blood cells will first lose water, then absorb water, and finally double in size.
For beakers 1-9, the particle size of the solute is able to diffuse through the semi-permeable membrane.
Indicate in the table below, in which direction the solute and water will move (into the bag, out of the
bag, no net movement).
