Understanding Osmosis in Cell Membranes
This quiz explores the concept of osmosis in cell membranes, focusing on the movement of water into outermost cells of roots by osmosis and its implications on cell sap. It covers topics such as active transport, diffusion, pressure in cell contents, and the role of water movement in maintaining the water/salt balance in organisms. The quiz challenges understanding and knowledge of cellular processes related to water and solute movement across membranes.

Movement of molecules against a concentration gradient using energy Active transport Substances can be allowed or prevented in or out Movement of molecules against a concentration gradient using energy Substances can be allowed or prevented in or out Active transport Movement of molecules from area of high concentration to area of lower concentration Movement of molecules from area of high concentration to Allowing some substances to pass through Support Allowing some substances to pass through Support Movement of water along a concentration gradient through a selectively permeable membrane area of lower concentration Vacuole; Cell wall; Cell sap Bacteria lose water by osmosis, this leads to inactivity or death Movement of water along a concentration gradient through a selectively permeable membrane Vacuole; Cell wall; Cell sap Bacteria lose water by osmosis, this leads to inactivity or death No energy (ATP) required Chloroplast; Mitochondrion; Nucleus; Vacuole Visking tubing No energy (ATP) required Chloroplast; Mitochondrion; Nucleus; Vacuole Visking tubing Controlling the water/salt balance within an organism Osmosis Water movement between cells or from soil to root Controlling the water/salt balance within an organism Water movement between cells or from soil to root Osmosis Diffusion; Osmosis; Active transport Water; Sugar; Sap; Salt(s); Protein Oxygen; Glucose; Water; Amino acids; Phosphate; Iron Diffusion; Osmosis; Active transport Water; Sugar; Sap; Salt(s); Protein Oxygen; Glucose; Water; Amino acids; Phosphate; Iron Pressure of cell contents on cell wall FALSE TRUE Wilting Pressure of cell contents on cell wall FALSE TRUE Wilting Lower water concentration; Higher solute concentration Root hairs Xylem Lower water concentration; Higher solute concentration Root hairs Xylem
