From B2.1b Membrane transport, 10 questions.

All 10 questions and answers

  1. The net movement of particles from an area of high concentration to low concentration?

    Answer: Diffusion

  2. Passive transport using channel or carrier proteins to move polar/large molecules?

    Answer: Facilitated diffusion

  3. The passive movement of water across a membrane from low to high solute concentration?

    Answer: Osmosis

  4. Specialized channel proteins that allow for the rapid movement of water molecules?

    Answer: Aquaporins

  5. The movement of substances against a concentration gradient using energy (ATP)?

    Answer: Active transport

  6. A solution with a higher solute concentration than the cell (causes cell shrinkage)?

    Answer: Hypertonic

  7. A solution with a lower solute concentration than the cell (causes cell swelling)?

    Answer: Hypotonic

  8. A solution with an equal solute concentration compared to the cell?

    Answer: Isotonic

  9. Membrane protein forming a hydrophilic pore through which specific ions diffuse?

    Answer: Channel protein

  10. Membrane protein that uses ATP to move ions against their concentration gradient?

    Answer: Pump protein

Play it as a class game

Play this set opens it in splycr, where you can host it for your class straight away. Hosting needs no account: put the room code on the projector, and students join from a phone with the code and their first name. Each question plays as multiple choice, and the three wrong options are other answers from the same set.
