Question

match the definition on the left with the term on the right.

1. — large wastes or cell products are released from inside to outside a cell
2. — diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane.
3. — the transport of particles which requires the use of energy
4. — a state reached when particles continue to move but in equal amounts in and out of the cell.
5. — large particles are surrounded by the membrane and taken into the cell.
6. — movement of any particles from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration, with the concentration gradient.
7. — the transport of particles which does not require energy

a. passive transport
b. diffusion
c. dynamic equilibrium
d. exocytosis
e. osmosis
f. active transport
g. endocytosis

Explanation:

1. Exocytosis is the process where large wastes or cell products are released from inside to outside a cell.
2. Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane.
3. Active transport is the transport of particles which requires the use of energy.
4. Dynamic equilibrium is a state reached when particles continue to move but in equal amounts in and out of the cell.
5. Endocytosis is when large particles are surrounded by the membrane and taken into the cell.
6. Diffusion is the movement of any particles from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration, with the concentration gradient.
7. Passive transport is the transport of particles which does not require energy.

Answer:

1. d. Exocytosis
2. e. Osmosis
3. f. Active transport
4. c. Dynamic equilibrium
5. g. Endocytosis
6. b. Diffusion
7. a. Passive transport
