three diagrams with h₂o arrows
Question 5
Step1: Recall transport types
Passive transport (diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis) moves substances down concentration gradients without energy. Active transport (protein pumps, endo/exocytosis) requires energy (ATP) to move substances against gradients.
Step2: Classify each transport
- Diffusion: Passive (moves down gradient, no energy).
- Facilitated Diffusion: Passive (uses proteins, still down gradient, no energy).
- Protein Pump: Active (uses ATP to move against gradient).
- Osmosis: Passive (water diffusion, down gradient, no energy).
- Endo/exocytosis: Active (uses energy to move large molecules/particles).
Step1: Identify cell structures
Plant cells have cell walls, chloroplasts, large central vacuoles. Animal cells lack these, have centrioles (not always visible).
Step2: Analyze left diagram
Left cell: Has cell wall (rigid outer layer), chloroplasts (oval organelles), large central vacuole → Plant cell.
Step3: Analyze right diagram
Right cell: No cell wall, irregular shape, no chloroplasts → Animal cell.
Step1: Recall tonicity definitions
- Hypertonic: External solution has higher solute concentration (water leaves cell).
- Hypotonic: External solution has lower solute concentration (water enters cell).
- Isotonic: Equal solute concentration (water moves equally in/out).
Step2: Analyze each diagram
- Left diagram: More water leaving cell (arrows out) → Hypertonic (cell loses water, shrinks).
- Middle diagram: More water entering cell (arrow in is larger) → Hypotonic (cell gains water, swells).
- Right diagram: Equal water movement (arrows in/out equal) → Isotonic (cell size stable).
