Cell Transport Study Guide Name:___________________________ Period:_________ Date:__________

1. All organisms have basic needs including nutrients and water as well as removing wastes. How does the cell
membrane allow the cell to transport these materials into and out of the cell? Selectively permeable allow it to
MAINTAIN HOMEOSTASIS

2. Complete the following chart comparing the various methods of cell transport.

Uses ATP - Transport


Transport Active or
Energy Direction
Method Passive
(Yes or No)
Passive Transport ------------------ No High to Low
Diffusion (gas) Passive No High to Low

Osmosis (water) Passive No High to Low


Active ----------------- Yes Low to High
Transport
Endocytosis Active Yes Low to High
Exocytosis Active Yes Low to High

3. What material diffuses across the cell membrane during osmosis? _________water_____________

4. Draw a diagram showing how the containers will look after 5 minutes when the two containers are in a state of
homeostasis. Explain your answer including a description of homeostasis. Picture should show equal
amount water on each side and equal amount of molasses (sugar) on each side. Homeostasis is maintained
the cell wants to reach “dynamic equilibrium” which means it want to be balanced or “equally distributed”

5. A human blood cell (1%) solute is placed in salt water (5%) solute.
Which means there is a (99% water on inside of cell, 95% of water in the salt water solution.
a. Where is the water more concentrated? (circle one) - inside or outside
b. Which direction will the water move? (circle one) - into or out of the cell
c. What effect will this have on the cell? ________Shrink________
6. Look at the cross section of a cell membrane of a eukaryotic cell. H+ ions are being pumped from a low
concentration to a high concentration. How do you describe this type of transport across the cell membrane?

a. active transport
b. passive transport
c. facilitated diffusion
d. co-transport

7. Look at the diagram of a cross-section of a cell membrane below. The cell membrane controls movement of
materials into and out of the cell. The following particles are moving from high concentration to low
concentration and are using a carrier protein. How would you describe this type of movement across the
membrane?

a. simple osmosis
b. active transport
c. simple diffusion
d. facilitated diffusion

8. A human blood cell (1%) solute is placed in distilled water (0%) solute. Which means the cell has 99% water
and the distilled water is 100% water solution.
a. Where is the water more concentrated? (circle one) - inside or outside
b. Which direction will the water move? (circle one) - into or out of the cell
c. What effect will this have on the cell? ____________Swell____

9. Identify the type of cell transport involved in each of the following descriptions. Use the key provided to
indicate your answers.

A. active transport B. diffusion


C. exocytosis D. passive transport
E. osmosis F. endocytosis

F A white blood cell engulfs (swallows) a harmful bacterium.
E Drinking sea water causes the loss of water from cells lining the stomach and intestines.
10. Sally took the notes shown below while learning about cells. She forgot to write the name of the cell structure

18. The following diagram shows a cell that Dimitri saw on his microscope slide.

Dimitri’s teacher gave him an unlabeled slide of some cells and


asked him to identify whether the cells were plant cells or
animal cells. Dimitri examined the slide under a microscope and
concluded that the cells were plant cells. How did Dimitri reach
his conclusion? Cell has a rectangular shape, cell has a large
central vacuole, and cell has chloroplasts Is his conclusion
correct? yes What life process can these cells carry out that a
cell from another kind of multicellular organism cannot?
Photosynthesis
