Grade 7 FA2

This biology formative assessment tests students' understanding of different types of transport - diffusion, osmosis, and active transport. It consists of 4 sections: 1) Students identify which statements are true for each type of transport by ticking boxes. 2) Multiple choice questions test understanding of the key differences between osmosis and diffusion, solutions, cell structures involved in transport, and characteristics of hypertonic solutions. 3) True/false statements require justification about the movement of water in osmosis and the nature of active transport. 4) Diagram experiments show osmometers and students predict where liquid levels will be after osmosis occurs in different solutions.

Biology – Formative Assessment

(__ / 15)
Name: Date:
Grade: 7 Section: Duration: 40 Min

1. Which type(s) of transport is each statement true for? Add ticks to the correct boxes. (5 points)

Diffusion Osmosis Active Transport


A substance moves from an area of low
concentration to an area of high concentration.
Can happen in living cells.

A substance moves and becomes more evenly


spread out.

The movement does not use energy and is caused


.
by the random movement of individual particles.

The movement requires energy from respiration.

Only water is involved in this type of movement.


Water moves from a less concentrated solution to
a more concentrated solution.

2. Multiple Choice: Choose the correct answer (1 point each)

a. What is the primary difference between osmosis and diffusion?


a) Osmosis involves the movement of water molecules; diffusion involves the movement
of particles.
b) Osmosis occurs in plants; diffusion occurs in animals.
c) Osmosis requires energy; diffusion does not require energy.
d) Osmosis moves particles from high to low concentration; diffusion moves particles
from low to high concentration.
b. Which term describes a solution where the concentration of solutes is higher outside the
cell compared to inside the cell?
a) Hypotonic
b) Hypertonic
c) Isotonic
d) Osmotic

c. Which organelle in a cell is primarily responsible for regulating the movement of materials
in and out of the cell?
a) Mitochondria
b) Golgi apparatus
c) Cell membrane
d) Ribosomes
d. How are osmosis and diffusion similar?
a) Both require energy
b) Both involve the movement of particles
c) Both move particles against the concentration gradient
d) Both occur only in plant cells
e. Which statement correctly describes a hypertonic solution?
a) It has a lower solute concentration compared to another solution.
b) It causes a cell to swell and potentially burst.
c) Water moves into the solution.
d) It has a higher solute concentration compared to another solution.

3. True or False: Answer by true or false (1 point each)

a. True or False: Osmosis always involves the movement of water from a hypotonic solution
to a hypertonic solution. Discuss.

b. True or False: Active transport is a type of passive process similar to diffusion. Discuss.

c. True or False: Diffusion can occur in gases, liquids, and solids. Justify your response.

4. The experiments below show visking osmometers, which are used to measure osmosis. Visking
tubes are partially permeable. (2 points)

The experiments below all involve different solutions. They were left for a day. The water level at the
start of the day is shown. Mark on each diagram where you think the liquid levels will be after one
day.
