A human cell placed into a hypertonic solution is likely to:

Diffusion and osmosis are examples of which type of cellular transport?

What happens to a plant cell when it is placed in a salt water (hypertonic) solution?

Which of the following would result in no change in osmotic pressure across a semipermeable membrane?

If a plant cell loses water at the same rate that it takes in water, what type of solution is it in?

Which of the following best describes osmosis as a special kind of diffusion?

What type of solution allows water to enter the plant cell through osmosis?

The majority of water is reabsorbed by osmosis in the:

During osmosis across a capillary wall, if the blood has a higher solute concentration than the surrounding matrix, which way will free water molecules move?

What is most likely to happen to celery stalks that are immersed in fresh water?

Which type of solution would most likely cause a plant cell placed in it to become firmer and more rigid?

Which process describes the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration?
