Question 2

A red blood cell is placed in a solution and swells until it bursts. What type of solution is the cell in?

Accepted Answer

Hypotonic

Question 3

Which of the following processes requires energy input from the cell and moves substances against their concentration gradient?

Accepted Answer

Active transport

Question 4

What is the main structural component of the plasma membrane?

Accepted Answer

Question 5

Which organelle is found in plant cells but not in animal cells and is responsible for photosynthesis?

Accepted Answer

Chloroplast

Question 6

A cell is placed in a hypertonic solution. What will happen to the cell?

It will shrink as water leaves the cell.

Question 7

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

Accepted Answer

Osmosis

Question 8

Which cellular structure is responsible for protein synthesis?

Accepted Answer

Ribosome

Question 9

Which of the following best describes facilitated diffusion?

Movement of molecules through a membrane protein down their concentration gradient without energy input

Question 10

A scientist observes a cell with no nucleus and no membrane-bound organelles. What type of cell is this?

Accepted Answer

Prokaryote

Question 11

Which organelle contains digestive enzymes and is involved in breaking down waste within the cell?

Accepted Answer

Lysosome

Question 12

Which process involves the cell engulfing large particles or liquids by forming vesicles from the plasma membrane?

Accepted Answer

Endocytosis

Question 13

Which of the following is true about the cytoskeleton?

Accepted Answer

It provides structural support and helps in cell movement.

Question 14

Which equation best represents the net movement of molecules during simple diffusion?

Accepted Answer

$$J = -D \frac{dC}{dx}$$

Question 15

A cell uses energy to move sodium ions out and potassium ions in, both against their concentration gradients. Which equation represents the energy required for this active transport?

Accepted Answer

$$\Delta G = RT \ln \frac{[C]_{final}}{[C]_{initial}} + zF\Delta \Psi$$

Question 16

Which of the following statements about osmosis is correct?

Accepted Answer

Osmosis moves water from low solute concentration to high solute concentration.

Question 17

Which structure is responsible for packaging and transporting proteins within the cell?

Accepted Answer

Vesicle

Question 18

Which of the following best describes the difference between passive and active transport?

Accepted Answer

Passive transport moves substances down their concentration gradient without energy input, while active transport moves substances against their gradient using energy.

Question 19

Which of the following is a function of the nucleus in eukaryotic cells?

Accepted Answer

Storage and protection of genetic material

Question 20

A hospital patient receives an intravenous solution that is isotonic to their blood cells. What effect will this have on the cells?

Accepted Answer

Cells will remain unchanged.
