The smooth ER…

A. makes proteins, ribosomes, and amino acids

B. makes energy, sugar, and ATP

C. makes lipids, carbohydrates, and hormones

D. makes DNA, RNA, and cellulose


During simple diffusion…

A. solutes do not cross the membrane

B. the cell uses energy to push solutes across a membrane

C. solutes move through protein channels

D. solutes move from areas of high solute concentration to areas of low solute concentration


How is the mitochondria different from the chloroplast?

A. The mitochondria has its own DNA while the chloroplast doesn’t

B. The mitochondria converts sugars to ATP while the chloroplast stores solar energy in sugars

C. The mitochondria is in the cytoplasm while the chloroplast is in the nucleus

D. Only plant cells have chloroplasts and only animal cells have mitochondria


Because the phosphate head of a phospholipid is polar, it…

A. is hydrophobic

B. is hydrophilic

C. is repelled by water

D. dissolves in water


At equilibrium…

D. all of the above


You put a cheek cell in a highly concentrated sugar solution. What should happen to the cheek cell?

A. It should swell – the solution outside is hypotonic.

B. It should swell – the solution outside is hypertonic.

C. It should shrink – the solution outside is hypertonic.

D. It should swell – the solution outside is isotonic.


Why do solutes move through protein channels in facilitated diffusion?

A. The solutes are too big or too polar to cross the membrane alone.

B. The solutes are moving from low concentration to high concentration.

C. No molecules can pass straight through the membrane.

D. The solutes have reached equilibrium.

Why does active transport require energy?

A. It’s moving large materials in or out of the cell.

B. It’s pushing solutes into areas that already have a high concentration of solutes.

C. A & B
