The process by which substances pass through the cell membrane without expending energy is called:
- A.
Endocytosis
- B.
Passive transport
- C.
Active transport
- D.
Phagocytosis
Correct Answer
B. Passive transportExplanation
Passive transport is the correct answer because it refers to the process by which substances move across the cell membrane without the need for energy expenditure. Unlike active transport, which requires energy, passive transport relies on the concentration gradient to allow molecules to move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. This can occur through diffusion, osmosis, or facilitated diffusion. Endocytosis and phagocytosis, on the other hand, involve the engulfing of substances by the cell membrane and require energy, making them active transport processes.Rate this question:

Which of the following will pass through a cell membrane most easily?
- A.
small polar molecules
- B.
Small nonpolar molecules
- C.
Large polar molecules
- D.
Large nonpolar molecules
- E.
Large neutral molecules
Correct Answer
B. Small nonpolar moleculesExplanation
Small nonpolar molecules will pass through a cell membrane most easily because the cell membrane is primarily composed of a lipid bilayer, which is impermeable to polar molecules due to its hydrophobic nature. Nonpolar molecules, on the other hand, can dissolve in the lipid bilayer and pass through it via simple diffusion. Additionally, their small size allows them to easily navigate through the membrane's hydrophobic core. Large polar molecules, large nonpolar molecules, and large neutral molecules would face more difficulty passing through the membrane due to their size and/or polarity.Rate this question:

A red blood cell placed in a hypertonic medium will
- A.
Expand.
- B.
Burst.
- C.
Shrink.
- D.
Have no change in shape.
- E.
Become a white blood cell.
Correct Answer
C. Shrink.Explanation
When a red blood cell is placed in a hypertonic medium, the concentration of solutes outside the cell is higher than inside the cell. As a result, water from inside the cell moves out to the surrounding medium through osmosis, causing the cell to lose water and shrink. This is because water moves from an area of lower solute concentration (inside the cell) to an area of higher solute concentration (outside the cell) in order to equalize the concentration on both sides. Therefore, the correct answer is shrink.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Both the water and the solute will pass through the membrane in both directions until equilibrium is reached on both sides of the membrane for both water and the solute. Afterwards, both with move but there will be no net movement from one side to the other.Explanation
When a membrane is permeable to both a solute and water, the solute and water molecules will move through the membrane in both directions until equilibrium is reached on both sides. This means that the concentration of solute and water will be the same on both sides of the membrane. After equilibrium is reached, there will still be movement of both solute and water, but there will be no net movement from one side to the other. This is because the concentrations are equal, so there is no driving force for further movement.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. -16.1Explanation
The equation -iCRT is used to calculate the solute potential. In this equation, i represents the ionization constant, C represents the molar concentration of the solute, R represents the ideal gas constant, and T represents the temperature in Kelvin. In this question, the sucrose concentration is given as 0.7 M and the temperature is 3 degrees Celsius. To convert the temperature to Kelvin, we add 273 to it, giving us 276 K. Since sucrose does not ionize, the ionization constant (i) is 1. Plugging these values into the equation, we get -1 * 1 * 0.7 * 0.0831 * 276 = -16.1. Therefore, the solute potential is -16.1.Rate this question:
