Diffusion is a passive transport.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Diffusion is a passive transport process because it does not require the input of energy. It occurs when particles move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, down the concentration gradient. This movement of particles happens spontaneously, driven by the random motion of molecules. Therefore, diffusion is considered a passive process as it does not require the use of cellular energy or any external force to occur.Rate this question:

- 7.
Diffusion and ___________ is an example of passive transport.
Correct Answer
osmosisExplanation
Diffusion and osmosis are both examples of passive transport, which means that they do not require energy input from the cell. Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, while osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. Both processes occur spontaneously and help maintain the balance of solutes and water in cells and organisms.Rate this question:
- 8.
Osmosis is possible with the presence of a semi-permeable membrane.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Osmosis is a process where solvent molecules move from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. The semi-permeable membrane allows the passage of solvent molecules but restricts the movement of solute molecules. Therefore, the presence of a semi-permeable membrane is necessary for osmosis to occur. Hence, the statement "Osmosis is possible with the presence of a semi-permeable membrane" is true.Rate this question:

The concetration of a 100mL solution with 40 g of solute is 60%
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The concentration of a solution is typically expressed as the amount of solute dissolved in a given amount of solvent. In this case, the concentration is given as 60%, which means that 60 g of solute is dissolved in 100 mL of solution. However, the question states that there is only 40 g of solute in the 100 mL solution, which is less than the 60 g required for a 60% concentration. Therefore, the correct answer is false.Rate this question:
-
- 10.
Passive transport is a mechanism of cellular transport wherein substances move against the concetration gradient.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
Passive transport is actually a mechanism of cellular transport wherein substances move along the concentration gradient, not against it. In passive transport, substances move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration without the need for energy input. This can occur through processes such as diffusion or facilitated diffusion. Therefore, the correct answer is false.Rate this question:

What is the amount of solute present in a 1 liter solution? The concentration of the solution is 10%.
- A.
10g
- B.
100g
- C.
10,000g
- D.
1,000g
- E.
0.1g
Correct Answer
B. 100gExplanation
The concentration of the solution is given as 10%. This means that for every 100g of the solution, there are 10g of solute. Since the volume of the solution is 1 liter, the amount of solute present in the solution would be 10% of 1000g, which is equal to 100g.Rate this question:

- 12.
Hypertonic solutions contain higher amount of solutes.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Hypertonic solutions have a higher concentration of solutes compared to the surrounding environment. This causes water to move out of the cells through osmosis, resulting in cell shrinkage. Therefore, the statement that hypertonic solutions contain a higher amount of solutes is true.Rate this question:
-
- 13.
Which of the following best describes an isotonic solution?
- A.
Solutions of equal concentration of solutes
- B.
Solutions of with higher concentration of solutes
- C.
Solutions of with lower concentration of solutes
- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
A. Solutions of equal concentration of solutesExplanation
An isotonic solution refers to a solution that has an equal concentration of solutes compared to another solution. In other words, it has the same osmotic pressure as the solution it is being compared to. This means that there is no net movement of water across a semipermeable membrane when the two solutions are separated by it. Isotonic solutions are commonly used in medical settings, such as in intravenous fluids, to ensure that there is no disruption in the balance of fluids and electrolytes in the body.Rate this question:

Pinocytosis is also described as "CELL EATING"?
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
Pinocytosis is a form of endocytosis where the cell engulfs extracellular fluid and small particles dissolved in it. It is often referred to as "cell drinking" rather than "cell eating". This is because pinocytosis involves the uptake of liquid or dissolved substances, rather than solid particles. Therefore, the statement that pinocytosis is described as "cell eating" is false.Rate this question:

Adding salt to food can cause removal of water in the cytoplasm of microorganism.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
When salt is added to food, it creates a hypertonic environment, meaning that the concentration of solutes outside the microorganism is higher than inside. This causes water to move out of the microorganism through osmosis, leading to dehydration and ultimately inhibiting the growth and survival of the microorganism. Therefore, adding salt to food can indeed cause the removal of water in the cytoplasm of microorganisms.Rate this question:

Amphipatic means containing both hydrophobic and isotonic regions.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The statement that "Amphipatic means containing both hydrophobic and isotonic regions" is incorrect. Amphipathic refers to a molecule or compound that has both hydrophobic (nonpolar) and hydrophilic (polar) regions. Isotonic, on the other hand, refers to a solution that has the same concentration of solutes as another solution. These terms are not interchangeable, and amphipathic does not involve isotonic regions. Therefore, the correct answer is false.Rate this question:
