What is osmosis?
- A.
The movement of molecules through a semi-permeable membrane from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration
- B.
The movement of molecules such as water through a semi-permeable membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration
- C.
The movement of molecules across a semi-permeable membrane until there are equal amounts on each side of the membrane
- D.
Molecules desire to spread as far from a membrane as possible
Correct Answer
B. The movement of molecules such as water through a semi-permeable membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentrationExplanation
The correct answer is "The movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration" because diffusion is specifically trying to equalize the percentage, or concentration, of all substances in two areas. Therefore, molecules move from a higher concentration to a lower concentration to try to balance the two out.Rate this question:

Which of these molecules can NOT pass through a membrane to enter a cell?
- A.
Iodine
- B.
Glucose
- C.
Oxygen
- D.
Starch
Correct Answer
D. StarchExplanation
As we observed in the Diffusion Through a Membrane lab, starch cannot pass through a semi-permeable membrane. We know this because the solution surrounding the "cell" we constructed remained amber, instead of turning purple. Starch is too large a molecule to pass through the membrane of a cell.Rate this question:

Which of these does require energy?
- A.
Active Transport
- B.
Passive Transport
- C.
Osmosis
- D.
Gravity
Correct Answer
A. Active TransportExplanation
Active transport is the movement of molecules from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration. Because this defies the law of diffusion, it takes the proteins on the membrane energy to transport molecules across.Rate this question:

When a molecule enters a cell via the proteins on its membrane but the process doesn't use any ATP, it has undergone:
- A.
Adhesion
- B.
Osmosis
- C.
Active transport
- D.
Facilitated diffusion
Correct Answer
D. Facilitated diffusionExplanation
Facilitated diffusion is the transfer of molecules from a higher concentration to lower concentration (passive transport) through the proteins on the membrane. Molecules that enter through the proteins are often too large or ionic/polar to enter straight through the phospholipid bi-layer. These are also the only molecules which can undergo active transport.Rate this question:

A cell placed in a hypotonic solution will....
- A.
Swell due to taking in water
- B.
Shrivel due to water leaving
- C.
Remain unchanged, as it is isotonic
- D.
Not enough info given
Correct Answer
A. Swell due to taking in waterExplanation
When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solutes inside the cell is higher than that of the surrounding solution. As a result, water molecules move into the cell through osmosis, causing the cell to swell. This is because water moves from an area of lower solute concentration (the hypotonic solution) to an area of higher solute concentration (the cell). Therefore, the correct answer is "swell due to taking in water."Rate this question:

Osmosis occurs in
- A.
All cells; they all have cell membranes
- B.
Eukaryotic cells; only they have cell membranes
- C.
Prokaryotic cells; eukaryotic cells have more complex structures for importing materials
- D.
Prokaryotic cells; only they have cell membranes
Correct Answer
A. All cells; they all have cell membranesExplanation
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. Since all cells have cell membranes, they are all capable of undergoing osmosis. The cell membrane acts as a barrier that allows the passage of water molecules while regulating the movement of solutes in and out of the cell. Therefore, osmosis can occur in all cells because they all possess cell membranes.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. AtomExplanation
An atom is the smallest unit of matter that retains the properties of an element. It consists of a nucleus, which contains protons and neutrons, and electrons that orbit the nucleus. Elements are made up of atoms, and atoms combine to form molecules. Electrons are subatomic particles found within atoms, but they are not the smallest unit of matter. Therefore, the correct answer is atom.Rate this question:

An _______ bond is a bond in which electrons are transferred between a metal and nonmetal.
- A.
Covalent
- B.
Ionic
- C.

Correct Answer
B. IonicExplanation
An ionic bond is a bond in which electrons are transferred between a metal and nonmetal. In an ionic bond, one atom donates electrons to another atom, resulting in the formation of positively charged cations and negatively charged anions. This transfer of electrons creates a strong electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions, forming a stable bond.Rate this question:

- A.
3
- B.
2
- C.
1
- D.

The water molecule is _________, because there is an uneven distribution of electron within the molecule.
- A.
Uneven
- B.
Weird
- C.
Polar
- D.
Strange
Correct Answer
C. PolarExplanation
The water molecule is polar because there is an uneven distribution of electrons within the molecule. This is due to the oxygen atom being more electronegative than the hydrogen atoms, causing the oxygen to pull the shared electrons closer to itself. As a result, the oxygen atom has a partial negative charge, while the hydrogen atoms have partial positive charges. This polarity gives water its unique properties, such as its ability to form hydrogen bonds and its high surface tension.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
D. Atomic massExplanation
The atomic mass of an element is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. It is a measure of the mass of an atom and is usually expressed in atomic mass units (amu). The number of protons determines the element's identity, while the number of neutrons can vary, resulting in different isotopes of the same element. Therefore, the atomic mass provides information about the composition of the nucleus and helps in identifying and distinguishing different elements.Rate this question:

If a lipid is a solid at room temperature, you would predict
- A.
All lipids are solids at room temperature
- B.
The lipid is saturated
- C.
The lipid is unsaturated
- D.
There is not enough information
Correct Answer
B. The lipid is saturatedExplanation
If a lipid is a solid at room temperature, it indicates that the lipid is saturated. Saturated lipids have only single bonds between carbon atoms, which allows them to pack tightly together and form a solid structure. Unsaturated lipids, on the other hand, have at least one double bond between carbon atoms, which introduces a kink in the molecule and prevents tight packing, resulting in a liquid state at room temperature. Therefore, based on the given information, it can be predicted that the lipid is saturated.Rate this question:
