DIRECTIONS: Read Chapter 5, Homeostasis and Transport, and Answer the questions below as completely and as thoroughly as possible. Answer the question in essay form (not outline form), using complete sentences. You may use diagrams to supplement your answers, but a diagram alone without appropriate discussion is inadequate.
1. Name and Describe Three types of passive transport AND Three types of active transport.
2. How do ions cross the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane?
3. Toward what condition does diffusion eventually lead, in the absence of other influences?
4. Explain the difference between pinocytosis and phagocytosis.
5. What is the fundamental difference between carrier proteins that participate in facilitated diffusion and carrier proteins that function as pumps.
6. Explain the difference between passive transport and active transport.
7. Describe what would happen to the molecules in a drop of ink dropped into a beaker of water. What is this process called?
8. What would happen to a freshwater unicellular organism if its contractile vacuole stopped functioning? Explain your answer.
9. How is osmosis related to diffusion?
10. Contrast endocytosis with exocytosis.
11. Define a hypotonic, hypertonic and isotonic solution.
12. Describe the action of the sodium-potassium pump.
13. Three red blood cells are placed in hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic solutions. Compare the behavior of the three cells. Explain your answer on the basis of concentration gradients, diffusion, and give the name of the effects.
