Step-by-step solution for: Cell Transport Review Worksheet | PDF | Osmosis | Cell Membrane
Let's go through the Cell Transport Review Worksheet step by step and solve each section with explanations.
---
We are given a table with three types of solutions: Isotonic, Hypotonic, and Hypertonic, and statements about their effects on cells.
#### Definitions:
- Isotonic solution: Equal solute concentration inside and outside the cell → no net movement of water.
- Hypotonic solution: Lower solute concentration outside the cell → water enters the cell → cell swells.
- Hypertonic solution: Higher solute concentration outside the cell → water leaves the cell → cell shrinks.
Now, evaluate each statement:
| Statement | Isotonic | Hypotonic | Hypertonic |
|---------|----------|-----------|------------|
| Causes a cell to swell | ✘ | ✔ | ✘ |
| Doesn't change the shape of a cell | ✔ | ✘ | ✘ |
| Causes osmosis | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ |
| Causes a cell to shrink | ✘ | ✘ | ✔ |
✔ Explanation:
- Swelling occurs in hypotonic solutions (water enters).
- No shape change happens in isotonic (balance).
- Osmosis happens in all solutions — it’s the movement of water across a membrane due to concentration differences.
- Shrinking occurs in hypertonic solutions (water leaves).
So the corrected table should be:
| Statement | Isotonic | Hypotonic | Hypertonic |
|---------|----------|-----------|------------|
| Causes a cell to swell | | ✔ | |
| Doesn't change the shape of a cell | ✔ | | |
| Causes osmosis | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ |
| Causes a cell to shrink | | | ✔ |
> Note: The original worksheet already has some Xs marked. Let’s assume they were meant to be checkmarks. The ones shown seem mostly correct, but "Causes osmosis" should have ✔ in all three columns.

Terms:
a. energy
b. facilitated diffusion
c. endocytosis
d. passive transport
e. active transport
f. exocytosis
g. carrier protein
h. channel protein
Now match:
1. ___h___ Transport protein that provides a tube-like opening in the plasma membrane through which particles can diffuse
→ Channel protein (h) – forms pores for ions/molecules to pass through.
2. ___a___ Is used during active transport but not passive transport
→ Energy (a) – active transport requires energy (ATP), passive does not.
3. ___c___ Process by which a cell takes in material by forming a vacuole around it
→ Endocytosis (c) – engulfing materials into vesicles.
4. ___d___ Particle movement from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration
→ Passive transport (d) – moves down concentration gradient without energy.
5. ___f___ Process by which a cell expels wastes from a vacuole
→ Exocytosis (f) – vesicle fuses with membrane to release contents.
6. ___b___ A form of passive transport that uses transport proteins
→ Facilitated diffusion (b) – passive, uses proteins (carrier or channel).
7. ___e___ Particle movement from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration
→ Active transport (e) – against gradient, needs energy.
8. ___g___ Transport protein that changes shape when a particle binds with it
→ Carrier protein (g) – undergoes conformational change to move molecules.
✔ All matches are correct as provided.

Terms:
a. transport protein
b. active transport
c. diffusion
d. passive transport
e. osmosis
f. endocytosis
g. exocytosis
h. equilibrium
Now match:
1. ___e___ The diffusion of water through a cell membrane
→ Osmosis (e) – specifically water movement.
2. ___d___ The movement of substances through the cell membrane without the use of cellular energy
→ Passive transport (d) – no ATP needed.
3. ___a___ Used to help substances enter or exit the cell membrane
→ Transport protein (a) – like channels or carriers.
4. ___b___ When energy is required to move materials through a cell membrane
→ Active transport (b) – needs ATP.
5. ___h___ When the molecules of one substance are spread evenly throughout another substance to become balanced
→ Equilibrium (h) – equal distribution.
6. ___g___ A vacuole membrane fuses (becomes a part of) the cell membrane and the contents are released
→ Exocytosis (g) – vesicle releases contents outside.
✔ All matches are correct.

- This worksheet reviews key concepts in cell transport: osmosis, tonicity, passive vs. active transport, and bulk transport (endocytosis/exocytosis).
- Remember:
- Passive transport = no energy, down gradient (diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis).
- Active transport = energy required, against gradient.
- Endocytosis = bring in; exocytosis = push out.
