cell transport review worksheet
name:
match the term with its correct description:
a. energy
b. facilitated diffusion
c. endocytosis
d. passive transport
e. active transport
f. exocytosis
g. carrier protein
h. channel protein
causes a cell to shrink
causes osmosis
doesnt change the shape of a cell
causes a cell to swell
isotonic solution
hypotonic solution
hypertonic solution
complete the table by checking the correct column for each statement:

Explanation:

1. Isotonic solution: In an isotonic solution, the solute - solvent concentration is the same inside and outside the cell. So, it doesn't change the shape of a cell and doesn't cause osmosis in the sense of net water movement in or out of the cell.
2. Hypotonic solution: A hypotonic solution has a lower solute concentration outside the cell compared to inside. Water moves into the cell by osmosis, causing the cell to swell.
3. Hypertonic solution: A hypertonic solution has a higher solute concentration outside the cell than inside. Water moves out of the cell by osmosis, causing the cell to shrink.

Answer:

Statement	Isotonic solution	Hypotonic solution	Hypertonic solution
Causes osmosis		X	X
Doesn't change the shape of a cell	X
Causes a cell to swell		X
