Question

match the sentences to the diagrams to describe how the molecules will move by passive transport. assume the volume on either side of the membrane is the same. there will be a net movement of carbon dioxide molecules out of the cell. there will be no net movement of carbon dioxide molecules between the inside and outside of the cell. there will be a net movement of carbon dioxide molecules into the cell.

Explanation:

In passive transport, molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. When there are more carbon - dioxide molecules inside the cell than outside, there is a net movement out of the cell. When concentrations are equal, there is no net movement. When there are more carbon - dioxide molecules outside the cell than inside, there is a net movement into the cell.

Answer:

1. The diagram with more purple dots (representing carbon - dioxide molecules) inside the cell corresponds to "There will be a net movement of carbon dioxide molecules out of the cell."
2. The diagram with an equal number of purple dots inside and outside the cell corresponds to "There will be no net movement of carbon dioxide molecules between the inside and outside of the cell."
3. The diagram with more purple dots outside the cell corresponds to "There will be a net movement of carbon dioxide molecules into the cell."
