Question

match the term with its correct description:
a. transport protein d. passive transport g. exocytosis
b. active transport e. osmosis h. homeostasis
c. diffusion f. endocytosis

1. the diffusion of water through a cell membrane
2. the movement of substances through the cell membrane without the use of cellular energy
3. type of protein used to help substances enter or exit the cell membrane
4. when energy is required to move materials through a cell membrane
5. when the molecules of one substance are spread evenly throughout another substance to become balanced
6. a vacuole membrane fuses (becomes a part of) the cell membrane and the contents are released out of the cell
7. the cell membrane forms around another substance, for example, how the amoeba gets its food by bringing the food in the cell
8. when molecules move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration

label the diagrams of cells using the following terms: diffusion, active transport, osmosis, facilitated diffusion, or equilibrium. use arrows show the direction of transport. you may use the terms more than once!

Explanation:

Matches are based on definitions of cell transport and homeostasis terms:

1. Osmosis is water diffusion across membranes.
2. Passive transport needs no cellular energy.
3. Transport proteins aid substance membrane passage.
4. Active transport requires cellular energy.
5. Homeostasis describes balanced substance distribution.
6. Exocytosis releases contents via vacuole-cell membrane fusion.
7. Endocytosis brings substances into the cell (e.g., amoeba feeding).
8. Diffusion is movement from high to low concentration.

Answer:

1. e. osmosis
2. d. passive transport
3. a. transport protein
4. b. active transport
5. h. homeostasis
6. g. exocytosis
7. f. endocytosis
8. c. diffusion
