Cell Transport Worksheet

This document contains a cell transport worksheet with questions about examples of diffusion and osmosis. The student is asked to identify whether each example involves diffusion or osmosis and to indicate the direction of movement in diagrams. It also contains questions about the transport of sugar into and out of cells and why a saltwater fish would not survive in a freshwater aquarium due to osmosis. Finally, it asks the student to identify whether diagrams depict endocytosis or exocytosis and whether the processes require energy or are active or passive transport.

CELL TRANSPORT WORKSHEET

How are the molecules moving in the examples below? Write if it is OSMOSIS or DIFFUSION.

1. The student sitting next to you just came from gym class and forgot to shower and you can tell. Diffusion
2. After sitting in the bathtub for hours, your fingers start to look like prunes. Osmosis
3. The girl sitting two rows ahead of you put on too much perfume this morning._
4. One way to get rid of slugs in your garden is to sprinkle salt on them, so they shrivel up._
5. Yum! Something smells good. The neighbors are cooking on the grill! Diffusion
6. Gargling with salt water when you have a sore throat causes your swollen throat cells to shrink and feel
better._Osmosis
7. Oxygen molecules move from the air sacs in the lungs across the cell membranes into the blood. Diffusion
8.

Use arrows to indicate the direction of diffusion in each case below:

For each of the situations below use an arrow to indicate the net movement of sugar into or out of the cell. (Assume
that the sugar molecules can pass through the cell membrane in each case.)

You have just bought a tropical fish for your freshwater (no salt) aquarium. Unfortunately, you do not realize it is a
saltwater fish, which is isotonic to salty water environments. Using your knowledge of osmosis, explain why this fish
will not survive in your aquarium.

Saltwater fish can't survive the aquarium because their bodies are highly concentrated of salt solution so the water
would flow into their body until all their cells accumulate so much water that they bloat and die eventually.

Use the pictures on the left to answer the questions on the right.

A.

An amoeba engulfs a particle of food.


1. Does this require energy? Yes
2. Is this active or passive transport? Active
Transport
3. Is this endocytosis or exocytosis?
Endocytosis

B.
An amoeba expels waste.
1. Does this require energy?
Yes
4. Is this active or passive transport?Active
Transport
2. Is this endocytosis or exocytosis?
Exocytosis
