b. facilitated diffusion f. exocytosis
c. endocytosis g. carrier protein
d. passive transport h. channel protein

___H____ Transport protein that provides a tube-like opening in the plasma membrane through
which particles can diffuse
___A____ Is used during active transport but not passive transport
___C____ Process by which a cell takes in material by forming a vacuole around it
___D____ Particle movement from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration
___F____ Process by which a cell expels wastes from a vacuole
___B____ A form of passive transport that uses transport proteins
___E____ Particle movement from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration
___G____ Transport protein that changes shape when a particle binds with it

Match the term with its correct description:


a. transport protein d. passive transport g. exocytosis
b. active transport e. osmosis h. equilibrium
c. diffusion f. endocytosis

__E__ The diffusion of water through a cell membrane


__C__ The movement of substances through the cell membrane without the use of cellular energy
__A__ Used to help substances enter or exit the cell membrane
__B__ When energy is required to move materials through a cell membrane
__H__ When the molecules of one substance are spread evenly throughout another substance to
become balanced
__G__ A vacuole membrane fuses (becomes a part of) the cell membrane and the contents are
released
__F__ The cell membrane forms around another substance, for example, how the amoeba gets its
food
__D__ 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, equilibrium.
The arrows show the direction of transport. You may use the terms more than once!
Diffusion Osmosis Facilitated

osmosis facilitated osmosis

Osmosis Practice Activity

Osmosis is the diffusion of water from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
Only water moves in osmosis! The diagrams below show the concentration of water and salt inside
the cell and the concentration of water and salt surrounding the cell. Complete the sentences below
by comparing the concentration of the water inside the cell and the concentration outside the cell.
