Osmosis Review
Below are animal cells placed in beakers of various concentrations. Fill in any missing information
and draw arrows to indicate the direction of water movement. Also label the tonicity of the cell.
Assume that the cells in the beakers below are permeable only to water.

13. A patient has had a serious accident and lost a lot of blood. In an attempt to replenish body fluids,
distilled waterequal to the volume of blood lostis transferred directly into one of his veins. What will
be the most probable result of this transfusion?
A) It will have no unfavorable effect as long as the water is free of viruses and bacteria.
B) The patient's red blood cells will shrivel up because the blood fluid has become hypotonic
compared to the cells.
C) The patient's red blood cells will swell because the blood fluid has become hypotonic
compared to the cells.
D) The patient's red blood cells will shrivel up because the blood fluid has become hypertonic
compared to the cells.
E) The patient's red blood cells will burst because the blood fluid has become hypertonic
compared to the cells.
14. A cell was poisoned by a substance that destroyed all of its mitochondria. Circle all of the cell
e. Pinocytosis
f. Phagocytosis
15. (Use the diagram below) As diffusion occurs, what would happen (increase/decrease) to
the concentration of substance A :
a. Inside the plant cell ________decrease_____
b. Outside the plant cell ______increase________

16. (In the diagram above) When would substance A stop diffusing?
Never, it would reach equilibrium and have no net movement of water
17. What would happen to a plant cell in each of the following solutions?
a. Hypertonic: The cell would plasmolyze because the water molecules would leave the
cell
b. Hypotonic: The cell would become turgid because the water molecules would enter
the cell
c. Isotonic: The cell would become flaccid because the water molecules would have no
net movement
18. What would happen to an animal cell in each of the following solutions?
a. Hypertonic: The cell would shrink/shrivel because the water molecules would leave
the cell
b. Hypotonic: The cell would swell & lyse because the water molecules would enter the
cell
c. Isotonic: The cell would reach equilibrium because the water molecules would enter
and leave with no net movement
19. Complete the following sentences:
a. A plant deprived of water will wilt because of a loss in turgur pressure.
b. The ability of a cell membrane to permit some substances to enter the cell and keep
others out is known as semi-permeable
20. If you are stranded on the ocean, why should you NOT drink salt water (a hypertonic solution)?
Give your answer in terms of what you learned about cell transport.
21. Create a concept map using all of the following terms: Passive Transport, Active Transport, ATP
required, No ATP, facilitated diffusion, simple diffusion, aquaporins, high to low, low to high,
osmosis, isotonic, hypertonic, hypotonic, turgid, flaccid, plasmolysis, channel proteins,
electrogenic pumps, carrier proteins, sodium-potassium pump, proton pump, cotransport,
endocytosis, exocytosis, phagocytosis, pinocytosis, osmoregulation,
