    The document provides answers to questions about concentration gradients, facilitated diffusion, osmosis, and transport proteins. It defines a concentration gradient as the difference in concentration between locations and explains that molecules diffuse down their gradient by moving from high to low concentration. Facilitated diffusion does not require energy because the molecules move down their concentration gradient. A cell losing water through its membrane would be in a hypertonic solution. Receptors and transport proteins are both proteins that may change shape to perform their functions.

    4 Formative Assessment Answers

    1. Explain what a concentration gradient is and what it means for a molecule to diffuse down
    its concentration gradient.
    A concentration gradient is the difference in concentration of a substance from one location to
    another. A molecule diffuses down its concentration gradient by moving from a region of higher
    concentration to a region of lower concentration.

    2. Explain why facilitated diffusion does not require energy?


    Because the molecules move down their concentration gradient.

    3. A cell is bathed in fluid. However, you notice that water is flowing out of the cell. In what
    kind of solution is the cell immersed?
    Hypertonic

    4. How are receptors and transport proteins similar?


    Both are proteins and may require change of shape to accomplish their functions.

    5. Label the type of solution each red blood cell is in.


    Insert arrows on each cell to show the direction of osmosis.

    Isotonic Solution Hypertonic Solution Hypotonic Solution
