Test: Osmosis - Year 11 MCQ

Water dissolves nutrients in the soil for uptake by roots.

Water directly transports nutrients through the xylem.

Water is the medium in which nutrients travel through the phloem.

Water aids in nutrient absorption through root hairs.

To transport nutrients across the cell membrane.

To balance the concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell.

To remove excess salts from the cell.

To increase the temperature inside the cell.

From an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration.

From an area of low water concentration to an area of high water concentration.

From an area of high solute concentration to an area of low solute concentration.

From an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.

By dissolving waste products in the bloodstream.

By transporting waste products to the kidneys.

By facilitating the removal of urea and excess salts through urine.

By breaking down waste products into simpler substances.

The cell swells and becomes turgid.

The cell remains unchanged.

The cell shrinks as water moves out.

The cell bursts due to water influx.

It allows all molecules to pass freely.

It selectively permits the passage of certain molecules while blocking others.

It is impermeable to all substances.

It only allows water to pass through.

Diffusion

Active transport

Osmosis

Filtration

The cells become crenated.

The cells burst due to excessive water intake.

The cells become rigid and support the cell structure.

The cells remain unaffected.

By actively transporting nutrients through the root cell membranes.

By dissolving nutrients in the soil for easier uptake.

By creating a pressure gradient that helps nutrients enter root cells.

By facilitating the breakdown of nutrients into simpler forms.

The cell would efficiently regulate its internal solute concentration.

The cell would fail to maintain proper turgidity and nutrient transport.

The cell would experience rapid nutrient absorption.

The cell would rapidly eliminate all waste products.
