Despite its name, the Pacific sea horse is actually a type of fish. Its horse-shaped head gives it its name. This creature lives in the Pacific waters off the west coast of the Americas, from Peru to Southern California. Like many other ocean fish, sea horses face the constant challenge of losing water to their saltier environment. When a Pacific sea horse’s body loses water to its environment, which process is responsible? endocytosis exocytosis active transport osmosis

Despite its name, the Pacific sea horse is actually a type of fish. Its horse-shaped head gives it its name. This creature lives in the Pacific waters off the west coast of the Americas, from Peru to Southern California.

When a Pacific sea horse's body loses water to its environment, which process is responsible? О Ехосytosis Endocytosis Facilitated diffusion Osmosis
Give the Similarities and Differences between the following terms. Make sure to give at least Two Differences: Terms Similarity Difference Endocytosis/Exocytosis Difference Terms Similarity Diffusion/Osmosis Difference Similarity Terms Pinocytosis/Phagocytosis
Match the transport process to the correct description or example. Endocytosis is: Group of answer choices transport of large macromolecules into a cell transport of glucose into a cell, against its concentration gradient transport of glucose out of cell, with its concentration gradient making a new covalent bond transport of a steroid hormone into a cell transport of signal molecules out of an endocrine cell breaking of a covalent bond to create new molecules transport of sodium out of a neuron
Distinguish between the following pairs of terms: a. diffusion; osmosis b. passive transport; active transport c. endocytosis; exocytosis
"Water molecules are small, but they are also polar. They usually cross the plasma membrane by this transport process" simple diffusion facilitated passive transport active transport endocytosis osmosis
Describe the term exocytosis.
Exocytosis Exocytosis (below) is an active transport process in which a secretory vesicle fuses with the plasma membrane and expels its contents into the extracellular space. In multicellular organisms, various types of cells (e.g. endocrine cells and nerve cells) are specialized to manufacture products, such as proteins, and then export them from the cell to elsewhere in the body or outside it. (DID YOU KNOW? The contents of the Exocytosis (and its counterpart endocytosis) require energy because they involve maverment of cytoskeletal proteins. vesicle are expelled into the extracellular space. Plasma membrane Vesicle fuses with the plasma membrane. Vesicle from the Golgi carrying molecules for export moves to the perimeter of the cell. From Golgi apparatus Nerve cell NT Golgi apparatus forming vesicles Nerve cell The transport of Golgi vesicles to the edge of the cell and their expulsion from the cell occurs through the activity of the cyloskeleton. This requires energy (ATP).…
TONICITY DRAG THE WORDS INTO THE BLANK SPACES BELOW TO ACCURATELY COMPLETE THE PARAGRAPH Hypotonic Osmosis water Swell Cell wall animal cell plant cell Facilitated Stay the same Hypertonic Diffusion Isotonic Shrink A Let's put both cells into Solution B. Because Solution B is hypertonic to the cytoplasms of the cells, we would expect water to the cells through the process of This would result in the cytoplasm of both cells shrinking. Now we'll put both the plant and the animal cell into Solution C, which, because it contains no solutes at all, is to the cytoplasm of both cells. will enter both cells through osmosis. The animal cell is likely to unfortunately. The plant cell, however, is protected from this because of the presence of its which is lacking in the animal cell.
Which statement best fits the following diagram? The purplish dots are sugar molecules and the blue areas are water molecules. On the left side the water molecwles have a concentration of 99.1% and on the right side the water molecules have concentration of 99.9%. 1) The level of fluid on the left will rise because water will move by osmosis through the membrane. 2) The level of the fluid on the left will fall as water moves to the right by osmosis. 3) The level of the water on the left will rise as a result of sugar molecules diffusing through the membrane. 4) The level of the water on the left will fall as sugar molecules diffuse through the membrane.
Link each process with the correct deﬁnition. RECEPTORMEDIATED ENDOCYTOSIS PHAGOCYTOSIS PINOCYTOSIS EXOCYTOSIS 1. A cell ingests a large particle, such as a bacterial cell. 2. Receptor proteins embedded in the membrane recognize specific surface characteristics of substances. 3. A transport vesicle inside the cell approaches the plasma membrane of the cell, fuses with it, and releases its contents to the outside of the cell. 4. A vesicle containing whatever molecules are in solution outside the cell bulges inward, pinches off, and enters the cell.
Match the transport process to the correct description or example. Exocytosis is: Group of answer choices transport of signal molecules out of an endocrine cell transport of a steroid hormone into a cell breaking of a covalent bond to create new molecules making a new covalent bond transport of glucose into a cell, against its concentration gradient transport of glucose out of cell, with its concentration gradient import of an entire bacterium into a white blood cell transport of sodium out of a neuron transport of large macromolecules into a cell
Compare and contrast pinocytosis with receptor-mediated endocytosis. Include a description of each process and then explain how they are similar and how they are different.
