The Case of the Burst Cell
Before the debrief: three questions
Same concepts as your pre-check, new questions.
A freshwater fish cell sits in fresh water, which has far less salt than the cell. What happens?
Water enters the cell
Salt enters the cell
Water leaves the cell
Nothing moves
A cell moves calcium from inside, where there's little, to outside, where there's lots. What kind of transport is this?
Facilitated diffusion
Simple diffusion
Active transport, using ATP
Osmosis
Na+ is tiny. Why can't it cross the bilayer on its own?
Sodium is toxic to the cell
It is too large
It's charged, and the middle of the bilayer is oily
The membrane has no holes
