Same concepts as your pre-check, new questions.
A freshwater fish cell sits in fresh water, which has far less solute than the cell. What happens?
Water leaves the cell
Salt enters the cell
Nothing moves
Water enters the cell
A cell moves calcium ions from a low concentration inside to a higher one outside. This is…
Osmosis
Simple diffusion
Facilitated diffusion
Active transport, using ATP
Why can't Na+ cross the bilayer on its own even though it is tiny?
It is too large
It is charged, and the lipid interior is nonpolar
The membrane has no holes
Sodium is toxic to the cell
