  11. Your answer:
    high, low
    low, high
    high, high

  13. Your answer:
    lipid
    cholesterol
    protein
    carbohydrate


  14. Because the cell membrane is selective about what it allows in and out of the cell, we say it is ____________________.
  15. Your answer:
    exclusively-permeable
    semi-permeable
    non permeable

  16. If a bag contains 2M sucrose solution and the outside environment contains the same amount of solution - 2 M, what happens to the solution (seen in last example).
  17. Your answer:
    sucrose will move out of bag and water will move into bag.
    there will be no net movement of particles because solutions are equal in concentrations.
    sucrose will move into bag and water will move out of bag.
    sucrose will move into bag and water will move into bag.

  19. Your answer:
    Nucleus
    Cell wall
    Mitochondria
    DNA



  20. Elodea is a common plant beginner scientists use to see chloroplasts. If Elodea is placed in a salt solution, what direction will water move to reach equilibrium?
  21. Your answer:
    Water will move into the Elodea cells to reach equilibrium
    There will be no net movement of water.
    Water will move out of the Elodea cells to reach equilibrium.
    Salt will move into cell but water won't move.
