6. Until equilibrium is reached, will water move into or out of the cell? If no, state why it won't move; if yes, state why it will move and which direction it will move (into or out of the cell). 

7. What would the movement of water be called (whether it occurs in this situation or not)?

8. List all of the terms from this list that accurately describe the movement of Cl- across the membrane as described in question #5, above. Select from the following: 

passive transport         simple diffusion        facilitated diffusion      active transport      osmosis

9. Now let's change our thinking; suppose, in the picture as it exists above, the grey balls represent Na+ ions (rather than O₂ molecules or Cl- ions). Suppose the cell is moving the Na+ ions OUT of the cell. Select all terms from the list below that would accurately describe this movement of Na+.

passive transport         simple diffusion        facilitated diffusion      active transport      osmosis

10. What KEY difference is there in the solute movement you described in #9, when compared to all other movement that was described in this set of questions?

The image above is a small section of plasma membrane. Assume that the small grey balls on either side of the membrane are solutes (ignore the one small grey ball in the middle of the membrane). The water molecules are NOT shown, but assume this is an aqueous solution both inside and outside the cell, as we would find in a living cell.
