Substances that have a hydrophilic moiety:
1. have to be transported across the plasma membrane by active transport
2. can diffuse across the plasma membrane at a slower rate, if larger in size
3. do not need a concentration gradient to diffuse across the plasma membrane
4. need to be facilitated even along the concentration gradient

Facilitated diffusion allows cells to:
1. achieve uphill transport without ATP energy
2. select substances for uptake
3. stop transport of hydrophilic substances
4. decrease the rate of diffusion of lipophilic substances

Consider the following statements:

I.  Pure water is usually defined as having a solute potential (Ψπ)of zero.
II.  A solution will have a lower and hence more negative water potential than that of pure water.
III.  The more solute molecules present, the more negative the solute potential is.


Correct statements are:
1. I and II
2. I and III
3. II and III
4. I, II and III

Consider the following statements regarding water potential:
I. Water potential is the potential energy of water relative to pure free water (e.g., deionized water)
in reference conditions.
II. Typically, pure water at standard temperature and pressure (or other suitable reference condition) is defined as having a water potential of 0.
III. The addition of solutes to water increases its potential (makes it more negative), just as the increase in pressure lowers its potential (makes it more positive).
The correct statements are:

1. I, II and III 2. I and II
3. I and III 4. II and III
