Study Guide Questions: Metacognition

Practice your understanding by answering these questions.

4. Plant cells need a lot of water to keep their shape. They need to absorb that water and get it into their cells. Explain how a plant cell could make sure to absorb and keep a lot of water. Make sure to use the following vocabulary: active transport, ions, concentration gradient, osmosis, cell wall, cell membrane, pressure. ( You may be able to figure it out from the videos, but if not, we will go over this in class.)
