What type of transport does not require energy and moves particles along their concentration gradient?

Back

Passive Transport

Front

What is the term for the diffusion of solutes across a membrane?

Back

Front

What is the role of the cell membrane in cellular transport?

Back

It acts as a barrier and selectively allows substances to enter or exit the cell.

Front

What is the difference between facilitated diffusion and simple diffusion?

Back

Facilitated diffusion requires specific transport proteins, while simple diffusion does not.

Front

What is the significance of the concentration gradient in cellular transport?

Back

It drives the movement of particles from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration.
