How do molecules and ions naturally move across a membrane?

From an area of high concentration to low concentration

From an area of low concentration to high concentration

Only with the help of transport proteins

Which two components are necessary for active transport to occur?

ATP energy and transport proteins

Why is active transport compared to swimming upstream or pumping water uphill?

Because it moves substances against their natural flow and requires energy.

Because it involves water molecules.

Because it only happens in aquatic environments.

Which of the following best describes the main difference between simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion?

Facilitated diffusion uses transport proteins, while simple diffusion does not.

Simple diffusion requires energy, while facilitated diffusion does not.

Simple diffusion only moves water molecules, while facilitated diffusion moves all types of molecules.

Facilitated diffusion moves molecules from low to high concentration, while simple diffusion moves from high to low.

Which of the following best describes osmosis?

The movement of water across a cell membrane from high to low concentration

The movement of glucose across a cell membrane

The movement of ions using energy

The movement of oxygen from low to high concentration

Solution in which there is less solute outside of the cell (less water outside). Cell loses water.

Solution in which there is LESS solute outside of the cell (more water outside). Cell gains water and may burst if it doesn't have a cell wall.

Solution in which both inside and outside of the cell have the same concentrations of water/solute.

Match the following forms of active transport.

moving large materials i nto the cell from low to high

moving large materials out the cell from low to high

moving ions across the cell membrane in opposite directions

What is the main difference between simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion in passive transport?

Facilitated diffusion uses transport proteins, while simple diffusion does not.

Simple diffusion requires energy, while facilitated diffusion does not.

Simple diffusion only moves water molecules, while facilitated diffusion moves all types of molecules.

Facilitated diffusion moves molecules against the concentration gradient, while simple diffusion does not.
