To control the movement of substances into and out of the cell.

To generate ATP for cellular processes.

To provide rigid structural support to the cell.

How are phospholipids arranged in the cell membrane's bilayer structure?

The hydrophobic tails face each other in the interior of the membrane.

The hydrophilic heads face inward, away from water.

The hydrophobic tails face the watery environments outside and inside the cell.

Solvent moves from the isotonic to the hypertonic solution.

Solvent moves from the hypertonic to the hypotonic solution.

What is a key characteristic of facilitated diffusion?

It utilizes transport proteins to move molecules.

It moves molecules against their concentration gradient.

It is used for very small, non-polar molecules.
