How do transport proteins move substances across membranes?

• They move inside the membrane, carrying the substance
• They change shape
• They rip open a temporary hole in the membrane
• They increase the concentration gradient inside the cell

What is the difference between active and passive transport?

• Active involves oxygen and water; passive transport does not.

• Active occurs only in nerve cells; transport occurs in all cells.

• Active moves molecules across cell membranes; passive does not.

• Active transport requires energy; passive transport does not.
