Back

Passive Transport and Active Transport

Front

What is the difference between passive transport and active transport?

Back

Passive transport does not require energy, while active transport requires energy to move substances against their concentration gradient.

Front

What is the role of proteins in the cell membrane?

Back

Proteins assist in transporting substances across the membrane and can act as receptors.

Front

What is the fluid mosaic model?

Back

A model that describes the structure of the cell membrane as a mosaic of various components (lipids, proteins, carbohydrates) that move fluidly.
