What type of transport is this?

• Diffusion

• Osmosis

• Facilitated Diffusion

• Active Transport

____________ means a channel protein helps molecule that cannot directly cross the cell membrane enter or exit the cell.

• active transport

• facilitated diffusion

• facilitated cytosis

• simple diffusion

What are the two types of cell transport?

• Passive and Active

• Active and Facilitated

• Passive and Facilitated

• None of the above

Answer explanation

The two types of cell transport are Passive and Active. Passive transport does not require energy, while Active transport requires energy to move substances against their concentration gradient.

Label the following as Passive or Active transport.

a

b

Passive

Active

Which illustration of transport across the membrane requires energy?

• A

• B

• C

• D

Answer explanation

Transport across the membrane that requires energy is known as active transport. Choice D illustrates this process, as it involves moving substances against their concentration gradient, which necessitates energy input.

Which of the following is a characteristic of facilitated diffusion?

• It requires energy input from the cell.

• It involves the use of transport proteins.

• It moves substances against their concentration gradient.

• It only occurs in plant cells.

Which of the following is a type of passive transport?

• Endocytosis

• Osmosis

• Exocytosis

• Phagocytosis

How does the cell membrane maintain homeostasis within the cell?

• By producing energy for cellular processes

• By regulating the entry and exit of substances

• By storing genetic information

• By synthesizing proteins
