In animal cells, the sodium-potassium pump moves sodium and potassium ions against a concentration gradient across the cell membrane. What type of transport is used, AND why is this type of transport necessary?
Active transport; it is necessary to move ions against their concentration gradient.
Passive transport; it is necessary to move ions along their concentration gradient.
Facilitated diffusion; it is necessary to move ions through a channel protein.
Osmosis; it is necessary to balance water concentration.

Which statements best describe the difference between active transport and passive transport?
Active transport occurs only in cells that require large amounts of energy. Passive transport occurs in all cells.
Active transport requires ATP. Passive transport does not require ATP.
Active transport moves substances along the concentration gradient. Passive transport moves substances against the concentration gradient.
Active transport occurs in all cells. Passive transport requires ATP.

A diagram of removing glucose from the blood by a fat cell is shown.
Which statement best describes the role of insulin and glucose-transport proteins in this process?
They stimulate a response from white blood cells during glucose entry into the cell.
They keep the plasma membrane flexible when glucose is removed from the blood.
They help to maintain stable glucose levels both inside and outside the cell.
They utilize the excess energy the cell produces to create more glucose.

Which statement describes the process of osmosis in an animal cell?
Sugar molecules move across the plasma membrane until the cell has enough energy to grow in size and divide.
Water molecules move across the plasma membrane until solute concentrations are equal on both sides of the membrane.
Ions move across the plasma membrane until the inside of the cell has a higher concentration of positive charges.
Enzymes move across the plasma membrane until the cell has completed metabolism.

A type of cellular transport is shown. Which description best identifies this type of cellular transport?
Active transport, because energy is being used to move molecules against the concentration gradient
Facilitated diffusion, because energy is being used to move molecules with the concentration gradient
Osmosis, because energy is not being used to move molecules with the concentration gradient
Endocytosis, because energy is not being used to move molecules against the concentration gradient
