a)

cell membrane

b)

organelles

c)

cell wall

d)

nucleus

2.

What is the difference between active and passive transport?

a)

Passive transport does not use the cell's energy, Active uses the cells energy.

Passive transport involves water. Active transport involves proteins.

c)

Passive transport is for large substances. Active transport is for small substances.

d)

Active transport moves things from high to low concentration. Passive moves things from low to high concentration.
