Particles move from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration

b)

Particles move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration

10.

What keeps cells from growing too large?

a)

If a cell gets too large, there is not enough energy available for passive transport.

b)

If a cell gets too large, there is not enough energy available for active transport

c)

If the surface-area-to-volume ratio is too small, not enough nutrients can move across the membrane.

diffusion
b)
osmosis
c)
facilitated diffusion
d)
pumping
13.
What is the job of a channel protein?
a)
strengthen the outer boundary of the cell

15.

Why are there more red dye particles in the right side of the membrane after 30 minutes?

a)

The membrane allowed active transport to take place.

b)

The membrane is not like the cell membrane, so the dye can get through.

c)

Only dye particles could move through the membrane.

d)

Some of the dye molecules diffused through the membrane.
