1.

Which of the following cellular transport methods is NOT a form of active transport?

a)

endocytosis

b)

exocytosis

c)

facilitated diffusion

d)

sodium-potassium pump

2.

How do antibodies prevent a virus, such as Covid-19, from entering a cell?

a)

Antibodies engulf the virus like a person would eat an apple

b)

Antibodies attach to the spike proteins to prevent it from attaching to our cell receptors

c)

Antibodies form a new boundary around each of our cells, much like a barricade to prevent entry

d)

Antibodies "punch" the virus until it is too weak to move anymore

5.

What is the main purpose of active transport?

a)

To move molecules from high concentration to low concentration

To facilitate diffusion

6.

What is required for active transport to occur?

a)

Carrier protein

b)

ATP

c)

Facilitated diffusion

What is the role of a carrier protein in active transport?

a)

To move molecules from high concentration to low concentration

b)

To move molecules from low concentration to high concentration

To facilitate diffusion

8.

Why does active transport require energy to move molecules of a substance across a cell membrane?

a)

Lack of the substance makes the cell weak.

b)

The substance moves from low to high concentration, against the concentration gradient.

c)

The cell membrane is very thick.

d)

The substance moves from high to low concentration, with the concentration gradient.
