Which of the following cellular transport methods is NOT a form of active transport?
endocytosis
exocytosis
facilitated diffusion
sodium-potassium pump
How do antibodies prevent a virus, such as Covid-19, from entering a cell?
Antibodies engulf the virus like a person would eat an apple
Antibodies attach to the spike proteins to prevent it from attaching to our cell receptors
Antibodies form a new boundary around each of our cells, much like a barricade to prevent entry
Antibodies "punch" the virus until it is too weak to move anymore
Which form of active transport does the Covid-19 virus enter the cell?
pinocytosis
phagocytosis
receptor-mediated endocytosis
exocytosis
Which of the following cellular transport methods is NOT a form of active transport?
endocytosis
exocytosis
facilitated diffusion
sodium-potassium pump
What is the main purpose of active transport?
To move molecules from high concentration to low concentration
To maintain equilibrium
To move molecules against their concentration gradient
To facilitate diffusion
What is required for active transport to occur?
Carrier protein
ATP
Facilitated diffusion
Osmosis
What is the role of a carrier protein in active transport?
To move molecules from high concentration to low concentration
To move molecules from low concentration to high concentration
To convert ATP into ADP
To facilitate diffusion
Why does active transport require energy to move molecules of a substance across a cell membrane?
Lack of the substance makes the cell weak.
The substance moves from low to high concentration, against the concentration gradient.
The cell membrane is very thick.
The substance moves from high to low concentration, with the concentration gradient.
What does pinocytosis involve?
Taking in water
Taking in large solid particles
Taking in gases
Taking in light
What does phagocytosis involve?
Taking in water
Taking in large solid particles
Taking in gases
Taking in light
What does exocytosis do?
Moves large bulky particles into the cell.
Moves large bulky particles out of the cell.
Moves small particles into the cell.
Moves small particles out of the cell.
What is the purpose of endocytosis?
To take in water
To take in large solid particles
To take in gases
To take in light
What is the normal flow of materials in active transport?
From high to low concentration
From low to high concentration
From low to medium concentration
From medium to high concentration
Expulsion or secretion of materials from a cell (ex: wastes and hormones)
Active transport
Endocytosis
Exocytosis
What does the term "phagocytosis" literally mean?
