1
Q
is diffusion spontaneous or non spontaneous
A
it is spontaneous
2
Q
diffusion flows with or against the concentration gradient?
A
with the concentration gradient
3
Q
what is the sign for ∆G for active transport
A
it is non spontaneous so ∆G is positive
4
Q
Active transport flows with or against the concentration gradient
A
against the concentration gradient, from low to high
5
Q
in order to make active transport occur, what must happen
A
it must be coupled with a very spontaneous process to make the overall process spontaneous
6
Q
what does kinetics tell you
A
the rate of a reaction and its mechanism
7
