What is passive transport?
Passive transport is the movement of substances across a cell membrane without the need for energy input.
True or False: Active transport requires energy to move substances across a membrane.
True
Fill in the blank: In passive transport, substances move from an area of ______ concentration to an area of ______ concentration.
high, low
What is the main driving force behind passive transport?
The concentration gradient.
Name one type of passive transport.
Diffusion.
What is facilitated diffusion?
Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport that uses carrier proteins to help substances cross the membrane.
True or False: Osmosis is a form of active transport.
False
What role do transport proteins play in active transport?
Transport proteins help move substances against their concentration gradient using energy.
Which molecule is primarily used for energy in active transport?
ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
Multiple choice: Which of the following is an example of active transport? A) Diffusion B) Osmosis C) Sodium-potassium pump D) Facilitated diffusion
C) Sodium-potassium pump
What is the difference between primary and secondary active transport?
Primary active transport uses ATP directly, while secondary active transport uses the energy from the gradient created by primary active transport.
Fill in the blank: In secondary active transport, the movement of one substance ______ the movement of another substance.
drives
True or False: Active transport can occur without the presence of a membrane.
False
What is endocytosis?
Endocytosis is a process by which cells engulf substances to bring them into the cell.
What is exocytosis?
Exocytosis is the process of expelling materials from a cell by vesicles fusing with the plasma membrane.
Multiple choice: Which of the following is NOT a type of passive transport? A) Diffusion B) Osmosis C) Active transport D) Facilitated diffusion
C) Active transport
