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
What is the function of aquaporins?
Aquaporins are channel proteins that facilitate the transport of water across cell membranes.
True or False: Active transport can move substances against their concentration gradient.
True
Define concentration gradient.
A concentration gradient is the difference in the concentration of a substance between two areas.
Fill in the blank: The _______ is the area where the concentration of a substance is higher.
source
What is bulk transport?
Bulk transport refers to the movement of large quantities of materials into or out of a cell.
Multiple choice: Which process allows cells to take in large particles? A) Pinocytosis B) Phagocytosis C) Diffusion D) Osmosis
B) Phagocytosis
What is the role of sodium-potassium pumps?
Sodium-potassium pumps maintain the electrochemical gradient by transporting sodium out of the cell and potassium into the cell.
True or False: Passive transport can occur through lipid bilayers.
True
