Q

What is the difference between primary and secondary active transport?

A

Primary active transport uses ATP directly, while secondary active transport uses the energy from the gradient created by primary active transport.

Q

What is the function of aquaporins?

A

Aquaporins are channel proteins that facilitate the transport of water across cell membranes.

18
Q

True or False: Active transport can move substances against their concentration gradient.

19
Q

Define concentration gradient.

A

A concentration gradient is the difference in the concentration of a substance between two areas.

20
Q

Fill in the blank: The _______ is the area where the concentration of a substance is higher.

21
Q

What is bulk transport?

A

Bulk transport refers to the movement of large quantities of materials into or out of a cell.

22
Q

Multiple choice: Which process allows cells to take in large particles? A) Pinocytosis B) Phagocytosis C) Diffusion D) Osmosis

A

B) Phagocytosis

23
Q

What is the role of sodium-potassium pumps?

A

Sodium-potassium pumps maintain the electrochemical gradient by transporting sodium out of the cell and potassium into the cell.

24
Q

True or False: Passive transport can occur through lipid bilayers.

25
What type of molecules typically pass through the membrane via simple diffusion?
Small, nonpolar molecules.
26
Fill in the blank: Active transport is essential for maintaining _______ within cells.
homeostasis
27
What is the significance of the fluid mosaic model?
The fluid mosaic model describes the structure of cell membranes, highlighting their fluid nature and the presence of various proteins and lipids.
28
Multiple choice: Which transport process is most likely to occur when a cell is in a hypertonic solution? A) Endocytosis B) Exocytosis C) Osmosis D) Active transport
C) Osmosis
29
What happens to a cell in a hypotonic solution?
The cell swells as water enters the cell through osmosis.
30
True or False: Active transport can only occur in living cells.
True
31
What is the purpose of receptor-mediated endocytosis?
Receptor-mediated endocytosis allows cells to take up specific molecules based on their interaction with receptors on the cell surface.
32
Fill in the blank: The _______ model illustrates the dynamic structure of the plasma membrane.
fluid mosaic
33
What is the main difference between osmosis and diffusion?
Osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water, while diffusion refers to the movement of any substance.
34
Multiple choice: What type of transport is used for glucose uptake in the intestines? A) Active transport B) Passive transport C) Both A and B D) None of the above
C) Both A and B
35
What does it mean for a solution to be isotonic?
An isotonic solution has the same concentration of solutes as another solution, resulting in no net movement of water.
36
True or False: Carrier proteins change shape to transport substances across the membrane.
True
37
What is the function of the plasma membrane?
The plasma membrane regulates what enters and exits the cell, providing protection and support.
38
Fill in the blank: In active transport, the cell often works against the _______ gradient.
concentration
39
What is the role of cholesterol in the cell membrane?
Cholesterol helps to stabilize the fluidity of the membrane.
