Q

What is the role of the cell membrane in cell transport?

A

The cell membrane acts as a selectively permeable barrier that regulates the movement of materials in and out of the cell.

17
Q

What is the main function of cell transport?

A

The main function of cell transport is to maintain homeostasis by regulating the internal environment of the cell.

18
Q

Which type of cell transport requires energy input from the cell?

A

Active transport

19
Q

What is the driving force for passive transport processes?

A

The driving force for passive transport processes is the concentration gradient.

20
Q

What is the role of the sodium-potassium pump in cell transport?

A

The sodium-potassium pump helps maintain the cell’s resting membrane potential and plays a crucial role in nerve conduction.

21
Q

Which type of cell transport involves the movement of molecules across the membrane using transport proteins?

A

Facilitated diffusion

22
Q

What is the role of aquaporins in cell transport?

A

Aquaporins are specialized water channels that facilitate the movement of water molecules across the cell membrane.

23
Q

Which type of cell transport is responsible for the movement of water across the cell membrane?

A

Osmosis

24
Q

What is the difference between active transport and passive transport?

A

Active transport requires energy input, while passive transport does not.

25
Q

What is the role of vesicles in cell transport?

A

Vesicles are membrane-bound organelles that play a key role in endocytosis and exocytosis.

26
Q

Which type of cell transport involves the fusion of vesicles with the cell membrane to release molecules outside the cell?

A

Exocytosis

27
Q

What is the purpose of endocytosis in cell transport?

A

Endocytosis allows the cell to take in large molecules, nutrients, and other substances from the external environment.

28
Q

Which type of cell transport is responsible for the movement of large molecules into the cell?

A

Endocytosis

29
Q

What is the primary function of the sodium-potassium pump in cell transport?

A

The primary function of the sodium-potassium pump is to maintain the cell’s resting membrane potential and regulate ion concentrations.

30
Q

Which type of cell transport requires the cell to expend energy in the form of ATP?

A

Active transport

31
Q

What is the significance of cell transport in cellular function?

A

Cell transport is essential for the survival and proper functioning of cells by ensuring the balance of nutrients and waste products.

32
Q

Which type of cell transport is involved in the movement of substances from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration?

A

Active transport

33
Q

What is the importance of maintaining homeostasis in cell transport?

A

Maintaining homeostasis through cell transport ensures that the internal environment of the cell remains stable and functional.
