Cell Transport: Passive Transport

Question 1

What is the movement of substances in and out of a cell throuh the cell membrane?

Answer 1

Cell transport

Question 2

What type of cell transport does not require energy?

Answer 2

Passive transport

Question 3

Instead, passive transport relies on what?

Answer 3

Kinetic energy & the concentration gradient of molecules (or molecular movement)

Question 4

What are the three types of Passive Transport?

Answer 4

Simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis

Question 5

From what region do molecules/ions/particles move from? Where do they move next?

Answer 5

Region of greater concentration to a region of lower concentration

Question 6

Unlike the other types of passive transport, multiple types of substances utilize simple diffusion. Name one.

Answer 6

Fats, oxygen, carbon dioxide, certain ions

Question 7

Facilitated diffusion is like a partnership. What helps the diffusion occur in the membrane?

Answer 7

Transport proteins called transport channels

Question 8

Osmosis is the movement of only a specific molecule. What molecule is this?

Answer 8

Water molecules
