Q

SHORT ANSWER

Passive transport

A
  1. Involves carriers, channels or direct diffusion through a membrane.
  2. Always operates from regions of greater concentration to regions of lesser concentration.
  3. No external energy is required
20
Q

SHORT ANSWER

Active transport

A
  1. Is possible to go against the concentration gradient
  2. A source of energy is required to move carriers & it’s materials
  3. ATP is required
21

  1. Protozoa- malaria
  2. Fungi- mushroom
  3. Bacteria- tetanus
  4. Viruses- AIDS
  5. Prions- kuru
22
Q

What is divided by a process called binary fission?

23
Q

What are long, thin structures attached to the outside of the cell which uses a whipping motion to provide motility to the cell?

24
Q

What microorganisms are capable of producing disease under favorable condition?

25
Q

When do organisms benefit and the host is harmed?

A
