32
Q

This is a barrier that protects the cell from the outer environment.

A

Plasma Membrane

33
Q

It is important to protect the cell from foreign substances t continue its metabolism. True or False?

A

True

34
Q

This type of transport do not need energy.

A

Passive Membrane Transport

35
Q

This refers to the shrinking of the cell due to higher concentrations of Extracellular Fluid (ECF) than Intracellular Fluid (ICF).

A

Hypertonic

36
Q

This refers to the bursting of the cell due to higher levels of Intracellular fluid more than its maximum amounts.

A

Hypotonic

37
Q

This type of transport needs energy as it requires more work to be done.

A

Active transport

38
Q

This is the energy used in active transport.

A
