Passive and Active Transport Across Membranes

Question 1

Passive

Answer 1

Does not require direct input of metabolic energy

Question 2

Faciliated Diffusion

Passive

Answer 2

• Channel proteins
• Gated
  
  • To allow materials to go through

Question 3

Carrier Proteins

Passive

Answer 3

• Whenever a molecule links to a carrier protein, the protein’s shape changes to allow the molecule to move from one area of the membrane to another
• Basically changing its shape to allow the molecule to move through the membrane

Passive, Osmosis

Answer 5

Pressure that needs to be applied to a solution to prevent the flow of water across a membrane by osmosis

Question 6

Active

Answer 6

Requires Energy
