25
Which form of transport across cell membranes requires ATP?
Active transport
26
What is osmosis
movement of water down it's concentrated gradient

somatic
39
which type of cell formed meiosis?
gametes
40
describe structure of plasma membrane and explain 2 main functions
phospholipid bilayer with membrane proteins contains cell contents and controls cellular traffic membrane proteins play a role in transport/immunological identity/act as receptors
