Q1: In what ways is the plasma membrane a barrier, and in what ways is it a gatekeeper? Q2: Why can’t ions (such as Na+) cross the plasma membrane without the help of a transport protein? Q3: If no energy were available to the cell, what forms of transport would not be able to occur? What forms of transport could occur?
