Extension Questions: Rate of Transport Concentration difference Active Transport Diffusion Facilitated Diffusion 39. Using your knowledge of mechanisms of transport across membranes, suggest why the rate of diffusion shows a linear trend as concentration difference increases, whereas the rate for facilitated diffusion eventually reaches a maximum. 40. Why does active transport, on the same graph, start off with such a high initial rate compared to diffusion and facilitated diffusion?

Part I – Introduction to Diffusion and Osmosis1. Define the terms diffusion, passive transport, active transport, and osmosis. In each of your definitions, describe the role of a concentration gradient. 2. Biological membranes are said to be selectively permeable (or semi-permeable). What does this term mean, and how does this affect the way that molecules are able to move through cellular membranes? 3. Which type of molecule is more likely to quickly pass through a cellular membrane via simple diffusion, polar or nonpolar? Why? (You may need to use information from your textbook and class discussions to answer this question.)
