Which of the following statements about diffusion is correct? It is an active process in which molecules move from a region of lower concentration to one of higher concentration. It is very rapid over long distances. It requires an expenditure of energy by the cell. It is a passive process in which molecules move from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration. It is a passive process in which molecules move from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.
Which of the following molecules would be able to passively diffuse into or out of the cell? Glucose, a sugar Insulin, a protein Oxygen gas Sodium ion
The force driving simple diffusion is _____, while the energy source for active transport is _____. the concentration gradient; ATP phosphorylated protein carriers; ATP the concentration gradient; ADP transmembrane pumps; electron transport
Active transport is different from passive transport because a. no additional energy is required. b. molecules move from low concentration to high concentration. c. ions are involved. d. proteins are involved. e. water is moved across the membrane.
Which feature is typical of primary active transport? The transport protein must cross to the correct side of the membrane before the solute can bind to it.
