If so, what type?– Is there an energy requirement, and if so, what is the energy source?– What is the relative rate of solute transport based on molecule type? On concentration gradient?– What are examples of the types of solutes transported by carriers and channels?
Which of the following membrane transport mechanism requires both the aid of proteins and the expenditure of cellular energy?
A migrating fish would be rapidly transferring substances across cell membranes. These substances would include sodium, water, carbon dioxide, oxygen, and steroids. Which of those would be most likely to be moved via active transport? Why? What is a transmembrane gradient? What is an electrochemical gradient?
If the concentration of a solute is the same both inside and outside the cell, what might you expect with regard to its transport by a membrane protein? A. Since there is no concentration gradient, no transport either in or out of the cell is possible. B. The transport protein has been saturated. C. The solute must be phosphorylated with a phosphate group from ATP before further transport can occur. D. Movement of the solute across the membrane could occur and cause accumulated on one side of the membrane by an active transport protein. The concerted model of allosteric regulation is different from the sequential model, because: A. The concerted model is used to explain homotropic effects B. The sequential model is used to explain heterotropic effects C. Both A and B D. Neither A nor B

What do diffusion and osmosis have in common? How are they different from active transport? In the nervous system, where can you find examples of each of these?
secondary active transport depends on which of the following principles? a. sodium is pumped out of the cell against a concentration gradient by primary active transport b. sodium moves out of the cell with a concentration gradient c. primary active transport is necessary to pump sodium into the cell from a higher to lower concentration d. diffusion causes sodium to move out of the cell

Membrane lipids can move laterally with relative ease, but flip-flopping between layers takes much longer. True or False? The potassium channel is specific for potassium and not sodium because the pore in the channel is not large enough to fit sodium. True or False? The direction of spontaneous calcium transport depends only on its concentration on both sides of the membrane. True or False?
