Let us first have a short recap of the two major processes involved in the movement of materials into and out of the cell so you can understand that this passage of materials is made possible at different rates and energy input. Below is a simple activity that can lead you to differentiate passive transport and active transport. You need to identify which of the following pictures depicts passive transport and which one portrays active transport. Also, you have to interpret each picture, so you can identify the distinct feature of the two major transport mechanisms. inema Notes to the Teacher This module aims to familiarize the students about the different transport mechanisms. Point out the similarities and differences among the cell transports.

Vesicle transport occurs between the ER and the Golgi in bothdirections. Let’s suppose a researcher added a drug to cells thatinhibited vesicle transport from the Golgi to the ER but did not affectvesicle transport from the ER to the Golgi. If you observed cellsmicroscopically after the drug was added, what would you expect to seehappen over the course of 1 hour?a. The ER would get smaller, and the Golgi would get larger.b. The ER would get larger, and the Golgi would get smaller.c. The ER and Golgi would stay the same size.d. Both the ER and Golgi would get larger.e. Both the ER and Golgi would get smaller
Transportation by transporters and channels are similar in that they both can occur with passive transport but yet one (transport by transporters) sometimes requires energy in order to happen, does the use of energy provide something special to the cell?
During an investigation on membrane transport, a researcher exposed bacterial cells to different concentrations of two different solutes: A and B. The rate of transport of each solute into cells isrepresented in the graphSolute ASolute BSolute ConcentrationWhich of the following best explains the greater rate of transport for solute A than for solute B at higher solute concentrations?A Solute A is being transported by simple diffusion, which does not rely on membrane proteins to control the rate of transportSolute A is being transported by active transport, which uses ATP and has higher rates of transport than passive transportSolute A is being transported by facilitated diffusion, which uses membrane proteins to increase the rate of transportRate of Transport
1) You are studying a transport protein. It appears to bind temporarily to the molecule to be transported. During normal transport, no energy is expended. The addition of a particular molecule that closely resembles the normally transported molecule inhibits transport. An increase in the concentration of the normally transported molecule in the presence of a constant concentration of the inhibitor increases the rate of transport. What kind of transport is described? 2) What are peripheral membrane proteins?
