It may use either channel or carrier proteins.d. It allows the rapid transport of glucose across the membrane.
The following table depicts the rate of transport of a molecule into a cell as the external concentrations are changed. Based on what you know about the characteristics of membrane transport, the molecule is most likely transported by: a) passive transport b) simple diffusion across the membrane c) facilitated diffusion d) active transport
The movement of molecules from an area of low concentration outside of the cell membrane to an area of high concentration within a cell membrane is most likely which of the following types of transport? a. exocytosis b. diffusion c. endocytosis d. osmosis
Which of the following is true regarding bulk transport? ATP is required to pump molecules against the concentration gradient Bulk transport is an example of passive transport Transport of large quantities of materials ATP changes the shape of a protein channel during active transport
Glucose is transported across the cell membrane of intestinal cells. The cells lining the small intestine, however, rapidly move large quantities of glucose from the glucose-rich food into their glucose-poor cytoplasm. Using this information, which transport mechanism is most probably functioning in the intestinal cells? A facilitated diffusion B simple diffusion C osmosis D concentration gradient
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. The transport protein is irreversibly phosphorylated as transport takes place. The transport protein catalyzes the conversion of ADP to ATP. The solute moves against the concentration gradient. A concentration gradient provides the energy to move substances against their concentration gradient

For the following modes of transport for membranes, tell whether the flow is with or against chemical potenial. Meaning +deltaG or -deltag A. Passive Diffusion B.Faciliated Diffusion C.Active Transport
The transport of a certain molecule exhibits the following characteristics: (1) The molecule moves down its concentration gradient; (2) at concentrations above a given level, there is no increase in the rate of transport; and (3) cellular energy is not required for transport to occur. Which type of transport process is at work?
Compare and contrast the following methods of a passing cell membrane in terms of movement with respect to the concentration gradient, use of ATP, and the use of transporters with examples. Active Transport vs Passive Transport
