Chapter 2, Problem 3CR
Summary Introduction

To determine:

The meaning of the passive transport of substances into a cell.

Introduction:

The cell membrane is selectively permeable, so it is able to regulate the transport of materials in and out of the cell.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The passive processes that move the material across the plasma membrane.

Introduction:

The passive transport of molecules across the semipermeable membrane is similar to floating downstream with the current.

2) Explain how the following cell transport systems work moving materials around inside the cell and other functions. Focus on structure and function, and Include how energy is used to accomplish these movements. A)Tubulin/Kinesin B)Actin/Myosin
Which of the following is true of exocytosis, but not true of facilitated diffusion? Select all that apply. A) Involves transport vesicles B) May be used to move a hydrophilic substance to the other side of the membrane C) Requires energy D) Always moves a substance down its concentration gradient E) Always results in a substance exiting from the cell .
