Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 6TYU

Test Your Understanding

6.    Electrochemical gradients (a) power simple diffusion (b) are established by pinocytosis (c) are necessary for transport by aquaporins (d) are established by concentration gradients (e) are a result of both an electric charge difference and a concentration difference between the two sides of the membrane

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
1. Where is the cell membrane located? 2. What is the function of the cell membrane? 3. What does selectively permeable mean? 4. What is the difference between active and passive transport?
Check your understanding about the following statements:I. Large cells have more surface area relative to cell volume than small cells. II. As cell increases in size, the surface/volume ratio increases.   a. The first statement is true. The second statement is false. b. The first statement is false. The second statement is true c. Both statements are true d. Both statements are false.
MAKE CONNECTIONS Explain why the set of forces driving ionmovement across the plasma membrane of a cell is described as anelectrochemical (electrical and chemical) gradient (see Concept 7.4).
