FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Back
The primary function of the cell membrane is to protect the cell and regulate the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
2.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Define active transport in the context of cell membranes.
Back
Active transport is the process by which molecules move across the cell membrane from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration, using energy (ATP) and specific transport proteins.
3.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is passive transport and how does it differ from active transport?
Back
Passive transport is the movement of molecules across the cell membrane without the use of energy, occurring from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. In contrast, active transport requires energy to move substances against their concentration gradient.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What are the three types of passive transport?
Back
The three types of passive transport are diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Explain the process of diffusion.
Back
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration until equilibrium is reached.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is osmosis and how is it related to water movement?
Back
Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.
7.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What role do channel proteins play in facilitated diffusion?
Back
Channel proteins provide a passageway for large or polar molecules to move across the cell membrane during facilitated diffusion.
