Facilitated diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane is called?

Back

Osmosis

Front

What do we call it when both sides of the membrane reach similar solute concentrations?

Back

Equilibrium

Front

What is the primary function of the plasma membrane?

Back

To regulate what enters and exits the cell.

Front

What are the two main types of cellular transport?

Back

Active transport and passive transport.

Front

What is active transport?

Back

The movement of molecules against their concentration gradient, requiring energy.

Front

What is osmosis?

Back

The diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane.

Front

What role do proteins play in facilitated diffusion?

Back

They act as channels or carriers to help transport molecules across the membrane.
