Active and Passive Transport Drill

Front

Movement across the cell membrane that does not require energy is called ___________________ transport.

Back

Passive transport.

Front

Endocytosis uses __________________ to move particles across/through the cell membrane.

Back

Vesicles.

Front

Exocytosis is an example of __________________ transport.

Back

Active transport.

Front

Ion channels a type of facilitated diffusion uses _____________ to move particles across/through the cell membrane.

Back

Membrane Proteins.

Front

The diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane is called ________________.

Back

Osmosis.

Front

What is the primary difference between active and passive transport?

Back

Active transport requires energy, while passive transport does not.

Front

Define facilitated diffusion.

Back

Facilitated diffusion is the process of transporting substances across a cell membrane with the help of membrane proteins.

Front

What role do membrane proteins play in transport?

Back

Membrane proteins assist in the movement of substances across the cell membrane, either through facilitated diffusion or active transport.

Front

What is osmosis?

Back

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.

Front

What is the function of vesicles in cellular transport?

Back

Vesicles transport materials into (endocytosis) or out of (exocytosis) the cell.
