Which type of movement across a cell's plasma membrane requires energy supplied by ATP?

• Passive Transport

• Simple Diffusion

• Active Transport

• Osmosis

Which statement describes the process of osmosis in an animal cell?

• Sugar molecules move across the plasma membrane until the cell has enough energy to grow in size and divide.

• Water molecules move across the plasma membrane until solute concentrations are equal on both sides of the membrane.

• Ions move across the plasma membrane until the inside of the cell has a higher concentration of positive charges.

• Enzymes move across the plasma membrane until the cell has completed metabolism.

When mammals get an infection, their internal body temperature often rises 2 to 3 degrees Celsius. The body gets the energy it needs to react to an infection by...

• Increasing the rate of cellular division

• Decreasing the rate of glucose movement into the cell

• Increase the rate of cellular respiration in mitochondria

• Decrease the rate at which carbon dioxide is removed from the cell

• Active transport, because energy is being used to move molecules against the concentration gradient

• Facilitated diffusion, because energy is being used to move molecules with the concentration gradient

• Osmosis, because energy is not being used to move molecules with the concentration gradient

• Endocytosis because energy is not being used to move molecules against the concentration gradient

• DNA

• RNA

• C6H12O6

• ATP
