Front

Facilitated Diffusion is an example of __________________ transport.

Back

Passive

Front

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

Back

Osmosis

Front

Endocytosis is an example of ________________ transport.

Back

Active

Front

When the cell membrane allows certain particles to move across/through the membrane it is said to be _______________.

Back

Selectively Permeable

Front

What is the main difference between active and passive transport?

Back

Active transport requires energy, while passive transport does not.

Front

Define osmosis in the context of cell membranes.

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 role do membrane proteins play in facilitated diffusion?

Back

Membrane proteins help transport specific substances across the cell membrane without using energy.

Front

What is the significance of selective permeability in cells?

Back

Selective permeability allows cells to maintain homeostasis by controlling what enters and exits the cell.

Front

Give an example of a substance that moves through the cell membrane via facilitated diffusion.

Back

Glucose is an example of a substance that moves through the cell membrane via facilitated diffusion.
