Transports Concepts in Biology

what applies to facilitated diffusion?

• move along the gradient, carrier proteins, passive transport, no ATP

• move along the gradient, carrier proteins, active transport, no ATP

• move along the gradient , carrier proteins, active transport, needs ATP

• move along the gradient, carrier proteins, passive transport, needs ATP

Which way does a substance move in the concentration gradient during active transport?

• high to low
• low to high
• no net movement

The total solute concentration of a red blood cell is about 2%. Sucrose cannot pass through a red blood cells membrane, but water and urea can. Osmosis will cause such a cell to shrink the most when the cell is immersed in which of the following solutions?

• A hypertonic sucrose solution

• A hypotonic sucrose solution

• A hypertonic urea solution

• A hypotonic urea solution

You decide to buy a new fish for your freshwater aquarium. When you introduce the fish into its new tank, the fish swells up and dies. You later learn that it was a fish from the ocean. Based on what you know of toxicity, the most likely explanation is that the unfortunate fish went from a(n) _______________ solution into a(n) _______________ solution.

• isotonic, hypotonic

• hypertonic, hypotonic

• hypotonic, hypertonic

• hypotonic, isotonic

• Passive Transport
• Active Transport

• Passive Transport
• Active Transport

• Passive Transport
• Active Transport
