- Active transport must function continuously because_______. a. plasma membranes wear out b. cells must be in constant motion c. facilitated transport opposes active transport d. diffusion is constantly moving the solutes in the other directionarrow_forwardWhich of the following methods of transport is being used to transfer the substance into the cell in the accompanying graph? a. diffusion down a concentration gradient b. osmosis c. facilitated diffusion d. active transport e. vesicular transport f. It is impossible to tell with the information provided.arrow_forwardIf an intact cell is incubated with an enzyme that digests proteins so that all the (parts of) proteins on the outer surface of the cell are removed, will the cell be able to receive any environmental signals? Explain. Circle the correct answer. Osmosis is a type of... simple diffusion facilitated diffusion primary active transport secondary active transport none of the above Liver cells are in contact with the blood and exchange a variety of substances with the blood plasma (the noncellular part of blood). The concentration of water is equal in the cytoplasm of liver cells and in the blood plasma. Explain this observation in terms of membrane permeability and transport mechanisms. Animal cells typically maintain a higher concentration of Na+ outside the cell and a higher concentration of K+ inside the cell via the Na+-K+ pump. The drug ouabain inhibits the activity of the Na+-K+ pump. A nerve cell is incubated in ouabain. Predict what will happen to the concentrations of Na+ and…arrow_forward
- If a cell is non-selectively engulfing samples of extracellular fluid, for example to absorb nutrients, it will likely utilize a. exocytosis b. phagocytosis c. pinocytosis d. receptor-mediated endocytosisarrow_forwardWhat is the Description and Examples in the body of these Cell transport? Explain in 2-3 sentencesDescription:Examples in the body: 1. Bulk Transport 2. Phagocytosis 3. Pinocytosis 4. Receptor-Mediated Endocytosisarrow_forwardThe diagram below represents the process of diffusion through the cell membrane.Identify the condition of the membrane as permeable, semipermeable ornonpermeable. Explain how the condition of the cell membrane affects the process ofdiffusion. Remember to include the concentration gradient.arrow_forward
- one reason active transport has a limited maximum transport rate at which it can progress is due to the fact that a. energy required is not available inside the cell b. carrier proteins are not on the surface of the cell membrane c. ion channels are limited in size d. the number of carrier proteins is limited and therefore they can become saturatedarrow_forwarda. integral memebrane protein that crosses membrane multiple time b. lipid-linked membrane proteins c. peripheral memebrane protein d. integral memebrane protein that crosses membrane incearrow_forwardThe image illustrates passive and active transport across the cell membrane. (Use the diagram to answer questions A-D) A. 1. Which section represents facilitated diffusion?2. Explain why or how can you tell?3. Does the cell expend energy in this transport?4. Why or why not?5. What type of solute molecules may be moved by this type of transport? B. 1. Which section shows active transport?2. Explain why or how can you tell?3. Does the cell expend energy in this transport?4. Why or why not? C. 1. Which section shows diffusion?2. What type of solute molecules may be moved by this type of transport? D. Which of these sections are considered passive transport? Explain.arrow_forward
