Active Transport Process Quiz

Diffusion = Molecules move from high concentration to low concentration Osmosis = Movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane Active transport = Moves molecules from low concentration to high concentration against their gradient Protein carriers = Located within the cell membrane and carry out active transport

Energy = Required for active transport as it goes against the natural direction Mitochondria = Provide cells with necessary energy for active transport Respiration = Energy source used for releasing substances on the high concentration side in active transport Substances = Bind to the protein carrier on the low concentration side in active transport

Root hair cells = Take in mineral ions from the soil using active transport Kidneys = Retain needed substances like glucose and sodium ions through active transport Cell membrane = Location of protein carriers that carry out active transport Molecules = Moved against the gradient in active transport to absorb substances from dilute solutions

<p>Diffusion = Molecules move down the concentration gradient without need for energy Active transport = More effort needed to move substances against the gradient Osmosis = Movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane due to concentration difference Protein carriers = Have specific binding sites for the molecules they transport in active transport</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Diffusion = Does not require energy for movement down the concentration gradient Osmosis = Movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane without energy requirement Active transport = Requires energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient Respiration = Energy source used for releasing substances on the high concentration side in active transport</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Root hair cells = Take in mineral ions from very dilute solutions using active transport Mitochondria = Provide cells with necessary energy for carrying out active transport Protein carriers = Located within the cell membrane and responsible for carrying out active transport Diffusion = Involves movement of molecules down the concentration gradient without requiring energy</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Active transport = Enables cells to absorb substances from very dilute solutions Diffusion = Involves movement of molecules without significant impact on cell structure Osmosis = Results in movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane impacting cell volume and pressure Mitochondria = Increase in number to provide cells with necessary energy for carrying out active transport</p> Signup and view all the answers
