Examstudy - Stuvia US
, Quiz: Water soluble molecules must pass the bilayer through ______
channels
Ans: integral protein
Quiz: glyco- =
Ans: carbo- = sugar
Quiz: Passive process
Ans: No ATP used by cell, is concentration dependent (high -> low
concentration until system reaches equilibrium)
Quiz: Active process
Ans: ATP use is required, not concentration dependent
Quiz: Diffusion
Ans: Substance moves from higher concentration to lower concentration by
way of kinetic (thermal) energy. A type of passive process
Quiz: Facilitated diffusion
Ans: Lipid-insoluble substances helped by membrane carrier proteins (like a
swinging door) down a concentration gradient. Passive process
