(Use the diagram to answer questions A-C)
A.
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?
B.
1. Which section shows diffusion?2. What type of solute molecules may be moved by this type of transport?
C. Which of these sections are considered passive transport? Explain.
Can you explain ACTIVE transport - more specifically how transport is facilitated by proteins (carriers or pumps) OR bulk transport of molecules.
The salt concentration in the cytosol of body cells of seawater fish is lower than it is in their
environment. This causes the fish to continually lose water. To compensate for this loss,
seawater fish continuously ingest water and rely on membrane-bound proteins on their
gills for the removal of salt ions back to the environment.
Which of the following describes the most likely mechanism of membrane transport used
by seawater fish to remove the salt ions?
A
B
с
D
exocytosis
simple diffusion
active transport
facilitated diffusion

- This graph shows facilitated diffusion of a compound across a cytoplasmic membrane and into a cell. As the external concentration of the compound is increased, the rate of uptake increases until it reaches a point where it slows and then begins to plateau. This is not the case with passive diffusion, where the rate of uptake continually increases as the solute concentration increases. Why does the rate of uptake slow and then eventually plateau with facilitated diffusion?arrow_forwardWhat is an analogy for a smooth endoplasmic reticulum?arrow_forwardExamine the graph presented here. Using your knowledge of how the processes work, label each curve as representative of either simple diffusion or facilitated diffusion. Explain how you determined which curve was which.arrow_forward
- What is another way to answer this question Describe various examples of active transport. How is active transport different from passive transport? Without saying this: Active transport is when cells move against the flow/ concentration gradient, moving from low concentrations to high concentrations. Because of this, active transport requires ATP to work. Passive transport is different because it doesn't use much energy and moves from high concentration to a low concentration. Some examples of active transport are the Sodium-potassium pump ( the most well known one) where it takes sodium ions and pumps them outside of the membrane to let in potassium ions. Another one in plants is when a plant receives ions from the soil. The soil has a much lower concentration of ions than a plants root does, so ions have to move against the concentration gradient. Endocytosis and exocytosis are also forms of active transport. Where cells engulf its self around large molecules to bring…arrow_forwardGive typing answer with explanation and conclusion Which of the following type of transport is specific to eukaryotes? -Active Transport -Osmosis -Diffusion -Phagocytosis -Facilitated diffusionarrow_forwardGive typing answer with explanation and conclusion Which of the following is NOT a direct function of the cytoskeleton?

- Which organelle are membrane proteins in when they first become membrane proteins? How did the membrane protein get incorporated into the membrane of that organelle?arrow_forwardResearchers tried to explain how vesicular transport occurs in cells by attempting to assemble the transport components. They set up microtubular tracks along which vesicles could be transported, and they added vesicles and motor protein kinesin. Yet, when they put everything together, there was no movement or transport of vesicles. What were they missing? endoplasmic reticulum contractile microfilaments OATP an axon intermediate filamentsarrow_forwardFacilitated diffusion and active transport are two different mechanisms that the cells use to transport molecules into and out of the cell. Compare and contrast these two types of cellular transport.arrow_forward
- Complete the table below regarding osmosis, diffusion, and active transport. Osmosis Diffusion Active Transport Describe the principles behind each process. Cite an example where each of these processes is exhibited by animals.arrow_forwardThis graph represents two different modes of transport across a biological membrane. One shows a membrane protein and the other does not. Which line represents transport with a membrane protein? Label each line with the mode of transport. There are three key characteristics of transport across a biological membrane using a membrane protein. What are the three key features? List and describe each feature.arrow_forwardThe salt content within the cytosol of marine mammals is lower than the water that they consume from their environment. To maintain their salt concentration relative to their en- vironment, marine mammals rely on reticulate kidneys that have multiple lobes and allow for salt to be collected and excreted. How does the higher surface area of reticulate kidneys help marine mammals maintain their cellular salt-water concentration? A The higher surface area allows for a higher concentration of protein channels through which the salt can be actively transported. B с D The higher surface area increases the volume of the kidney cells and allows for more ef- ficient transport of the salt across them. The higher surface area reduces the amount of ATP that is required for the removal of salt by allowing the salt to be removed via facilitated diffusion. The higher surface area increases the concentration gradient of salt and allows it to eas- ily diffuse through their cell membrane.arrow_forward
