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_forwardWhich of the following statements is correct about passive diffusion? Select one: A) It is a process in which molecules move from a region of lower concentration to one of higher concentration (or up a concentration gradient). B) It is a process in which molecules move from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration (or down a concentration gradient). C) It requires an expenditure of energy by the cell. D) It may require a transport protein. E) It involves movement of molecules down a concentration gradient and may require a transport protein.arrow_forward
- 1) We measured weights before and after soaking a potato in water of different salinities to demonstrate osmosis. There are many other types of membrane transport (as we learned from the Amoeba Sisters!), each with their role in maintaining homeostasis and providing energy, communication, and waste removal for the cell. So why dwell on osmosis? There are some practical bigger- picture things to consider. Choose one of the following scenarios. Describe the scenario. Describe the chain of events terms of tonicity_and movement of water into or out of cells represented by the scenario. Describe the predicted outcomes for the cells/organisms involved. What happens when you dry brine a turkey before cooking? ● • What happens to organisms in soil near salted roads when snow melt and rains occur? Why is sugar considered a good preservative?

Which of the following is NOT true about channel and carrier proteins? a) Carriers never form a direct opening between inside and outside the cell. b) Channels generally transport material faster than carriers. c) Only carriers are used for selective transport of materials d) All of the above are true about channel and carrier proteins. 6. If it can cross a membrane, a solute will move from a hyposmotic/hyperosmotic (circle or highlight the correct one) solution to a hyposmotic/hyperosmotic (circle or highlight the correct one) solution. 7.
