- Draw and label a cell lipid bilayer and diagram how the following transport processes take place: passive diffusion of oxygen into the cell, facilitated diffusion of potassium into the cell, active transport of sucrose into the cell. Using different symbols (circles for oxygen, squares for sucrose, and triangles for potassium ions), show the relative concentrations (gradients) of these substances on the inside and outside of the cell. For example, to show that oxygen enters the cell by going “down” its gradient, you would draw more circles on the outside of the cell than inside the cell. Be sure to show and label membrane proteins when appropriate, and show the electric membrane potential using “+”s (pluses) on one side and “-”s (minuses) on the other side of the membrane. Also show the proton pump which uses ATP as a source of energy.arrow_forward2) Explain how the following cell transport systems work moving materials around inside the cell and other functions.

How can materials, such as proteins, move between the ER and Golgi when these organelles are not touching each other? A) When a substance such as a protein needs to move between these organelles, it is first dismantled in one organelle, then reassembled when it arrives at the other organelle. B) Substances such as proteins can travel between these organelles within transport vesicles. C) None of these; a single molecule will not go from one organelle to another. D) Substances like proteins will move between these organelles by diffusion through the cytoplasm. ..arrow_forward
