Which of the following is incorrect regarding facilitated diffusion?a. It is a passive process.b. It allows the movement of molecules from areas of lowconcentration to areas of high concentration.c. It may use either channel or carrier proteins.d. It allows the rapid transport of glucose across the membrane.
Active transport is different from passive transport because
a.
no additional energy is required.
b.
molecules move from low concentration to high concentration.
c.
ions are involved.
d.
proteins are involved.
e.
water is moved across the membrane.
The process of “active transport" through a membrane may be described by
which of the following?
A. the movement of ions and small molecules away from regions where they
are in high concentration.
B. the use of energy from ATP to move ions and small molecules into regions
where they are in lower concentration.
C. the plasma membrane engulfs the substance and moves it through the
membrane.
D. the use of energy from ATP to move ions and small molecules against their
concentration gradient.
