Glucose is transported across the cell membrane of intestinal cells. The cells lining the small intestine, however, rapidly move large quantities of glucose from the glucose-rich food into their glucose-poor cytoplasm. Using this information, which transport mechanism is most probably functioning in the intestinal cells? facilitated diffusion simple diffusion C osmosis concentration gradient

Does sodium chloride dissociate before going through the membrane? I am wondering because in semipermeable membranes, sodium chloride should be able to pass through, but if it dissociates, then it would need a transport protein.
Name the membrane transport mechanism that Ca2* would most likely use to diffuse across the membrane. O simple diffusion O active transport O facilitated diffusion O vesicular transport O more than one of the above
Which of the following characteristics may be used to describe Active Transport? Select all that apply. occurs without a transporter protein requires an energy source shows saturation kinetics (has a maximum rate) can occur against a concentration gradient (i.e. uphill)
Facilitated diffusion is a lipid-mediated process. true false
Cholesterol can be packaged into droplets using LDL (low density lipoprotein). Cells that need to take in cholesterol from the LDL droplets have a protein on their membrane called an LDL receptor.This protein binds to the LDL droplet and brings the cholesterol into the cell by forming a vesicle around it.Which method of membrane transport is involved in this process? 1.Diffusion2.Endocytosis3.Exocytosis4.Osmosis
Diatomic oxygen (O2) exhibits which of the following membrane transport movements? A. it is not able to cross the membrane by passive transport, because it is big, polar, and inorganic it is not able to cross the membrane by active transport, because it is big, polar, and inorganic it is able to cross the membrane by facilitated diffusion, because it is small, polar, and organic it is able to cross the membrane by active transport, because it is big, nonpolar, and organic it is able cross the membrane by simple diffusion, because it is small, nonpolar, and inorganic
Passive transport across the membrane mediated by a carrier— would not be saturated by increasing amount of substance to be transported. does not require energy (ATP). can be driven in reverse. moves the solute through the membrane in the “uphill” direction of their concentration gradient. is faster than transport mediated by channel proteins.
Compare and contrast the following methods of a passing cell membrane in terms of movement with respect to the concentration gradient, use of ATP, and the use of transporters with examples. (Simple) diffusion vs Facilitated diffusion
Can you explain ACTIVE transport - more specifically how transport is facilitated by proteins (carriers or pumps) OR bulk transport of molecules.
Facilitated 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.
Match the transport process to the correct description or example. Exocytosis is: Group of answer choices transport of signal molecules out of an endocrine cell transport of a steroid hormone into a cell breaking of a covalent bond to create new molecules making a new covalent bond transport of glucose into a cell, against its concentration gradient transport of glucose out of cell, with its concentration gradient import of an entire bacterium into a white blood cell transport of sodium out of a neuron transport of large macromolecules into a cell
