The transport process a cell uses depends on its specific needs. For example, glucose is required by both red plood cells and the epithelial cells in the gut, but one cell type uses facilitated diffusion while the other uses active transport. Hypothesize which cells would use which mode of transport. Explain your answer.

You have a beaker filled with a solution containing 2M glucose, 4M urea and 1M salt.Suspended in the solution is a cell that containing a solution of 1M glucose, 8M urea and 3Msalt. The membrane of the cell is permeable to glucose and salt but not urea. Answer each of thefollowing questions:a. Where will water move?b. Where will urea move?c. Where will glucose move?d. Where will salt move?e. What will happen to the volume of fluid inside the cell?f. What will happen to the osmolarity of the fluid inside the cell?
Explain the major difference between diffusion and osmosis. Include in your answer which type of the molecule is moving for each process, in which direction the molecules in question are moving (low to high or high to low concentrations).
Part 1: If a gated channel (not a pump) is specific for potassium ions and based on what you know about concentration gradients, when will the potassium ions move through the channel? a) Is gated channel transport using energy (ATP)?

1) You are studying a transport protein. It appears to bind temporarily to the molecule to be transported. During normal transport, no energy is expended. The addition of a particular molecule that closely resembles the normally transported molecule inhibits transport. An increase in the concentration of the normally transported molecule in the presence of a constant concentration of the inhibitor increases the rate of transport. What kind of transport is described? 2) What are peripheral membrane proteins?
Proteins are transported from the cytoplasm into the nucleus as well as mitochondria / chloroplasts. There is also a transport that goes via vesicles. Describe these three different transport systems and explain how the cell knows which protein should end up in which organelle.
