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.

Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion What are true regarding vesicles? Select one or more: a. move proteins and soluble cargo from the ER to the golgi and then final destinations. b. Select for specific glycosylated proteins c. move cargo in a "retrograde" fashion from the plasma membrane back to the golgi and then the ER. d. help proteins fold correctly.
Which statement is not true of endoplasmic reticulum? A. There is smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum. B. It is found in all living cells. C. Rough ER has ribosomes bound to it. D. Proteins are transported and modified within it. E. Proteins can be targeted for ER transportation.
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 will end up in the organal.
Na+ moves from high to low concentration, across the plasma membrane, through a protein channel that is permenantly open. Which statement is true about this process? a. It does not require ATP b. It is a form of active transport c. Movement is against the concentration gradient of Na+ d. The channel probably allows many different molecules and ions to cross

Suggest an experiment to determine if the uptake of a compound is by either facilitated or active transport.
You find a membrane protein that moves molecules across a membrane. What type of transport could that protein be involved in?
Which is incorrect?a. Diffusion of a solute through a membrane is considerably quicker thandiffusion of the same solute through a water layer of equal thickness.b. A single ion, such as K1, can diffuse through more than one type ofchannel.c. Lipid-soluble solutes diffuse more readily through the phospholipidbilayer of a plasma membrane than do water-soluble ones.d. The rate of facilitated diffusion of a solute is limited by the number of transporters in the membrane at any given time.e. A common example of cotransport is that of an ion and an organic molecule.
