Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 5A
A cell can use the process of facilitated diffusion to
a. concentrate a molecule such as glucose inside a cell.
b. remove all of a toxic molecule from a cell.
c. move ions or large polar molecules across the membrane regardless of concentration.
d. move ions or large polar molecules from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration.

Students have asked these similar questions
a. Substance X is transported by passive transport and Substance Y is transported by active transport
b. Substance X is transported by active transport and Substance Y is transported by passive transport
c. Substance X is transported by active transport and Substance Y is transported by active transport
d. Substance X is transported by passive transport and Substance Y is transported by passive transport
one reason active transport has a limited maximum transport rate at which it can progress is due to the fact that
a. energy required is not available inside the cell
b. carrier proteins are not on the surface of the cell membrane
c. ion channels are limited in size
d. the number of carrier proteins is limited and therefore they can become saturated
Describe and explain the difference between:
a. Active and passive transport across a membrane. Give an example (can be broad) of a molecule that crosses a membrane for each mechanism.
b. Primary vs secondary active transport. Give an example of a molecule(s) that crosses a membrane for each mechanism.
