PART B; TRUE OT FALSE
11. Active transport moves substances down their concentration gradient.
12. Osmosis is a form of passive transport specifically involving water molecules.
13. Facilitated diffusion requires energy from the cell.
IDENTIFICATION
Direction: Identify what type of membrane transport is being describe.
TYPE OF TRANSPORT DESCRIPTION
Movement of small, nonpolar molecules
14.
through the cell membrane.
Movement through protein channels without
15.
energy.
Passive transport of water through a
16.
selectively permeable membrane.
SHORT ANSWER ESSAY
17 - 20: Explain why active transport requires energy while passive transport does not.
ILLUSTRATION
21 – 25: Draw an illustration of osmosis.
ANSWER KEY:
17-18: Explain why active transport requires energy while passive transport does not.
Expected answer: Active transport requires energy because it moves molecules against their concentration
gradient, from low to high concentration. Passive transport does not require energy because it moves molecules
down their gradient.
