Molecules and ions are constantly being moved across cell membranes. A student was asked to determine if an illustration shows active or passive transport of potassium (K+) and sodium (Na+).

Which statement is the best description of the transport occurring in the illustration?

Required

1

In the cell membrane model shown above, __________ move large molecules into and out of the cell.

Examine the data table.
Select two statements that support the data and explain the movement of molecules across the cell membranes.

Students investigate osmosis using dialysis tubing. Dialysis tubing is a semipermeable membrane that allows water molecules to pass through while preventing salt ions from passing through.   The students follow this procedure:
Mix salt into water to make a 7.1% salt solution.
Add equal amounts of this saltwater solution to four small bags made of dialysis tubing.
Fill four beakers with different salt solutions, as shown in the image.
Place each small bag into one of the four beakers.
Observe changes in the size of the bags.
The setup for the investigation is shown.

A cell membrane is composed of a double layer of lipids in which many kinds of proteins are embedded. Many of these proteins act like gates, allowing only certain particles to enter or leave the cell.
(click the image to enlarge)

When a particle has to go against its concentration gradient through one of these gates, energy is supplied by the cell to the correct protein to move the particle through the membrane. A sodium-potassium ion pump is an example of a type of carrier protein that uses a large portion of the cell’s energy to move sodium ions through the cell membrane.
