What is another name for the cell membrane?
What are the functions of the cell membrane represented in this diagram?

Active Transport | arrow_right_alt | How molecules are brought in and out of cells |
Cell transport | arrow_right_alt | When molecules move from a high concentration to a low concentration until balance is reached (with the gradient)- without energy |
Passive Transport | arrow_right_alt | When molecules are moved from a low concentration to a high concentration (against the gradient)- using energy |
Which option below best describes the concentration of molecules after passive transport?
As a result of diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion, the concentration of molecules...
A student conducted an experiment with Orbeez. She placed her Orbeez in a cup of water overnight and observed the results the next day.
Which of these best explains the results shown?
Osmosis occurs when molecules move the concentration gradient from a concentration.
These molecules will continue moving until is reached.
Determine which statements apply to each type of transport.

Which table correctly identifies how the plasma membrane (cell membrane) contributes to the maintenance of cellular homeostasis?
The tables below indicate the characteristics each type of transport has by using an "X".
Which of the following tables correctly identifies the characteristics of each type of cell transport?
The triangle represents glucose molecules after digestion.
Based on the diagram above, the glucose molecules will move from into because the molecules move .
transports through a vesicle the concentration gradient and then released into the cytopalsm.
Label the various examples of active and passive transport below.
A model of the cell membrane with various methods of transport is shown below. Identify each example as active or passive transport.

Section 2 represents because it moves molecules .
Human Intestines have specialized cells that function in nutrient absorption. These cells have tiny finger-like projections that take in as many nutrients from digested food as possible.
The diagram below shows a specialized cell taking in nutrients for further absorption, which are packaged into vesicles and transported into the cell using energy.
This is an example of transport because the nutrients digested move the concentration gradient.
