Chapter 3, Transport Across the Plasma Membrane
Waste, secreted materials and fluids are released from the cell via:
Exocytosis
All gases need transport proteins to enter the cell.
False
An electrochemical gradient across the plasma membrane is created by passive transport in neuron cells.
False
High cytosolic calcium levels are maintained by secondary active transport.
False
Water enters the cell via:
Passive Transport
Large particles are moved into the cell via:
Phagocytosis
Dissolved solutes are moved into the cell via:
Pinocytosis
Aquaporins will allow exit of water when a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution.
True
Insulin production can lead to the production of more glucose transporters for the plasma membrane.
True
Passive transport always moves molecules down their concentration gradient.
True
