ATP

A protein moves molecules across the membrane from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration

Active Transport

Which means of particle transport requires the input of energy from the cell?

Active transport

Which statement best describes how channel and carrier proteins in the plasma membrane are similar?

Both allow for the flow of molecules into and out of a cell.

A protein facilitates molecules moving across the membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration

Facilitated Diffusion

Animal cells prefer to be in solutions of which tonicity?

Isotonic

A researcher noticed that a similar CH2 molecular structure was also located in the plasma membrane of an animal cell. This CH2 molecular structure contained a negatively charged phosphate group. Which statement best describes the primary function of the CH2 and phosphate molecular structure located in the plasma membrane?

It allows a cell to regulate the movement of materials into and out of a cell.

The indicated protein is part of a cell membrane. What is the most likely purpose of this protein?

It allows passage of particles into and out of the cell.

Move across the membrane in both directions

how active transport differs from passive transport?

Only active transport requires ATP.
