Phospholipids, proteins, and carbohydrates |
|
The fluid mosaic model describes the what? |
cell membrane |
|
Facilitated diffusion, or passive transport, doesn't require what? |
Energy |
|
Passive transport, or diffusion, moves molecules from areas of blank to blank concentration |
High to low |
|
What does Facilitated mean? |
Diffusion using carrier proteins that help molecules |
|
What is osmosis? |
It is a type of diffusion involving only the movement of water molecules |
