|
|
Diffusion is an active process that requires a cell to expend a great deal of energy
|
F
|
|
When the concentration of dissolved particles outside a cell is equal to the concentration of dissolved particles inside the cell, the cell solution is isotonic
|
T
|
|
The diffusion of water into or out of a cell is called
|

|
|
Passive transport uses ATP to move moelcules against their concentration gradient.
|
F
|
|
The sodium-potassium pump
|
decreases the concentration of sodium ions inside a cell.

F
|
|
The sodium-potassium pump
|
is a carrier protein
|
|
Transport proteins that allow ions to pass through the cell membrane are called
|
ion channels

Potassium ions into the cell
|
|
The sodium-potassium pump transports sodium ions out of a cell while causing potassium ions to move into the cell
|
T
|
|
Facilitated diffusion moves molecules and ions against their concentration gradient, while active transport moves molecules and ions down their concentration gradient
|
F
|
|
Osmosis is the diffusion of starch molecules through a selectively permeable membrane
