Water diffusion is called osmosis. Oxygen is a small molecule and it's nonpolar, so it easily passes through a cell membrane. Carbon dioxide, the byproduct of cell respiration, is small enough to readily diffuse out of a cell. Small uncharged lipid molecules can pass through the lipid innards of the membrane.
- The illustration is a representation of the different ways molecules are transported across a cell membrane, that represents active transport is IV.
- Active Transport is described as a process that involves the movement of molecules against a gradient or an obstruction from a location of lower concentration to a region of greater concentration.
- A protein pump uses ATP, which is a form of stored energy, to move molecules during active transport.The process of active transport, which moves molecules using ATP as an external energy source.
- Some examples of active transport include the absorption of glucose in the human intestine and the uptake of minerals or ions into the root hair cells of plants.
- Active transportation comes in two flavors:
- Primary active transport
- Secondary active transport.

A cross bridge cycle occurs when actin (A) combines with myosin (M) and ATP to produce force, adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate (Pi). The cross bridge cycle is a series of molecular events that occur after excitation of the sarcolemma.
I believe the correct answer is to maintain homeostasis. :)
