Question

Substances can move across the plasma membrane in two different ways—actively or passively. This activity will help you determine whether transport mechanisms actively or passively move substances across the membrane.
True / False.

Answer 1

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

The substances are transported into and out of the cell through active and passive transport

ACTIVE TRANSPORT

The substances are transported with the expenditure of energy against the concentration gradient

example

The sodium-potassium ion pump that exchange the ions in the cell with the help of energy given by ATP

PASSIVE TRANSPORT

The transport of material without any energy ,with the concentration gradient

example

The movement charged ions across the membrane i.e sucrose
