1. Which transport mechanism moves nutrients against a concentration gradient

from lower to higher and requires both a carrier protein and ATP?

reverse
osmosis
active
transport

facilitated

Score: 1 of 1

2. Which of the following is an example of facilitated diffusion?

Water crosses the cell membrane, moving against the concentration gradient.
Glucose is moved into cells using a transport protein and energy.
Lipid moves freely from an area of high concentration to the lower
concentration in the cell.
Amino acids move from an area of high concentration to the lower
concentration into the cell via an embedded protein.
Correct. This is an example of facilitated diffusion.

3. Why is active transport necessary to move glucose molecules from digested food into the cells?

Glucose is found both in the intestinal lumen and inside of cells, meaning it
moves against a concentration gradient.
Correct. Glucose moves against the concentration gradient since it is already
found inside the cells for energy.
Glucose moves with the concentration gradient but requires an embedded
protein to move into the cell.
Glucose is absorbed into the lymphatic system, which requires active
transport.
Glucose is used for energy; therefore, some of the energy is used to move
glucose into cells.
