(c) An active transport process in which molecules or ions of a sub-
stance move from a region of higher concentration to a region of
lower concentration with the assistance of an integral protein
(d) A passive transport process in which molecules or ions of a sub-
stance move from a region of higher concentration to a region of
lower concentration with the assistance of an integral protein


  1. Active transport is
    (a) the movement of a substance across the cytoplasmic membrane in
    the direction of the gradient by using energy provided by the cell
    (b) the formation of pores (called channels) in the cytoplasmic mem-
    brane that permit the flow of molecules through the cytoplasmic
    membrane
    (c) the movement of a substance across the cytoplasmic membrane
    against the gradient by using energy provided by the cell
    (d) is a process in which molecules or ions of a substance move from a
    region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration
    with the assistance of an integral protein

  2. What are the two types of endocytosis?
    (a) Facilitated diffusion and passive transport
    (b) Phagocytosis and pinocytosis
    (c) Hydrolysis and cytosol
    (d) Nucleoid and cytosol
