Label each of the following statements as either true or false. Primary active transport is driven by a concentration gradient. Secondary active transport requires energy from ATP. Transport through a pore or channel requires energy. An antiport transports solutes in different directions across a membrane.

What is TRUE about the molecules in simple and facilitated diffusion? Select one: a. All hydrophobic, non-polar molecules will diffuse across the membrane only by simple diffusion and by unassisted means. b. In simple diffusion, water will diffuse by unassisted means, however, in facilitated diffusion, water will diffuse by aquaporin channels. c. In simple diffusion, ionized particles and small and large polar molecules, like Na+, urea, and glucose respectively, will all diffuse across the membrane using specific channel proteins. d. In facilitated diffusion, glucose will cross the membrane by sodium glucose secondary active transporter (SGLT), which is a uniport carrier protein. e. All of the above f. None of the above
