1.) Diffusion occurs as a result of the constant random movement of molecules. (True) 2.) Hydrophilic molecules can cross plasma membranes more easily than hydrophobic molecules. (False) 3.) Small molecules cross plasma membranes more easily than large molecules. (True) 4.) Ion channels will allow any ion to pass through them as long as the ion is moving by diffusion. (False) 5.) What is a protein pump? a. A transport protein that moves proteins across a membrane b. A transport protein that uses energy to move molecules across the plasma membrane c. A transport protein that helps molecules move across a membrane without the need for energy

Four of the following statements are true regarding facilitated diffusion. Which one is false? It requires ATP The transported substance and the transport protein are usually specific to each other. It can occur through a permanently open channel. It requires a transport protein. Movement follows the concentration gradient of the substance.
Sukhwinder N.
Active transport differs from facilitated diffusion in that: A. Ions are not transported via active transport, only by facilitated diffusion. B. Active transport requires a protein component, whereas facilitated diffusion occurs by simple diffusion through the plasma membrane. C. Active transport involves a conformational change in the transport molecule. D. Active transport involves the transport of molecules up their concentration gradient. Question 2: Facilitated diffusion differs from passive diffusion in that facilitated diffusion is: A. Against the concentration gradient. B. Mediated only by a protein channel. C. Mediated only by a protein carrier. D. Mediated by a protein carrier or channel. Question 3: Mutations in the internalization signal of endocytic receptors prevent their interaction with: A. Adaptor proteins. B. Dynamin. C. Caveolin. D. Clathrin.

In facilitated diffusion, no carrier protein or channel is needed for a molecule to move across the plasma membrane: True False Which of the following correctly describes receptor-mediated endocytosis? Choose one answer engulfment of droplets of extracellular fluid engulfment of a particle by packaging it within a membrane-enclosed sac Enables the cell to acquire large quantities of specific substances, even if they are not concentrated in the extracellular fluid
