The cell membrane is
important for
maintaining
homeostasis, because it
controls what enters
and leaves a cell.
1. Sketch the
phospholipid bilayer of a cell memorane below and label the
polar heads and nonpolar tails. 3. Circle th e statements below that wouId be TRUE a bout
simple diffusion. HINT: There is more than one!
It is a form of passive transport.
(5J Molecules travel with the concentration gradient.
C) It is how glucotse travels across the cell membra r.e.
It is how oxygen and carbon dioxide travel across the
membrane.
E| This transport is typical for large molecules.
Moving with the Concentration Gradient
4. "Moving with the flow" [i.e. going with the concentration gradient) is
the direction of flow in passive transport. Show this in the diagram on
right by drawing in 10 total circles (to represent molecules) . You must
decide a certain amount to place on the left vs. the right side after
viewing the arrow indicating the direction of movement. Label th
concentration side and low concentration side.
