How is the cell membrane facilitated diffusion transported?
In Facilitated diffusion materials are transported across the plasma membrane without using up any energy. Plasma membranes is made up of phospholipid bilayers consisting of proteins which help in the transportation of larger materials.
What term describes the structure of a cell plasma membrane because of its oily nature and embedded proteins?
The term used to describe the plasma membrane because of it's oily nature and embedded proteins is the fluid-mosaic model.The plasma membrane that surrounds each cell has two layers of phospholipids (fat with phosphorous attached).Each phospholipid molecule has a head that is attracted to water (hydrophilic) and a tail that repels water (hydrophobic) . Both the layers of the plasma membrane have the hydrophilic ends pointing to the outside forming the outer layer of the plasma membrane and the hydrophobic tails pointing inside and forming the inner layer of the plasma membrane.Proteins and substances such as cholesterol become embedded in the bi-layer of the plasma membrane giving it a mosaic look.At body temperature the plasma membrane has a liquid consistency like the vegetable oil and proteins and other substances are able to move across the plasma membrane. Due to this reason the plasma membrane is described using the term fluid-mosaic model.
Is chloroplast a feature of the plasma membrane?
No, it is an organelle found inside plant cells. These produce energy for the plant using sunlight.
The process that utilizes a transporter to move materials across the plasma membrane against the concertration gradient using ATP?
diffusion
What kind of Bacteria moves by forming slime and using a wave like motion of their plasma membrane?
The answer us wavalactios bacterium
What happens to a cell during the exocytosis?
It reorganizes its cytoskeleton to reposition its secretory vesicles at the plasma membrane. The vesicles then fuse to the plasma membrane using a complex interaction between proteins of the vesicle membrane and proteins of the cell membrane, and a realignment of the lipids of the membranes. This creates a fusion pore, which rapidly expands to expose the vesicle contents to the extracellular milieu. This releases the vesicle contents into the extracellular space.

When a cell uses energy to transport a particle through its plasma membrane toward the side of higher concentration the cell is using?

What is it called when substances move past the membrane without using energy?
Passive transport is when substances move past the membrane without using any energy.
Is the plasma membrane or cell membrane control what moves in and out of the cell?
The plasma membrane regulates what enters/leaves cell through the phospholipid bilayer using selective permeability, by which a membrane allows some substances into the cells while keeping others out. Picture a butterfly net, the holes in the allow knats and other bugs to pass through, while capturing other
