I do believe that the answer is facilated diffusion.

∙ 9y agoThe process by which glucose is being transported across the membrane is known as facilitated diffusion. Facilitated transport does not directly require ATP.

What is the process in which certain molecules act as carriers to move materials such as sugar across the cell membrane?
Ions such as sodium, potassium, chloride and calcium. Some molecules that are too big to get through the lipid bilayer by themselves can also be shuttled across the membrane by carrier proteins.
What is the process by which molecules of sugar pass through an animal cell membrane to replenish the cell's lack of sugar is?
diffusion
What is most likely to occur if the sugar molecules can cross the membranes?
Sugar molecules move outside of the membrane.
Process by which sugar molecules can be bonded together?
Sugar molecules are bonded together by a process called dehydration synthesis.
What can not cross the semipermeable membrane?
sugar molecules

When a cube of sugar is placed in water it spreads by the process of active transport true or false?
Active transport is the movement of molecules against the concentration gradient across a plasma (cell) membrane. This process generally requires the input of energy, such as ATP. A cube of sugar does not have a cell membrane because it is not a cell; therefore, the statement is false.
Why do sugar molecules not diffuse through a plant cell membrane?
The membrane is semi-permeable. Sugar molecules are too large to diffuse through.
Why did the number of the water molecules on each side of the membrane change where as the number of sugar molecules stayed the same?
The membrane is permeable to water but not to sugar.
What is the diffusion of water molecule through a selectively permeable membrane?
It's called osmosis. A selectively permeable membrane will only allow certain molecules to pass trough. To illustrate: If you have a high concentration of sugar molecules on one side of the membrane, no sugar on the other side, and the sugar molecules are too big to pass trough the membrane. If this is the case, then water molecules will diffuse over to the side of the membrane with a high sugar concentration. This happens because the molecules try to distribute themselves evenly in the solution. The water molecules move because the sugar molecules can't.
What is most likely to occur if the sugar molecules can cross the membranes?
Sugar molecules move outside of the membrane.
