Facilitated difussion. Ca is water soluble. Water sloble molecules doesn`t have simple diffusion, therefore needs a protein carrier to move through the membrane.

Calcium is primarily transported into or out of the cell using specialized protein channels called calcium channels. These channels allow calcium ions to move across the cell membrane, either into the cell (via calcium influx) or out of the cell (via calcium efflux). Additionally, calcium can also be transported into the cell by calcium transporters such as ATPase pumps.

What type of transport is used to move lactose into the cell?
Active transport
What method is often used by cells to move large solid material into the cell?
active transport
If energy is need to move materials around a cell ATP is used this is called?
passive transport
What kind of molecules are moved in active transport?
Active transport requires energy, unlike passive transport. The carrier proteins in active transport act as a "pump" ( fueled by ATP) to carry/attach themselfves to useful proteins for the cell.
What used a protein to move a molecule across a cell membrane without energy?
Facilitated diffusion uses proteins to move a molecule across the cell membrane without energy.

ATP is being used to move the molecules out of the cell by?
Protiens which twist themselves to actively transport things in and out of the cellular membrane.

Facilitated diffusion uses proteins to move a molecule across the cell membrane without energy.
How do transport proteins work?
They are used in Facilitated Diffusion, helping to transport ions, macromolecules, and other substances incapable of entering a cell by themselves to cross through the plasma membrane of the cell.
What 3 ways can substances enter and leave a cell?
Substances can move in and out of a cell in several ways. Diffusion is when a substance will distribute itself in or out of a cell until the distribution on both sides of the cell is balanced. Active transport is when a cell transports a substance across the cell membrane that would not normally be able to pass through. Osmosis is the movement of water from areas with few dissolved dissolved substances to areas with high dissolved substances.
What is called when vesicle's are used to move substances into a cell?
It is called endocytosis, which is defined as "the transport of solid matter or liquid into a cell by means of a coatedvacuole or vesicle." The opposite of endocytosis is exocytosis.
What happened as electrons move along the chain of molecules known as the electron transport chain?
They lose energy,which is then used by the cell to make ATP
What happens as electronics move along the chain of molecules known as the electron transport chain?
They lose energy,which is then used by the cell to make ATP
What is used to move a substance through a membrane in active transport?
Electrochemical gradient is used to move substances through a membrane in active transport.
