How do substances move in a cell?
By Diffusion and Osmosis.Diffusion is literally a "process of scattering" (diffus). The scattering process of diffusion arises from the fact that all particles are constantly moving in random directions. During diffusion, particles move by chance from a region where their concentration is high, to a region where their concentration is low.osmosis -is the net movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from a region of a higher concentration to a region of lower concentration...
When materials move passively by diffusion in what dirction do they go through the cell?
Materials move passively by diffusion from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, across the cell membrane. This process allows the substances to reach equilibrium within the cell.
What is the name of the process where materials are moved across a cell membrane?
Active transport.The energy is provided by a high-energy molecule, often ATP.Active transport is used to move a substance against (= up) its concentration gradient.Diffusion is what moves across the plasma membrane. This cannot move across water.
Why are proteins and polysaccharides cannot be transported across a cell membrane by carrier proteins?
They are too large to be transformed by carrier proteins. They are moved across by Vesicles instead.
Why is diffusion also called active transport?
Diffusion and active transport are not the same thing. Diffusion is when molecules pass from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. They travel down a concentration gradient. They do this naturally, like if perfume is sprayed at one end of the room, it spreads to the other end, because there is a low concentration of spray at the other end, see? Active transport is when a cell actively moves molecules from one side of its membrane to the other. It is often travelling up a concentration gradient, so it is going from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration- the opposite of diffusion.
What is the process that utilizes a carrier to move marerials across the plasma membrane in the direction of the concentration?
Diffusion is what carries materials across the plasma membrane. The diffusion cannot be moved across water.
What is the process by which substances are moved through the cell membrane by a carrier molecule?
facilitated diffusion or active transport

Process when large molecules food and other substances are packaged and moved across the membrane?
bulk transport
Is osmosis a physical or chemical change?
Osmosis is a physical process, not a chemical change. It involves the movement of solvent molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration across a semi-permeable membrane. No new substances are formed during osmosis.
Describe several ways molecules are moved across a plasma membrane?
Diffusion, osmosis, facilitated transport and active transport- which requires energy to work.
When molecules such as oxygen are moved into Cells along their concentration gradient directly through the Cell membrane - this is called?
Trans-membrane diffusion.
How do diffusion osmosis facilitated diffusion and active transport diffusion differ?
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of greater concentration to an area of lesser concentration. e.g. Exchange of gases in the lungs or body tissues. Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a semi-permeable membrane from an area of low solute to an area of high solute concentration. Faciliated diffusion is the passive transport of molecules down a concentration gradient. It is simply diffusion that involves a protein to make diffusion happen more easily across a cell membrane. Active transport is the moving of substances across the cell membrane using the cell's energy. Molecules are moved against a concentration gradient, i.e they move from an area of lesser concentration to an area of greater concentration. Tlhis is done by a carrier molecules which gets its energy from ATP.
Active transport occurs when substances are enzymatically moved through or across a membrane?
Yes, the is accomplished by the ENERGY that is contained in Adenosine tri phosphate!
When materials move passively by diffusion in what dirction do they go through the cell?
Materials move passively by diffusion from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, across the cell membrane. This process allows the substances to reach equilibrium within the cell.
What is the movement of large substances out of the cell?
Exocytosis is the process by which large substances are moved out of the cell. This involves the fusion of vesicles containing the substances with the cell membrane, releasing the substances outside the cell.
What functions do carrier proteins perform in active transport?
Carrier proteins in active transport actively pump molecules or ions against their concentration gradient across a cell membrane using energy from ATP. They allow specific substances to be moved across the membrane in a controlled manner, helping to maintain cellular homeostasis and regulate cell function.
