Question

Facilitated diffusion is a type of transport, while the sodium potassium pump is a type of transport. Even though they fall under different categories of cell transport, they both use a to help transport molecules across the cell membrane.

Answer 1

passive transport

Answer 2

@AZ

Answer 3

and so what would the sodium potassium pump be an example of?

Answer 4

active transport?

Answer 5

Exactly! And what do they use to transport molecules across the cell membrane?

Answer 6

im not sure

Answer 7

are you given any answer choices?

Answer 8

no im not

Answer 9

okay so do you see what's allowing/helping the molecules to cross over in this example of facilitated diffusion?

Answer 10

protein channel?

Answer 11

that's one of the ones in facilitated diffusion but what's the other one?

protein channels allow things to go down their concentration gradient

but remember active transport allows things to go OPPOSITE the concentration gradient

Answer 12

sorry i cant guess lol

Answer 13

it's the other one listed in the image haha

Answer 14

ion moement

Answer 15

carrier protein?

Answer 16

There you go
