Cell Membrane Facts

Question: How do lipids prevent water from passing through the cell membrane?
Answer: Lipids are arranged in 2 rows with their water-loving heads facing out and their water-hating tails facing in.

Question: The process that allows water to pass through a semi-permeable membrane.
Answer: What is osmosis?

Question: Give 2 reasons why energy is sometimes needed to move molecules through a cell membrane.
Answer: 1) To move particles from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration.
2) To move very large particles.


Question: What 2 processes refer to the cell membrane surrounding material that is too large to simply pass through?
Answer: Endocytosis and Exocytosis

Question: Give 2 examples of passive transport and 2 examples of active transport.
Answer: Passive transport: diffusion, osmosis

Active transport: endocytosis, exocytosis
