Questions Related to movement in and out of the cell

ATP molecules combine with carrier molecules and allow passage of substances.

biology movement in and out of the cell transport of molecules osmosis and plasmolysis plant water relation

  1. Along concentration gradient

  2. Against concentration gradient

  3. Both A and B

  4. ATP is not required

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In the active transport, there is a movement of some substance from low concentration to the high concentration i.e., against the concentration gradient wit the help of ATP combined with carrier molecules.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.

All mineral salts absorbed in cells are

  1. Ions

  2. Atoms

  3. Molecule

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

All mineral salts are present in soil as charged ions adsorbed to clay particles. The minerals are absorbed in charged forms and not in uncharged forms through the exchange process. Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Glucose and amino acids are absorbed in the intestine by

  1. Osmosis

  2. Diffusion

  3. Active transport

  4. Passive transport

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Active Transport uses energy to pump molecules against a concentration gradient and is carried out by membrane proteins.

Which of the following means of transmembrane transport involves the expenditure of energy by the cell and can move materials up a concentration gradient?

  1. Osmosis

  2. Facilitated diffusion

  3. Simple diffusion

  4. Active transport

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
In one form of transport across the cell membrane, ATP is utilized. The utilization of an ATP molecule provides the cell with an energy boost which enables the transport of different molecules across the cell membrane. This is termed as active transport of molecules across the cell membrane.
So, the correct answer is 'Active transport'.

Decreasing order concentration of minerals inside cell is

  1. Ca$^{+2}$$-$K$^+$$-$Na$^+$.

  2. K$^+$$-$Ca$^{+2}$$-$Na$^+$.

  3. K$^+$$-$Na$^+$$-$Ca$^{+2}$.

  4. Na$^+$$-$K$^+$$-$Ca$^{+2}$.

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Potassium ions are usually higher inside the cell than outside the cell, and its concentration inside the cell is about 10 to 30 fold higher than the other components, while sodium ion is higher outside the cell than inside the cell. 
So, the answer is C.

  1. Requires an input of ATP

  2. Is involved in diffusion

  3. Occurs in osmosis and facilitated transport

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
In one form of transport across the cell membrane, ATP is utilized. The utilization of an ATP molecule provides the cell with an energy boost which enables the transport of different molecules across the cell membrane. This is termed as active transport of molecules across the cell membrane.

So, the correct answer is 'Requires an input of ATP'.

Energy is required for

  1. Active transport

  2. Facilitated transport

  3. Diffusion

  4. All of these

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
In one form of transport across the cell membrane, called active transport, ATP is utilized. The utilization of an ATP molecule provides the cell with an energy boost which enables the transport of different molecules across the cell membrane.
So, the correct answer is 'Active transport'.

Substances like glucose, amino acids, Na$^+$ etc in filtrate are reabsorbed by

biology movement in and out of the cell transport of molecules osmosis and plasmolysis plant water relation

  1. Passive transport

  2. Active transport

  3. Both active and passive transport

  4. Facilitated diffusion

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In cellular biology, active transport is the movement of molecules across a membrane from a region of their lower concentration to a region of their higher concentration—against the concentration gradient. Active transport requires cellular energy to achieve this movement. There are two types of active transport: primary active transport that uses ATP, and secondary active transport that uses an electrochemical gradient. An example of active transport in human physiology is the uptake of glucose in the intestines. So substances like glucose, amino acids, sodium ions in filtrate are reabsorbed by active transport.


So the correct option is 'Active Transport'.
