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

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

  1. Along concentration gradient

  2. Against concentration gradient

  3. Both A and B

  4. ATP is not required
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
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.

Glucose and amino acids are absorbed in the intestine by

  1. Active transport

  2. Passive transport

  3. Selective absorption

  4. Osmosis

A Correct answer
Explanation

Glucose and amino acids are absorbed against their concentration gradients in the small intestine. This process requires energy in the form of ATP, which characterizes active transport.

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

D Correct answer
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'.

C Correct answer
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.

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

  1. Passive transport

  2. Active transport

  3. Both active and passive transport

  4. Facilitated diffusion
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
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'.
