Water Cell High Low Concentration Active Substances Surface

Front Many different substances enter and leave a cell by crossing its cell surface membrane. Describe how substances can cross a cell surface membrane. ( 5 marks)
Back (Simple/facilitated) diffusion from high to low concentration/down concentration gradient;

Small / non-polar / lipid-soluble molecules pass via phospholipids / bilayer;
Large / polar / water-soluble molecules go through proteins;

Water moves by osmosis/from high water potential to low water potential/from less to more negative water potential;

Active transport is movement from low to high concentration /against concentration gradient;

Active transport/facilitated diffusion involves proteins/carriers;

Active transport requires energy/ATP;

Ref. to Na+ /glucose co-transport;
