Checkpoint Questions
Explain why transport systems are needed across cell membranes.
Describe the conditions needed for passive transport of molecules into a cell?
Water and ions often enter the cell through protein pores but they cannot pass through the lipid layer in the
same way that oxygen and carbon dioxide do. Why not?
Explain the differences between simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion.
