Passive and Active Transport Worksheet

This document contains information about passive and active transport. Passive transport includes diffusion and osmosis, which move molecules down their concentration gradient without requiring energy. Active transport uses energy and transport proteins to move molecules against their concentration gradient, such as endocytosis and exocytosis. If active transport proteins stopped working in a cell, it could negatively affect the cell by preventing amino acids from entering.

Active Transport

1. How is active transport different than simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion?

__________________________________________________________________________________

2. The prefix exo- means “out of” and the prefix endo- means “taking in”. How do these meanings
relate to the meaning of exocytosis and endocytosis?

4. Do you think that endocytosis and exocytosis can occur within the same cell? Explain your
reasoning.

5. Predict: If the transport proteins that carry amino acids into a cell stopped working, how might the
process affect the cell?
