Question

Molecules like glucose and amino acids are not lipid soluble, so cannot cross the cell membrane by simple diffusion. Instead, they are shuttled across by carrier proteins in the membrane from high to low concentration. Does this process require energy from the cell? This is an example of what type of molecular movement?

Answer 1

Does this process require energy from the cell? No it is Passive Transport so no ATP is needed.

This is an example of what type of molecular movement? Felicitated diffusion

Step-by-step explanation:

Practicing for my EOC and thought I would give you the answer even though this was a lonnnggg time ago

:)

Answer 2

Answer: this is called passive transport and it does not require energy.
