True or falsearrow_forwardIn osmosis, due to solute concentration differences, the solute will move from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. True or Falsearrow_forwardCotransport is ____________ movement of water down concentration gradient using a protein channel movement of materials against their concentration gradient movement of one substance against, and one substance down their concentration gradients movement of molecules from high concentration to low concentration using no protein channels movement of materials down their concentration gradient using a protein channelarrow_forward
- ______transport (general term)uses the energy of Browain motion associated with gradients to move materials from one place to another without the use of "cellular energy".A specific example of this type of transport is ‐-----------arrow_forwardWhen a person becomes dehydrated the amount of water in extracellular fluids such as blood decreases, causing the solute concentration of these fluids to increase. State weather osmosis results in water entering or leaving cells.arrow_forward"The membrane potential arises from movements of charge that leave ion concentrations practically unaffected, causing only a very slight discrepancy in the number of positive and negative ions on the two sides of the membrane." is true or false.arrow_forward
