2.6 Membrane Transport - Review

This review will guide you through an adaptive, research-backed study session. As you answer questions, we will actively assess your current understanding of the material. Questions will continue to be drawn until you have demonstrated mastery of each learning objective.

Reviews are graded based on completion. You will receive full credit for achieving 100% mastery or answering all questions.

Learning objectives for this review:

  • Explain the energy requirements and mechanisms of passive transport (diffusion, osmosis) and active transport (pumps, endocytosis).
  • Discuss how transport proteins assist in the movement of substances across the plasma membrane.
  • Explain how membrane transport maintains cellular homeostasis and enables cell communication.
