Question 5

what two internal proteins are used in active transport? Explain how and why they are used

Answer 5

carrier and channel proteins are always active transport

Question 6

explain why it is advantageous to have a large surface area to volume ration

Answer 6

small cells- we want small as possible so that diffusion happens quicker

Question 7

Answer 7

the water is going to rush outside cell to dilute it, if water is moving out of the cell it is described as hypertonic
