Quick comprehension check
“Label the following parts of the diagram showing active transport: cell membrane, protein carrier, molecule being transported, area of low concentration, area of high concentration, and energy source. Label the following parts of the diagram showing active transport: protein carrier, molecule moving against the concentration gradient, ATP, inside of cell, outside of cell, and cell membrane. Label the following parts of the diagram showing active transport: where the molecule binds to the protein carrier, where the protein carrier releases the molecule, the direction of molecule movement, the area of higher concentration, the area of lower concentration, and the molecule providing energy.”
