Which of these does active transport require? A difference in a gradient b/w molecules ATP a. b.

Explanation / Answer

24. Option a is correct. Lipophilic (hydrophobic) materials easily pass through the cell membrane because majority of the part of cell membrane is composed of hydrophobic portion.

25. Option a is correct. Phosphate heads are hydrophilic.

26. Option b is correct. Phosphate heads are always hydrophilic.

27. Option a is correct. Tails are hydrocarbon which are hydrophobic

28. Option b is correct. Fatty acid tails are always hydrophobic.

29. Option a is correct. Cell eating is known as phagocytosis and it involves intake of solid material in large vesicle size. Cell drinking is known as pinocytosis and it involves intake of liquid in small vesicle form.

30. Option c is correct. Tight junctions are mostly found in epithelia of lungs.

31. Option b is correct.

32. Option b is correct. Active transport always requires energy.
