21. In what way are cell membranes selectively permeable? ________________

______________________________________________________________

22. Complete the table on types of cell transport?

Type of transport

Explanation

Example

Passive transport

 

Water passing through the cell membrane

 

Another form of passive transport, large molecules enter with help of transport protein molecules embedded in the cell membrane

 

Active transport

   
 

A larger molecule enters the cell when part of the cell membrane folds around it to enclose it in a sphere that will go into the cytoplasm

 

Phagocytosis

 

A one-celled organism called an amoeba, surround and ingest food

 

Material inside a cell is surrounded by a membrane, moved to the cell membrane to become part of the cell membrane, and the contents released
