Which of the following could not pass through the plasma membrane by simple diffusion? | amino acids |
The chief energy currency of all cells is a molecule called | ATP |
How are active transport and coupled (secondary active) transport related? | Coupled transport uses the concentration gradient established by active transport. |
The type of diffusion that is specific and passive, and which becomes saturated if all the protein carriers are in use is | facilitated diffusion |

The type of membrane transport that requires specific protein carrier molecules and energy to move substances against their concentration gradient is | active transport |
Protein catalysts that speed up the various metabolic biological reactions in an organism are called | enzymes |
The inorganic non-protein components that participate in enzyme catalysis are known as | cofactors |
