Section 4: Cellular Transport
After reading the section in your textbook, respond to each statement.
1. Name the two transport processes that allow large substances to cross the
plasma membrane.
2. Identify three transport processes in cells that do not require energy.

4. Predict the appearance of an egg after the following procedure is performed:
An egg is soaked in a vinegar solution to remove the hard shell, leaving the inner
membrane intact. The egg is then placed in a solution of salt water overnight. As
part of your answer, explain what kind of solution the salt water is, relative to the
egg’s interior.
5. Distinguish between diffusion and active transport.
