Question

which of the following processes is an example of passive transport? facilitated diffusion active transport endocytosis exocytosis question 41 (1.7 points) all of the bodys nonreproductive cells, called_____, usually have 23 pairs of chromosomes and are thus called______ cells. germ cells; haploid (n) germ cells; diploid (2n) somatic cells; haploid (n) somatic cells; diploid (2n)

Explanation:

1. Passive transport does not require energy input. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport where molecules move across the cell - membrane with the help of transport proteins down their concentration gradient. Active transport requires energy (ATP) to move substances against their concentration gradient. Endocytosis and exocytosis are forms of bulk - transport that involve the cell membrane forming vesicles, and they require energy.
2. Somatic cells are non - reproductive cells. They contain 23 pairs of chromosomes, which means they have two sets of chromosomes and are diploid (2n). Germ cells are reproductive cells and are haploid (n).

Answer:

1. Facilitated diffusion
2. somatic cells; diploid (2n)
