The illustration shows a model of the transport of solute particles from outside the cell to inside the
Inside of cell
Protein pump
High concentration
Low concentration
Energy
Outside of cell
What type of cell transport is modeled?
A
The model illustrates active transport because energy is required for solute particles to
cross the cell membrane,
0
B. The model illustrates diffusion because solute particles are moving from an area of higher
concentration to an area of lower concentration
C. The model illustrates facilitated diffusion because protein channels allow solute particles
to cross the cell membrane.
D. The model illustrates osmosis because water molecules are moving from an area of higher
concentration to an area of lower concentration,
