    Passive transport involves diffusion of substances across the cell membrane from high to low concentration without energy. Active transport pumps molecules across the membrane against concentration gradients using protein pumps, while bulk transport engulfs or releases larger molecules with energy. Aquaporins allow water to easily pass through the membrane. Organisms regulate water transport to prevent it from rushing in or out of cells and bursting them in different salinity environments. The lipid bilayer and transmembrane proteins can be modeled by a fence and gates to demonstrate facilitated diffusion and active transport.

    1.

    Substances diffuse across the cell membrane from regions of high concentration to regions of low
    concentration, a process called passive transport, which occurs without energy being expended.

    2. Molecular transport occurs when proteins in the cell membrane actively pump small molecules
    across the cell membrane, regardless of concentration gradients. Bulk transport takes place when
    larger molecules are either engulfed and brought into the cell or released out of the cell. Both
    methods require energy.

    3. The cell needs water from Its environ-ment. Water cannot easily pass through the cell membrane
    because a layer of it is hydrophobic. Aquaporins allow water to pass easily across the mem-brane.
    4. Organisms that live in salt water are hypotonic to their environment. This means water would rush
    out of their cells if not regulated. Those in freshwater are hypertonic to their environment. Water
    would rush into their cells if not regulated. The cell would eventually burst.

    5. The fence represents the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane, so it could be used to model facilitated
    diffusion. The gates represent trans-membrane proteins, so they could be used to model active
    transport using protein pumps.
