Using the information in Fig. 1.1, explain why the overall movement of oxygen molecules is from outside the cell to inside the cell.
State the source of the energy used in diffusion.
State the name of the cells that carry oxygen in the human body.
State the name of the molecule to which oxygen binds during transport around the body.
Complete Table 1.1 by indicating for each factor whether it increases the rate of diffusion of oxygen molecules, decreases it, or makes no difference.
Some molecules are moved by active transport instead of diffusion. Describe what is meant by the term active transport.
