Cholesterol enters the cell by:
-simple diffusion
1ry active transport
2dry active transport
Facilitated diffusion
Endocytosis
Acetylcholine is an example of a(n):
Paracrine
Neurohormone
Neurotransmitter
Autocrine
Sodium-linked glucose transport is an example of:

A membrane potential moves ions up their concentration gradient
A molecule passes through a second membrane after a first membrane
Select the membrane transport protein that is least likely to exhibit saturation
carrier
Channel with binding sites
channel with an open pore
Pump
An example of primary active transport is the:
Calcium pump
glucose carrier
Sodium-linked glucose transport
Sodium-proton counter transport
