Cholesterol can be called a “temperature buffer” because at higher temperatures (like body temp) it makes the phospholipids ________ fluid by restraining
their movements. less more
At lower temperatures cholesterol hinders the close packing of phospholipids so it __________ the temperature required for membranes to solidify. lowers raises

DIFFUSION
To send a signal, a neuron may carry out exocytosis of chemical signals that are recognized by a 2nd neuron. In some cases, the 1st neuron ends the signal by taking up the signaling molecules by endocytosis.
To send a signal, a neuron may carry out exocytosis of chemical signals that are recognized by a 2nd neuron. In some cases, the 1st neuron ends the signal by taking up the signaling molecules by endocytosis.
Would you expect this to occur by pinocytosis or by receptor mediated endocytosis? EXPLAIN
Campbell Concept check
Receptor mediated endocytosis because in this case one specific molecule needs to be taken up at a particular time; pinocytosis takes up molecules in a non-specific manner
Each ion is being transported against its gradient. If either ion were flowing DOWN its electrochemical gradient, this would be Co-transport. Co-transport couples the movement of one substance down its gradient with one moving up.
Carbon dioxide and oxygen move across membranes in cells by
