For each of the following sentences, fill in the blanks with the best word or phrase selected from the list below.Not all words or phrases will be used; each word or phrase should be used only once.
For an uncharged molecule, the direction of passive transport across a membrane is determined solely by its __________ gradient.On the other hand, for a charged molecule, the __________ must also be considered.The net driving force for a charged molecule across a membrane therefore has two components and is referred to as the __________ gradient.Active transport allows the movement of solutes against this gradient.The transporter proteins called __________ transporters use the movement of one solute down its gradient to provide the energy to drive the uphill transport of a second solute.When this transporter moves both ions in the same direction across the membrane, it is considered a/an __________; if the ions move in opposite directions, the transporter is considered a/an __________.
