In section 11.1.2, NCERT states that a concentration gradient needs to be present in spite of the fact that facilitated diffusion is facilitated by a carrier. Why is it so?
1. These protein carriers have ATPase activity.
2. These protein carriers can not move in the membrane.
3. These protein carriers can not establish concentration gradients.
4. These protein carriers can provide only symport with the use of external energy.

Facilitated diffusion allows cells to:
1. achieve uphill transport without ATP energy
2. select substances for uptake
3. stop transport of hydrophilic substances
4. decrease the rate of diffusion of lipophilic substances

Active transport of substances does not involve:
1. transport of solute along the concentration gradient.
2. use of a specific membrane transport protein.
3. hydrolysis of ATP.
4. transport of solute against a concentration gradient.

The main difference between active transport and facilitated diffusion is:
1. In active transport the molecules move from areas of high to areas of low concentration
2. In active transport, you need carrier proteins
3. In active transport, you need ATP to move molecules against a concentration gradient
4. In active transport, only water molecules move

Consider the mode of transport shown in the given figure.
   
I: The mode of transport shown is facilitated diffusion.
II: Membrane proteins set up a concentration gradient for the substances to be transported across the membrane by this mode of transport.
1. I is correct and II is also correct
2. I is correct but II is incorrect
3. I is incorrect and II is incorrect
4. I is incorrect and II is correct
