In competitive inhibition, if the concentration of the substrate is increased :
1. the rate of the reaction is increased
2. the rate of the reaction is decreased
3. the rate of the reaction is not affected
4. the reaction direction is reversed

The component molecules of the cell membrane have two main parts, the head and the tail. These parts are either hydrophobic (repelled by water) or hydrophilic (attracted to water). Which is which?
1. Hydrophilic Head and Hydrophobic Tail

The living state of an organism is a :
1. non-equlibrium steady state
2. non-equilibrium variable state

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.
