b) evolution
c) homeostasis
d) respiration

Active transport performs which function in a cell?
a) packages proteins for export from the cell
b) distributes enzymes throughout the cytoplasm
c) moves substances against a concentration gradient
d) equalizes the concentration of water inside and outside the cell

What is the main function of the cell wall?
a) store carbohydrates for later use
b) provide rigid structure for cell
c) package proteins for export
d) carry out photosynthesis

Which transport process always involves the movement of materials from inside the cell to outside the cell?
a) phagocytosis
