Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Active Transport Worksheet (teacher made)
Here are the solutions to the questions on the worksheet.

1. Complete the sentence by using the words below:

* First blank: The type of transport being defined is Active.
* Second blank: Active transport moves molecules.
* Third blank: It moves them from a low concentration.
* Fourth blank: To a high concentration.

Completed Sentence:
Active transport is the movement of molecules from a low concentration to a high concentration.

2. Colour the words that are about active transport:

You should colour the following bubbles:
* ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) – This is the energy source used.
* Higher concentration to a lower concentration – *Wait, this is incorrect for active transport.* Active transport goes against the gradient (Low to High). So, do not colour this one. Let's re-read carefully.
* Active Transport moves substances from Low to High concentration.
* Passive Transport (Diffusion/Osmosis) moves substances from High to Low concentration.
* Therefore, the bubble "Higher concentration to a lower concentration" describes passive transport. Do not colour it.
* The bubble "Lower concentration to a higher..." is cut off in the image, but based on the visible text "Lower concentration", this refers to the starting point of active transport. However, looking at the other options:
* Requires energy: Yes, active transport needs energy.
* Active transport: Yes, obviously.
* Cell membrane: Yes, transport happens across the cell membrane.
* Osmosis: No, this is passive transport of water.
* Does not...: Likely says "Does not require energy". No, active transport does require energy.

Let's look at the specific bubbles visible and legible:
1. ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate): Yes. Active transport uses ATP for energy.
2. Higher concentration to a lower concentration: No. This is diffusion/passive transport.
3. Cell membrane: Yes. Transport proteins are located in the cell membrane.
4. Osmosis: No. This is passive transport.
5. Requires energy: Yes. This is the main feature of active transport.
6. Lower concentration to a higher... (partially visible): Yes. This describes the direction of active transport (against the gradient).
7. Does not... (partially visible, likely "require energy"): No.
8. Active transport: Yes.

So, the words/concepts to colour are:
* ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)
* Requires energy
* Active transport
* Cell membrane (Contextually relevant as the location)
* Lower concentration to a higher [concentration] (The bubble starting with "Lower concentration")

*Note: In many simple worksheets, "Cell membrane" might be considered neutral since all transport happens there, but ATP, Requires Energy, and the Low->High direction are the key defining features.*

Final Answer:
1. Sentence Completion:
Active transport is the movement of molecules from a low concentration to a high concentration.

2. Words to Colour:
* ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)
* Requires energy
* Active transport
* Lower concentration to a higher [concentration] (The bubble at the bottom left)
* *(Optional depending on teacher's strictness: Cell membrane)*
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of passive transport worksheets.
