Answer:

•The cell can obtain calcium from outside the cell through osmosis when the

concentration of solute outside the cell is

more the concentration of solute inside the

cell, ie it can travel across the cell membrane through passive transportation.

•But when the concentration of solute is

less outside the cell than the concentration

inside the cell, then it perform active

transportation.

• In this, membrane proteins

are used to transport solutes from outside

to inside against the gradient. It involves

the use of ATP to move the solute inside the cell.

•For example: Na- K pump.
