Answer to Question 1

ANS: D, E
Glucose and oxygen require facilitated diffusion to cross the placenta. Carbon dioxide and fatty acids move by simple diffusion. Globulins move via pinocytosis and endocytosis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, E
Several mechanisms exist to transport substances across the placenta. These include passive or simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, active diffusion, pinocytosis, endocytosis, bulk flow, accidental capillary breaks, and independent movement.
