Resource summary
Cell Transport
Types of transport
Passive Transport
The movement of materials across the cell membrane without using cellular energy
Diffusion
The process by which particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration.
Facilitated Diffusion
The process in which molecules that cannot directly diffuse across the membrane pass through special:
Protein Channels.
This happens because proteins in the cell membrane act as carriers, or channels, making it easy for certain molecules to cross.
Osmosis
Diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane
Aquaporins:
Water channels that allow water to pass right through the channel proteins.
Isotonic
The concentration of solutes is the same inside and outside the cell.
Hypertonic
The solution has a higher solute concentration than the cell.
Hypotonic
The solution has a lower concentration than the cell.
Active Transport
Molecular Transport
Small molecules and ions are carried across membranes by proteins in the membrane that act like pumps.
Bulk Transport
Large molecules and solid clumps of material are transport by movements of the cell membrane.
Exocytosis
Cells release large amounts of material.
Endocytosis
Is the process of taking material into the cell.
The movement of materials against a concentration difference.
Calssification according to the requirement of energ
Passive Transport: without using celular energy.
Active Transport requires energy
