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