3Cells (Transport mechanisms)

Question 1

Most commonly used transport mechanism; high concentration to low

Answer 1

Diffusion

Question 2

Transport mechanism in which water diffuses from an area of high concentration to low; solute can’t diffuse

Answer 2

Osmosis

Question 3

Pressure gradient is driving force for this type of transport

Answer 3

Filtration

Question 4

Transport mechanism that engulfs a solid particle by the cell membrane; type of endocytosis

Answer 4

Phagocytosis

Question 5

Transport mechanism that requires an input of energy to move molecules from low concentration to high

Answer 5

Active Transport Pump

Question 6

Intake of liquid droplets by the cell membrane; also called cellular drinking

Answer 6

Pinocytosis

Question 7

Passive transport mechanism in which glucose is helped across cell membrane by a helper molecule

Answer 7

Facilitated Diffusion

Question 8

Protein containing vesicle within a cell fuses with the cell membrane and ejects protein

Answer 8

Exocytosis
