Biolgy-Cell Transport Flashcards
membrane transport
movement of molecules (nutrients and waste) across the cell membrane
passive transport
no energy required
active transport
energy required, moves substances across concentration gradient
simple difusion
molecules move down the concentration gradient through the phospholipid bilayer
facilitated difusion
uses transport proteins, allows larger or polar molecules to move across the membrane
channel proteins
pores or tunnels open for passage (h20 in and out)
carrier proteins
molecules bind to protein, protein changes shape to move molecule across membrane
pumps
carrier proteins that require energy
vesicles
move large substances in and out of the cell
endocyclis
moves in
endocytosis
moves out
what is osmosis
facilitated diffusion of free water molecules
what happens during osmosis
free water molecules move down the concentration gradient to an area with low concentration of water molecules. it binds to ions and polar substances
hypotonic
outside of cell has lower solute concentration than inside of it
hypertonic
outside of cell has higher solute concentration than insde of it
