Bone Lab Flashcards
Diffusion
Movement of molecules or ions by kinetic energy from their greater to lesser concentration.
Passive process and examples
Do not use ATP
Ex. Diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion, filtration.
Osmosis
Movement of water molecules by diffusion across a selective permeable membrane. Moves from hypo tonic to hypertonic, move until equilibrium is reached.
Facilitated diffusion
Movement of a substance down its concentration gradient using a transmembrane protein for transport.
Filtration
Flow of liquid through the pores of a filter or plasma membrane.
Active processes and examples
Cell uses ATP to move substances across the plasma membrane.
Ex. Active transport, vesicular transport, endocytosis, phagocytosis, pinocytosis, exocytosis.
Active transport
Movement of a substance against its concentration gradient using a transmembrane protein and ATP.
Vesicular transport
Movement of a substance in to or out of a cell using vesicles that form or fuse with the plasma membrane.
Endocytosis
Movement of substances into a cell via vesicles forming at the plasma membrane.
Phagocytosis
A type of endocytosis; specialized movement of solid particles into a cell by pseudo podia forming a vesicle around the particles “cell eating”
Pinocytosis
A type of endocytosis; drops of fluid brought into a cell by invagination of the palms membrane forming a small vesicle “cell drinking”
