A
- Endocytosis
- Exocytosis
2
Q
What are the three types of passive transport?
A
- Simple diffusion
- Facilitated diffusion
- Osmosis
3
Q
What are the two types of endocytosis?
A
- Phagocytosis
- Pinocytosis
4
Q
Describe the process of osmosis
A
- Net movement of water/solvent from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated solution through a partially permeable membrane
5
Q
Define diffusion
A
- The moving of substances from a high concentration to a low concentration until concentrations are equal
6
Q
Explain active transport in animals
A
- Active transport requires ATP
- Requires protein carriers
- Movement of substances (against the concentration gradient)
