Cell Transport Flashcards
Active
requires energy (ATP)
Vesicular transport
is the movement of substrates across the cell membrane in membranous bags called vesicles
Endocytosis
Is taking liquids or solids into the cell by vesicular transport. This is an active process. The cell membrane folds around a dropplet of liquid or a solid particle. The vesicle so formed then pinches off and is suspended in the cells cytoplasm.
Pinocytosis
process during endocytosis when liquids are taken into the cell
Phagocytosis
process during endocytosis when the particles taken into the cell contain solid particles
Exocytosis
is when the contents of a vesicle inside the cell and passed to the outside
Diffusion
the movement of a liquid or gas so that they can be distributed evenly over the available space from a higher concentration to a lower concentration.
Osmosis
the diffusion of water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration.
Passive
doesn’t require energy (ATP)
Carrier Mediated
means a carries protein transports specific irons across the membrane
Carrier Mediated Facilitated Diffusion
(passive- no energy) -> carrier protein which sucks in/pushes out and causes a change in shape of GLUCOSE
Carrier Mediated Active
(required energy + ATP) -> moves from L to H against concentration gradient, this energy from mitochondria and all respiration
Simple Diffusion eg
perfume (channel protein)
Facilitated diffusion eg
carrier protein - passive (active ATP )
