Cell Transport Flashcards
semi-permeable membrane
only certain molecules: small, nonpolar
passive transport
no energy, goes down concentration gradient
active transport
used ATP for energy + transport proteins to go against gradient
Diffusion
moves down gradient ,small nonpolar molecules
osmosis
water across semi-permeable membrane
facilitated diffusion
PASSIVE, w/help of transport proteins
Hypertonic
Higher
Hypotonic
lower
isotonic
equal
sodium-potassium pump
maintains electrochemical gradient, 2 Na in + 3 K out
phagocytosis
wrap pseudopodia around particle, creating vacuole to be digested
pinocytosis
“gulps”fluid in vesicles, unspecific
proton pump
transports H ions out of cell; plants, fungi, bacteria
cotransport
indirectly transports other solutes
kinetic molecular theory
molecules in constant motion, tendency to collide and spread out
