Cell Transport Flashcards
Movement of solutes from higher to lower concentrations via a semipermeable membrane
Simple/Passive diffusion
Passage of O2 and N2, H2O and glycerol
Simple diffusion
Passage of molecules from higher to lower concentrations using channels. No ATP required
Facilitated diffusion
Passage of molecules from lower to higher concentrations. Always require ATP
Active transport
Type of active transport that uses ATP directly to transport solutes
Primary active transport
Type of active transport that uses stored energy of an electrochemical gradient.
Secondary active transport
Types of secondary active transport
Cotransport/symport
Countertrasport/antiport
Glucose transport which is insulin mediated
GLUT-4
Glucose trasporter of fructose
GLUT-5
Active trasporter of Glucose in kidneys
SGLT-1
Flow of water across a semipermeable membrane from low solute concentration to higher solute concentration
Osmosis
