Cell Transport- ai Flashcards
What is the definition of cell transport?
Cell transport refers to the movement of materials across the cell membrane.
What are the two main types of cell transport?
The two main types of cell transport are passive transport and active transport.
True or False: Passive transport does not require energy input from the cell.
True
Which type of cell transport involves the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration?
Passive transport
What is diffusion?
Diffusion is the passive movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
What is osmosis?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane.
Which type of cell transport requires energy in the form of ATP?
Active transport
What is endocytosis?
Endocytosis is the process by which cells take in large molecules by engulfing them in a vesicle.
What is exocytosis?
Exocytosis is the process by which cells release large molecules by fusing vesicles with the cell membrane.
What is facilitated diffusion?
Facilitated diffusion is the passive movement of molecules across the cell membrane with the help of transport proteins.
Which type of cell transport involves the use of transport proteins to move molecules across the membrane?
Facilitated diffusion
What is the difference between simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion?
Simple diffusion does not require transport proteins, while facilitated diffusion does.
Which type of cell transport is responsible for the movement of ions against their concentration gradient?
Active transport
What is the sodium-potassium pump an example of?
The sodium-potassium pump is an example of active transport.
Which type of cell transport maintains the cell’s internal environment by controlling what enters and exits the cell?
Cell transport
