Cellular Transport

Question 1

What is Cellopolis?

Answer 1

Cellopolis: cell transportation; how cells send and receive things from other cells and its environment

Question 2

What does the cell membrane do?

Answer 2

It regulates the flow of substances in and out of a cell

Question 3

What are the two types of transport?

Answer 3

Passive and active

Question 4

How does passive transportation work?

Answer 4

1. By diffusion: Molecules need to separate when there’s too many of them
2. Stuff needs to move in and out, they need an exit: the cell provides a tunnel through the membrane bilayer (channel: allows one specific material in (facilitated diffusion))

Question 5

How does active transportation work?

Answer 5

1. Cellopolis sends materials through golgi bodies: golgi bodies do the same by packaging materials into vesicles and sending them to the membrane
2. Membrane dissolves an exit for materials: they leave the cell ((exocytosis) opposite; endocytosis)

Question 6

What do pump channels do?

Answer 6

They do the opposite of diffusion, they also require energy to force things into crowded areas

Question 7

What does exo and endo mean?

Answer 7

Exo = outside
Endo = inside
