Q

Passive Transport doesn’t use cell energy, instead it uses:

A

diffusion, facilitated diffusion and osmosis

17
Q

Active Transport uses cell energy with:

A

protein pumps, endocytosis and exocytosis

18
Q

What is endocytosis?

A

a process by which cells absorb external material by engulfing it with the cell membrane (wrap around the birthday cake)

19
Q

What is exocytosis?

A

the process by which cells move materials from within the cell into the extracellular fluid (ATP breaks to create energy and move material)

20
Q

What is a protein pump?

A

transmembrane proteins, which are involved in the active transport of ions across the membrane against the concentration gradient

21
Q

What is Facilitated Diffusion

A

is a type of diffusion in which the molecules move from the region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration assisted by a carrier Assisted by a carrier - bicycle downhill

22
Q

What is Osmosis

A

osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a solution with a high concentration of water molecules to a solution with a lower concentration of water molecules, through a cell’s partially permeable membrane. Waterslide downhill

23
Q

Which part of the cell membrane is hydrophobic?

A

Tail

24
Q

Which part of the cell membrane is hydrophilic?

A

Head
