Q

Describe the passive transport

A

Requires no energy from the cell, always goes from an area of higher concentration from one of lower concentration, it’s divided by three types of passive transport

Q

The osmosis is…

A

The diffusion of water through a semi-permeable membrane, like the cell membrane, it involves solute and water, it has tree types of solutions.

Q

In what consist the primary active transport?

A

Consist in use the ATP to move molecules through the membrane, it expends energy to move sodium ions out and replace them with potassium ions to maintain positive charged the cell

16
Q

What is the secondary active transport?

A

Molecules are moved through a membrane as a result of the diffusion of another substance.

17
Q

What is endocytosis?

A

The import of materials to the cell by foldings of the cell membrane, there are three types of endocytosis.

18
Q

The three types of endocytosis are…

A

Phagocytosis, Pinocytosis and receptor mediated Endocytosis.

19
Q

What is the Phagocytosis?

A

Is the process when the cell engulf solid particles like food by the cell membrane to form a food vacuole

20
Q

What is pinocytosis?

A

Is the process when every substance found in the invagination area is brought to the cell

21
Q

What is the receptor mediated endocytosis?

A

Is a process when cells internalize molecules and viruses involves the vesicles.

22
Q

What is exocytosis?

A

Is the reverse of endocytosis, they produce secretion, the cell trow out proteins or secretive proteins to regulate the cell by vesicles
