Q

What is Active Transport?

A

the movement of materials against a concentration difference (which requires cellular energy).

Usually conducted by protein ion pumps found in membrane to mediate moving ions in or out allowing for cells to concentrate substances in a particular location. Bulk transport of larger materials can be done by endocytosis or exocytosis.

Q

What is Facilitated Diffusion?

A

the process by which particles move from an area of high concentration to low concentration through special protein channels found the cell membrane (Passive Transport or specific material). An example is Osmosis through aquaporins.

Q

What is an Isotonic solution?

Q

What is Endocytosis?

A

(“Endo” = within) (“cyt” = cell) (“osis” = condition) process of taking material into the cell by infolding the membrane (active transport method)

Q

What is Exocytosis?

A

(“Exo” = outside) (“cyt” = cell) (“osis” = condition) process of releasing large amounts of materials by outfolding a membrane (active transport method)

Q

What is Phagocytosis?

A

(“Phage” = to eat) (“cyt” = cell) (“osis” = condition) type of endocytosis which extensions of cytoplasm surround a particle and package it within a food vacuole, then engulfs it.

White blood cells use this method to “eat” damaged cells.
