Diffusions Flashcards
Active diffusion
Uses energy
Movement of a substance across a membrane against concentration
Solute pump
Transports amino acids and others against concentration
Exocytosis
Moves substances out of cells
Endocytosis
Engulfs extracellar substances in small membrane vesicles
Phagocytosis
“Cell eating “
Engulfs cells
Pinocytosis
“Cell drinking “
Filtration
The process by which water and solutes are forced through a membrane by Fluid or pressure
Facilitated diffusion
Molecules too large to go through, uses protein carrier
Simple diffusion
Unassisted diffusion of solutes through the plasma membrane
Bulk transport
Transports substances that are too big for the plasma membrane to go through
Passive diffusion
Doesn’t use energy
A carrier for bigger proteins/minerals that can’t get through the cell membrane
