Membrane Transport Flashcards
refers tothe movement of particles (solute) across or through a membranous barrier
membrane transport
Type of Membrane Transport
Passive
Active
type of membrane transport that does not require energy to move substances across cell membranes.
passive transport
Types of Passive Transport
Diffusion
Facillitated Diffusion
Osmosis
the movement of molecules or ions across a cell membrane from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration—against the concentration gradient.
Requires cellular energy to achieve this movement
Active Transport
Types of Active Transport
Primary & Secondary Active Transport
Endocytosis & Exocytosis
The outermost component of cell and forms the boundary between material inside and outside material
Cell membrane
Acting as a barrier that determined what moves into and out of the cell
Cell membrane
Cell membrane consist of
Extracellular substances
Intracellular substances
It is which a cell membrane have that allows only certain substances to pass in and out of the cell
Selective Permeability
Some materials can pass through while others are excluded
Selectively Permeable Barrier
High Concentration Inside the Cell
Enzymes
Glycogen
Potassium
High Concentration Outside the Cell
Sodium
Calcium
Chloride
involved in the movement of substance both entry and exit in the cell. They transport substances without binding to them and without spending energy
Transmembrane Protein Channel
It is substance that can pass directly through the cell membrane’s phospholipid bilayer
O2
CO2
In cell membrane some substances must pass through? Like?
Transmembrane protein channel
Na+
Route of transport through the membrane depends on
Size
Shape
Charge of substance
What do glucose required to be transported across the cell membrane
Carrier molecules
Some substances also require ____ across the membrane
Vesicular Transport
It must fuse with the cell membrane for transport
Vesicle
Membrane Characteristics
Selectively Permeable
Asymmetric
Amphiphilic
2 Basic Methods of Movement Through Cell Membrane
Passive Transport
Active Transport
Homogeneous mixture of two or more components
Solution
Example of Solution
Air
Fluid of Plasma Membrane
Seawater
Rubbing alcohol
Disolving medium
Typically water in the body
Solvent
Components in smaller quantities within a solution
Solute
The difference in the concentration of a solute in a solvent between two points divided by the distance between the two points
Concentration Gradient
