Membrane Transport

Question 1

What is Filtration

Answer 1

The process in which particles are driven through a selectively permeable membrane by water pressure. Occurs at glomeruli and choroid plexuses

Question 2

Simple Diffusion

Answer 2

Movement of particles from areas of high concentration towards areas of low concentration

Question 3

Facilitated Diffusion

Answer 3

Diffusion involving a membrane protein. No ATP required

Question 4

Osmosis

Answer 4

Movement of water from areas of high water concentration towards areas of low water concentration

Question 5

Does Passive Membrane Transport require ATP

Answer 5

No, only Active transport requires ATP

Question 6

Active Transport

Answer 6

Carrier mediated transport of a solute using ATP examples are sodium/potassium pumps in cell membranes

Question 7

Endocytosis

Answer 7

Movement into the cell using vesicles

Question 8

Exocytosis

Answer 8

Movement out of the cell using vesicles
