What is simple diffusion And and what are its characteristics?
passive
from high to low conc
doesn’t need transport protien
What are some examples of materials that pass using simple diffusion
Dissolved gases such as O2 and CO2
And lipid soluble molecules such as steroids fatty acids and alcohols
what is facilitated diffusion and what are its characteristics
Passive
from high to low concentration gradient
requires transport protein
What are some examples of materials that use facilitated diffusion
Water soluble molecules and ions
what is primary active transport and what are its characteristics
It’s it’s active it directly uses ATP
From low to high concentration gradient
what is secondary active transport and what are its characteristics
active (indirectly uses atp) (piggybacks on another molecule that is using primary active transport)
What is endocytosis?
uptake of substances into the cell
what are the types of endocytosis?
pinocytosis
phagocytosis
What is pinocytosis?
The process where water and other materials get surrounded by vesciles and released inside the cell
