QUARTER 2 (2nd PPT) Transports Mechanisms in Cells Flashcards
It is the movement of ions and molecules across the cell membrane without requiring energy.
Passive transport
is the movement of molecules across a membrane from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration
Active Transport
process resulting from random motion of molecules by which there is a net flow of matter from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration.
Diffusion
the spontaneous passage of water or other solvents through a semipermeable membrane
Osmosis
Movement of large molecules in and out of the cell with the help of a transporting organelle in cells.
Vesicular Transport
Movement of solutes to an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
SIMPLE DIFFUSION
Happens when there is a difference in the concentration of nonpolar solutes across a cell membrane.
Example
O2
CO2
Fatty acids
SIMPLE DIFFUSION IN CELLS
Difference in concentration of polar solutes between 2 areas.
Example:
ions
glucose
FACILITATED DIFFUSION
2 TYPES
1. Channel mediated diffusion
a. Leak Channel
b. Gated Channel
2. Carrier mediated diffusion
FACILITATED DIFFUSION
The channel is always open
LEAK CHANNEL
The channel is open when needed
GATED CHANNEL
The channel is Opening changes shape
Carrier Mediated Diffusion
Passive movement of solvent through a selectively permeable membrane
OSMOSIS
The 2s OSMOSIS ACROSS A CELL MEMBRANE
Lipid bilayer
Aquaporin – Protein Channel
Requires cellular energy
2 Types
