Transport Flashcards
1
Q
types of passive transport
A
- diffusion
- facilitated diffusion
- osmosis
- filtration
- NO ENERGY REQUIRED
2
Q
facilitated diffusion
A
- diffusion of larger molecules across a membrane using carrier proteins
- ex) glucose using protein
3
Q
osmosis
A
- movement of molecules through a semipermeable membrane from less concentrated to higher concentrated
- ex) absorption of water by small intestine
4
Q
diffusion
A
- movement of molecules from region of high concentration to low concentration
- ex) o2 from blood cells to muscles
5
Q
filtration
A
- movement of molecules + water across a membrane using cardiovascular pressure
- ex) waste products filtered out of blood into tubules of kidney to be eliminated in urine
6
Q
active transport
A
- from low to high concentration
- energy required! with ATP
7
Q
types of active transport
A
- sodium-potassium pump
- exocytosis
- endocytosis
8
Q
sodium-potassium pump
A
- pump of sodium + potassium ions in opposite direction across a membrane using a chemical energy
- ex) electrical charge in nerve + muscle cells
9
Q
exocytosis
A
- expelling of molecules out of a cell using chemical energy
- ex) secretion of enzymes
10
Q
endocytosis
A
- engulfing of molecules by a cell using chemical energy
- ex) leukocytes consuming bacteria
