Transport Accross Membranes Flashcards
1
Q
Facilitated Diffusion
A
Random net movement of molecule from area of high to low concentration using no ATP (passive). Channel protein stretches hydrolytic carrier for ions to pass.
2
Q
Osmosis
A
Passive. Random net movement of molecules from area of high to low water potential through partially permeable membrane.
3
Q
Active Transport
A
Movement of molecule against concentration gradient with carrier proteins (ATP required).
4
Q
Exo/Endocytosis
A
Bulk transport of molecules into cell (endo) and out of cell (exo).
5
Q
Diffusion
A
Passive process. The net movement of molecule from area of high to low concentration. Small non-polar ions only.
