Transport across the plasma membrane

Question 1

Simple diffusion

Answer 1

movement of an ion or a molecule from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
Uses kinetic energy of the solute molecules.

Question 2

Osmosis

Answer 2

diffusion of a water molecule through a membrane, using energy

Question 3

Facilitated diffusion

Answer 3

movement of an ion or molecule across a membrane from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration with assistance of a transmembrane protein.

Question 4

Filtration

Answer 4

movement of both solvent(water) and solutes (ions and molecules) through the small opening of the plasma membrane. Occurs from higher pressure to lower pressure.

Question 5

Active Transport

Answer 5

movement of an ion or molecule across a membrane from lower concentration to higher concentration with the assistance of a transmembrane protein.
Uses force

Question 6

Vesicular Transport

Answer 6

group of related process for moving large numbers of molecules or solid particles.

Question 7

Endocytosis

Answer 7

something moving into the cell

Question 8

Exocytosis

Answer 8

something moving out of the cell
