Transport through Cell Membrane Flashcards
transport that does not require
the cell to expend energy
Passive membrane transport
does require the
cell to expend energy, usually in the form of ATP
Active membrane transport
diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated
diffusion are under what transport mechanism
Passive membrane transport
active transport, secondary active transport,
endocytosis, and exocytosis are under
Active membrane transport
movement from high concentration to a low
concentration
Diffusion
the difference in the
concentration of a solute in a solvent between
two points divided by the distance between the
two points
concentration gradient
Class of cell membrane channels that constantly allow ions to pass through.
Leak channels
limit the movement of ions across the membrane by opening and closing
Gated channels
the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane from a region of higher water concentration to one of lower water concentration
Osmosis
a process that that brings
materials into cell using vesicles
Endocytosis
often used for endocytosis when
solid particles are ingested
Phagocytosis
has much smaller vesicles formed,
and they contain liquid rather than solid
particles
Pinocytosis
involves the use of membrane-bound
sacs called secretory vesicles that accumulate
materials for release from the cel
Exocytosis
