Types Of Cellular Transport

Question 0

Osmosis

Answer 0

A type of diffusion by which water particles move move areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration through a membrane.

Question 1

Diffusion

Answer 1

The spontaneous movement by which particles move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration.

•A type of passive transport.
   - Moves with concentration gradient.
   - Doesn't require energy from the            
cell.
• Applies to all particles.

Question 2

Facilitated Diffusion

Answer 2

A form of diffusion in which molecules move across cell membranes by binding to carrier proteins.

Question 3

Active Transport

Answer 3

The movement of particles across a membrane against the concentration gradient. Requires energy from the cell in the form of ATP.

Question 4

Exocytosis

Answer 4

The release of molecules from a vesicles that fuses with the cell membrane to export the molecules from the cell.

Question 5

Endocytosis

Answer 5

The uptake of particles by the cell by the formation of a vesicle from the cell membrane.

Question 6

Passive Transport

Answer 6

Movement of material where no added energy is required for it to occur.
