*Unit 3 Part 5: Cell Transport Flashcards
Cells, Cell Transport, & Mitosis
Diffusion
Small particles moving from high to low concentration directly through the cell membrane.
Facilitated diffusion
Large particles moving from high to low concentration through a transport protein.
Osmosis
Water moving from areas of high to low concentration through a semi-permeable membrane.
Generic active transport
ATP used to move particles from low to high concentration through a transport protein.
Exocytosis
Vesicles surround particles and move them out of the cell.
Endocytosis
Membrane pinched inward to bring particles into the cell.
