Diffusion: ( molecules )
Definition: the net movement of a substance traveling down its concentration gradient
Osmosis
Diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane.
Facilitated Diffusion
Passive transport using membrane proteins for larger molecules.
Active Transport
Movement against gradient using energy (ATP).
Vesicular transport (endocytosis)
Endocytosis is when a cell takes in substances by wrapping them in a membrane and forming a vesicle.
Vesicular transport (exocytosis)
exocytosis is where a cell releases substances by packaging them into vesicles, which then fuse with the cell membrane and expel their contents outside. ![]() |
