1
New cards

Diffusion

movement of smaller insoluble substance from high - low concentration to achieve even distribution

straight through cell membrane

2
New cards

Facilitated Diffusion

transport through cell membrane with the help of a carrier or channel protein for bigger insoluble substances

type of carrier-mediated transport

3
New cards

carrier-mediated transport

a transport process that combines a chemical reaction with a diffusion process. •CARRIER proteins in the cell membrane bind to molecules to be transported across the membrane

the two types are:

  • Facilitated diffusion

  • Active transport

4
New cards

Osmosis

Diffusion of water substance from high to low concentration through a cell's partially permeable membrane.

5
New cards

Passive transport

Doesn’t require energy to perform

high - low concentrations

6
New cards

vesicular transport

The movement of substances across membraneous bags called vesicles

Four types

  • Exocytosis

  • Endocytosis

  • Phagocytosis

  • Pinocytosis

7
New cards

Exocytosis

Taking minerals out of the cell by vesicular transport

8
New cards

Endocytosis

Taking minerals into the cell by vesicular transport

Two types

  • Phagocytosis

  • Pinocytosis

9
New cards

Phagocytosis

When the vesicles contain solid particles

10
New cards

Pinocytosis

When the vesicles contain liquid particles

11
New cards

Active transport

Type of carrier-mediated transport

low - high concerntration
