Movement into and out of cells

  • Passive transport: movement of molecules across the cell membrane without energy input

  • Active transport: movement of molecules across the cell membrane with energy input

  • Diffusion: movement of molecules from high to low concentration

  • Osmosis: diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane

    • Passive Transport: movement of molecules from high to low concentration without energy input

    • Active Transport: movement of molecules from low to high concentration with energy input

    • Diffusion: passive transport of small, nonpolar molecules across the cell membrane

    • Osmosis: passive transport of water across the cell membrane from high to low concentration

    • Endocytosis: active transport of large molecules into the cell via vesicles

    • Exocytosis: active transport of large molecules out of the cell via vesicles

    • Facilitated Diffusion: passive transport of large or charged molecules across the cell membrane with the help of transport proteins

    • Sodium-Potassium Pump: active transport of ions against their concentration gradient to maintain cell homeostasis.
