Q 1 : What are the differences between active & passive transport?
A 1 : Active transport Needs energy from ATP Transport against chemical / electrical gradient Passive transport Does not need energy Molecules move randomly along a concentration gradient
Facilitated diffusion Passive transport Solvent diffusion Facilitated diffusion Osmosis Solvent drag
OSMOSIS
ACTIVE Primary Secondary Exocytosis Endocytosis
What is the difference between primary & secondary active transport? Q : What is the difference between primary & secondary active transport? A : Primary active transport directly uses ATP while secondary active transport indirectly needs energy.
Exocytosis Endocytosis
ENDOCYTOSIS PINOCYTOSIS PHAGOCYTOSIS Engulf large particles into vesicles PINOCYTOSIS Uptake of fluid & fluid contents
Mechanisms of cell transport Diffusion Membrane proteins Channels Carriers/ Transporters Endocytosis Osmosis Solvent drag
What is Simple diffusion? Q 2: What is Simple diffusion? A 2 : Passive flow of a solute from high concentration to a low concentration due to random movement
Channels & Transporters Specific Can be inhibited Competition between similar molecules Can get saturated
Gated Ion Channels Voltage-gated Ligand-gated Mechanical-gated
Q : What are Aquaporins A : Water channels in certain cell membranes . Eg: red cells, collecting ductules of kidney.
