Part 2: Passive and Active Transport 8.1 Cellular Transport Part 2: Passive and Active Transport
Passive Transport Some things can pass through the plasma membrane by diffusion Water, lipids
Passive Transport Some things are too big or won’t pass through the bilipid layer Transport proteins can let through if going with concentration gradient Facilitated diffusion Sugars, amino acids
Passive Transport
Active Transport Movement of materials through a membrane against concentration gradient Uses energy
Active Transport
Transport of large particles Endocytosis – cell surrounds and takes in particles from outside Exocytosis – materials moved out of the cell
