Types of Transport
2 Different Types Passive Active No energy input to move substances Requires energy to move substances
Passive Transport Diffusion Molecules and ions can move across a membrane down their concentration gradient High concentration to low concentration 2 types Simple diffusion Unassisted (true of fats, oxygen, CO2) Osmosis: diffusion of water Facilitated diffusion Must have a protein to help them cross
Passive Transport Filtration Hydrostatic gradient Pressure moves the substances much like a hole in a water balloon squirts out water
Active Transport Solute Pumping Bulk transport Proteins use ATP to force substances where they need to be Bulk transport Into the cell: endocytosis Out of the cell: exocytosis
