Types of Transport Review
The movement of particles against the direction of diffusion requiring cell energy. ACTIVE TRANSPORT
True or False? During diffusion molecules tend to move down the concentration gradient. TRUE
DIFFUSION
General transport method by which most molecules move across the membrane. DIFFUSION
A difference in concentration across a cell’s membrane. CONCENTRATION GRADIENT
Endocytosis of solid substances like bacteria and food. PHAGOCYTOSIS
FACILITATED DIFFUSION
A liquid mixture that involves the combination of a solvent with a solute. SOLUTION
Active transport of molecules out of a cell. EXOCYTOSIS
HYPERTONIC
The movement of particles from high to low concentration. DIFFUSION
An equal amount of a substance inside the cell and the environment the cell is living in. ISOTONIC
OSMOSIS
The diffusion of water across a cell membrane. OSMOSIS
Endocytosis of liquids. PINOCYTOSIS
Active transport of molecules into a cell. ENDOCYTOSIS
The substance dissolved in the liquid part of the solution. SOLUTE
HYPOTONIC
The movement of a substance from high to low concentration without energy. PASSIVE TRANSPORT
Type of membrane that allows ALL substances to pass through it. PERMEABLE
ACTIVE TRANSPORT
The liquid into which the solute is dissolved. SOLVENT
To be in balance or in a state of equality. EQUILIBRIUM
Type of membrane that allows only SOME substances to pass through it. SEMI-PERMEABLE (selectively)
More solute, less water inside the cell than the environment the cell is living in. HYPOTONIC
A type of membrane that allows NO substances to pass through it. IMPERMEABLE
How does a water molecule enter and exit a cell? OSMOSIS
How do most sugar molecules enter and exit a cell? ACTIVE TRANSPORT
More solute, less water outside the cell than inside the cell. HYPERTONIC
Can you identify two differences between active and passive transport? TYPE OF SUBSTANCES CONCENTRATION GRADIENT ENERGY – YES or NO?
Can you identify the methods of transport that do NOT require energy by the cell? PASSIVE TRANSPORT DIFFUSION OSMOSIS
ISOTONIC
What factors can control the rate of diffusion? TYPE OF MEMBRANE CONCENTRATION GRADIENT SIZE OF SUBSTANCE TEMPERATURE ACTIVITY LEVEL
In what direction do substances naturally travel? HIGH TO LOW CONCENTRATION
What cell structure controls diffusion and osmosis? CELL MEMBRANE
Your life depends on... Active Transport!
