1 Cellular Transport

2 Active and Passive Transport
It is important for cells to control what enters and exits the cell. There are two main types of cell transport: Passive transport- does not require energy Active transport- requires energy in the form of ATP

3 Passive Transport When a cell uses no energy to move particles across a membrane passive transport occurs. Particles go DOWN their concentration gradient. Diffusion & osmosis are passive transport. Passive Transport goes from a high to a low area of concentration. Plasma membrane Concentration gradient

4 Active Transport Active transport :Movement of materials through a membrane. It goes against a concentration gradient and requires energy from the cell. Active Transport goes from a low to high area of concentration Plasma membrane Concentration gradient

5 How can I remember this? Passive Transport
because you don’t need to use any energy to go down the hill…just relax! Active Transport because you use energy to go up the hill by pedaling. High High Low Low

6 Types of Active Transport
Endocytosis is a process by which a cell surrounds and takes in material from its environment. Exocytosis is the expulsion or secretion of materials from a cell.

7 A great way to remember which is which is to think:
“Endo” sounds like “in” or “enter” “Exo” sounds like “exit” A great way to remember which is which is to think:
