Diffusion
Passive movement of molecules down a concentration gradient
1 of 12
Facilitated Diffusion
Passive movement of molecules down a concentration gradient via transport proteins
2 of 12
Channel Proteins
Proteins lined with polar groups allowing ions to pass through
3 of 12
Carrier Proteins
Proteins that contain a binding site for larger molecules to attach to
4 of 12
Active Transport
Active movement of molecules against a concentration gradient via carrier proteins. Requires ATP.
5 of 12
Factors affecting the rate of diffusion (6)
the concentration gradient, thickness of exchange surface, surface area of the membrane, size of the molecule, nature of the molecule and temperature
6 of 12
Co-transport
A type of facilitated diffusion that brings molecules and ions into cells on the same transport protein
7 of 12
Endocytosis
Material is engulfed, forming a vesicle
8 of 12
Phagocytosis
The uptake of solid material thats too large to diffuse in
9 of 12
Pinocytosis
The uptake of liquid
10 of 12
Exocytosis
The process by which substances leave the cell
11 of 12
Bulk Transport
The active process of endocytosis and exocytosis
