Cell Transport

Front

What is the process called when solutes move with the concentration gradient without using energy?

Back

Passive Transport

Front

What is the term for the movement of substances against the concentration gradient, requiring energy?

Back

Active Transport

Front

What is the process called when substances are taken into a cell?

Back

Endocytosis

Front

What type of transport does osmosis represent?

Back

Passive Transport

Front

What is the term for the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane?

Back

Osmosis

Front

What is the difference between passive and active transport?

Back

Passive transport does not require energy and moves substances with the concentration gradient, while active transport requires energy to move substances against the gradient.

Front

What is facilitated diffusion?

Back

A type of passive transport that uses transport proteins to help move substances across the cell membrane.

Front

What is exocytosis?

Back

The process by which a cell expels materials in vesicles.

Front

What role do carrier proteins play in cell transport?

Back

Carrier proteins assist in the movement of substances across the cell membrane, particularly in facilitated diffusion and active transport.

Front

What is the significance of the concentration gradient in cell transport?

Back

The concentration gradient drives the movement of substances; substances move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration in passive transport.
