Cell Transport Mechanisms Explained

The video tutorial from MooMooMath explains cell transport, focusing on passive and active transport methods. Passive transport, like diffusion and osmosis, moves substances from high to low concentration without energy. Active transport requires energy to move substances against the concentration gradient, using methods like pumps, endocytosis, and exocytosis. The video provides analogies and examples to clarify these concepts.

What are the two main types of cell transport?

• Endocytosis and Exocytosis

• Diffusion and Osmosis

• Pumps and Channels

• Passive and Active Transport

Which type of transport does not require energy?

• Passive Transport

• Exocytosis

• Endocytosis

• Active Transport

In passive transport, substances move from:

• Outside the cell to inside

• Inside the cell to outside

• High concentration to low concentration

• Low concentration to high concentration

What is osmosis specifically the diffusion of?

• Air

• Water

• Nutrients

• Proteins

Active transport requires energy to move substances from:

• High concentration to low concentration

• Outside the cell to inside

• Inside the cell to outside

• Low concentration to high concentration

What is the process called when a cell engulfs substances?

• Diffusion

• Exocytosis

• Osmosis

• Endocytosis

Which process involves a cell expelling substances?

• Diffusion

• Exocytosis

• Endocytosis

• Osmosis
