Cell Transport

Exocytosis is the process by which large molecules exit a cell by being packaged in vesicles that fuse with the cell membrane.

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the molecule that provides energy for Active Transport.

Endocytosis is the process by which a cell takes in large molecules by engulfing them with the cell membrane.

Molecules move from high concentration to low concentration during diffusion.

The Cell Membrane is responsible for maintaining homeostasis by regulating what enters and exits the cell.

Facilitated diffusion is the process of passive transport of molecules across a cell membrane via specific transmembrane proteins.

Phagocytosis is a type of endocytosis where a cell engulfs large particles or cells.

Pinocytosis is a type of endocytosis where a cell takes in liquid from the surrounding environment.

Active Transport requires energy (ATP) to move substances against their concentration gradient, while Passive Transport does not require energy and moves substances along their concentration gradient.

Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.
