Active and passive transport

What are examples of passive transport

• Simple diffusion

• Exocytosis

• Osmosis

• Facilitated diffusion

• Endocytosis

What is diffusion

• A net process of a molecule moving from a high concentration to low concentration

• A net process of a molecule moving from a low concentration to high concentration

• A movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from high to low water concentration

What is active transport

• A process of a movement of molecules from a high to low concentration that doesn’t use energy

• A process of movement of molecules from a low to high concentration that uses energy

What are types of active transport

• Endocytosis

• Exocytosis

• Diffusion

• Osmosis

What is passive transport

• A process of water molecule movements

• A molecule transport that uses energy

• A process of a movement of molecules from a high to low concentration that doesn’t use energy

What is exocytosis

• the fusion of secretory vesicles with the plasma membrane discharging vesicle content

• A process when cells absorb external item by engulfing them

What is endocytosis

• A process when the secretory vesicles eject the items they absorbed

• A process when cells absorb external item by engulfing them

• A movement process when water molecules go from high to low concentration
