Cellular Transport Vocabulary

Requires no energy from the cell

• Passive transport

• Active Transport

Requires the cell to use energy

• Passive transport

• Active Transport

Movement of particles against the concentration gradient from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration

• Passive transport

• Active Transport

Chose the three types of passive transport

• Diffusion

• Facilitated Diffusion

• Active Transport

• Osmosis

Choose the three types of active transport

• Active transport

• Endocytosis

• Exocytosis

• Passive Transport

Movement of particles with the concentration gradient, from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration

• Diffusion

• Facilitated Diffusion

• Osmosis

The transport of materials across the cell membrane with the aid of a carrier (transport) protein

• Diffusion

• Facilitated Diffusion

• Osmosis

The diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane

• Diffusion

• Facilitated Diffusion

• Osmosis

Concentration is lower in the solution outside the cell than inside, meaning there is more water on the outside the cell than inside. The cell will swell and possibly burst.

• Hypertonic Solution

• Hypotonic Solution

• Isotonic Solution

Concentration is higher in the solution outside the cell than inside, meaning there is less water on the outside the cell than inside. The cell will shrink and possibly dehydrate.

• Hypertonic Solution

• Hypotonic Solution

• Isotonic Solution
