Mechanisms of Transport

This regulates what comes in and out of the cell.

• Interstitial Fluid

• Cytosol

• Plasma Membrane

• Protein Molecules

This is the outside section of the cell.

• Interstitial Fluid

• Cytosol

• Plasma Membrane

• Protein Molecules

This major type of transport mechanism works without the expense of energy.

• Passive Transport

• Active Transport

A type of passive transport that spread out the molecule with regards to the concentration gradient.

• Simple Diffusion

• Facilitated Diffusion

• Osmosis

A passive transport mechanism of water through selectively permeable membrane.

• Simple Diffusion

• Facilitated Diffusion

• Osmosis

An active transport that utilize ion pumps which assist ion across the membrane against the concentration gradient.

• Primary Active Transport

• Secondary Active Transport

The transport of large substance across the cell membrane with the help of a membranous sac.

• Active Transport

• Vesicular Transport

• Passive Transport

A type of vesicular transport the secretes the vesicle covered material from the cytosol to the interstitial fluid.

• Exocytosis

• Endocytosis

• Passive Transport

This the type of endocytosis is referred to as "cell eating".

• Phagocytosis

• Pinocytosis

• Receptor-mediated endocytosis

This the type of endocytosis is referred to as "cell drinking".

• Phagocytosis

• Pinocytosis

• Receptor-mediated endocytosis
