Cell Transport - Active vs. Passive Transport Flashcards
1
Q
Passive Transport
A
- NO energy is required
- Movement along the concentration gradient. (high to low)
- Simple Diffusion
- Movement of particles across the selectively permeable membrane.
- Facilitated Diffusion
- Movement through a protein channel to help facilitate movement of large molecules.
- Osmosis
- Movement of water.
2
Q
Active Transport
A
- Energy IS required
- Movement against the concentration gradient. (low to high)
- Movement has to go through a protein channel/pump.
