Q

Cell membrane structure

A
  • Phospholipid bylayer
  • Contains protein for strength and transport & receptors
  • Has carbs to assist in membrane structure
  • Cholesterol for membrane strength

Q

Facilitated diffusion

A
  • passive transport process
  • Like diffusion but needs protein carrier in the cell membrane
  • moves Large molecules and charged atoms

Q

Exocytosis

A
  • Active transport process
  • The cell removing a larger particles
  • Used during secretion when the cells send out new hormones or Neurotransmitters

Q

Active transport

A
  • Active transport process
  • Use energy in ATP
  • requires a protein carrier in membrane
  • moves ion against a concentration low to high
  • Na/K pump
