Cellular Transport

Question 1

What is PASSIVE transport

Answer 1

• Passive transport is when particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
• No energy is needed
• Moves across a semi permeable membrane

Question 2

What is ACTIVE transport

Answer 2

• Active transport is when particles move from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration.
• It does require energy
• Moves across a semipermeable membrane.

Question 3

What is DIFFUSION

Answer 3

-The movement of particles across the semipermeable membrane from an area of high concentration to a low concentration. It does not need energy

Question 4

What is FACILITATED transportation

Answer 4

-The movement of particles with the help of proteins across a semipermeable membrane from an area of high concentration to a low concentration.

Question 5

What is OSMOSIS

Answer 5

• The movement of water across the semipermeable membrane from an area of high concentration to a low concentration.
• Water keeps moving until the ratio of solvent (particles) to solute (water) the same.

Question 6

An example of ACTIVE transport

Answer 6

Sodium potassium pump- The particles are moving against a concentration gradient, which is an area of low concentration to high concentration, which is why energy (ATP) is needed as it helps them do this process.
