Study Notes
Types of Cellular Transport
- Simple Diffusion: Movement of molecules from high concentration to low concentration areas without energy or transport proteins.
- Characteristics: No energy required, no transport proteins involved, moves from high to low concentration.
Assisted Cellular Transport
- Facilitated Diffusion: Movement of molecules across the membrane via specific transport proteins, no energy required.
- Key feature: Involves transport proteins, but no energy is needed.
Water Transport
- Osmosis: Diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane from low solute concentration to high solute concentration areas.
- Direction: Water moves from low solute concentration to high solute concentration areas.
Energy-Dependent Transport
- Active Transport: Movement of molecules against their concentration gradient, requiring energy in the form of ATP and transport proteins.
- Key feature: Energy from ATP is required to move molecules against their concentration gradient.
