Term
diffusion
Definition

passive transportation

 

moving a substance from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration

Term
osmosis
Definition

passive transportation

 

water travels across a membrane from areas that have a low concentration of a solute to areas that have a higher concentration of solute until the concentration is the same on both sides of the membrane

Term
filtration
Definition

passive transportation

 

pressure is applied to force water and dissolved materials through a membrane

Term
facilitated diffusion
Definition

passive transportation

 

sudstance is assisted via carrier molecule in a direction it was already traveling from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration

Term

active transport

pumps

Definition

active transport

 

require additional energy in form of ATP to move substances against the concentration gradient(from low concentrations to high concentrations) using carriers

Term
endocytosis
Definition

active transport

 

moving substances into the cell using vesicles

Term
phagocytosis
Definition

active transport

 

form of endocytosis in which solid particles are being brought into the cell

Term
pinocytosis
Definition

active transport

 

form of endocytosis in which liquid is being brought into the cell

Term
exocytosis
Definition

active transport

 

transportation of material to the outside of the cell using vesicles
