Cell Transport Concept Map
Passive Transport
Osmosis
Diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane
Simple Diffusion
No ATP/energy required
High Concentration to Low Concentration (With the flow)
Facilitated Diffusion
No ATP/energy required
High Concentration to Low Concentration (With the flow)
Cellular Transport
Maintain Balance (Homeostasis)
Cell Membrane
Phospholipids Bilayer
The phospholipids in the plasma membrane are arranged in two layers, called aphospholipid bilayer.
The phospholipids bilayer's structure contains of hydrophobic tails of phospholipid molecules are inbetween two layers of hydrophilic heads.
Proteins
Integral
Channeling or transporting molecules across the membrane.
Peripheral
The peripheral membrane proteins function in support, communication, enzymes, and molecule transfer in the cell.
Cholesterol
At high temperatures, cholesterol acts to stabilize the cell membrane and increase its melting point; while at low temperatures, it inserts into phospholipids and prevents them from interfering with each other to avoid aggregation.
Carbohydrates
Helping cells recognize each other and providing protection for cells.
Exocytosis
Means of removing wastes from the cell
Active Transport
Endocytosis
Pinocytosis
Used for eliminating small liquid solutes
Phagocytosis
Used for eliminating small solid substances
Protein Pump
Energy/ATP required
Low to High Concentration (Against the flow)
Isotonic
When the solution is in equilibrium
Hypotonic
Solution lower solute concentration
Hypertonic
Solution higher solute concentration
Tonacity
The concentration of the solution
