non-permeable materials: __________
transport mechanisms
H2O, CO2, O2, NH3, cholesterol
ions, mid to large polar molecules, amino acids, proteins and polysaccharides
45
2 categories of transport mechanism
passive active
46
____________: Do not require the cell to do work for the substance to enter or leave the cell
- Instead the energy involved comes from the kinetic energy of the molecules in solution
3 types:
passive
a. Simple diffusion
b. Osmosis
c. Facilitated diffusion
47
_________: Involve the cell to use cellular energy usually in the form of ATP to power special protein pumps
active
a. Active transport
b. Filtration
c. Exocytosis
d. Endocytosis
- Phagocytosis
- Pinocytosis
48
- The movement of molecules (solutes) from an area of a higher concentration to an area of lower concentration; a very slow process but may be an effective transport mechanism across microscopic distances
diffusion
49
Factors affecting Rate of Diffusion:
1. Agitation
2. Temperature
3. Size of particles
4. Molecular weight of particles
5. Concentration gradient
50

osmosis
51

hypotonic solution (bloat)
isotonic solution
hypertonic solution (shrinkage)
52
a type of passive transport that allows substances to cross membranes with the assistance of special transport proteins
Facilitated Diffusion
53
- Requires ATP to move molecules (solutes) from an area of lesser concentration to an area of greater concentration
- Observes a movement against concentration gradient
Active Transport
54
- The process of filtration also requires energy, but the energy does not come directly from ATP, instead, mechanical pressure
- Water and dissolved materials are forced through a membrane from an area of higher pressure to lower pressure
filtration
55
- a process by which cells absorb molecules (such as proteins) by engulfing them.
- It is used by all cells of the body because most substances important to them are large polar molecules that cannot pass through the hydrophobic plasma or cell membrane.
endocytosis
56
2 types of endocytosis
phagocytosis
pinocytosis
57
- The mechanism used by many protists (e.g. amoeba) to acquire nutrients
- In humans and other multicellular animals phagocytosis is an important defense mechanism against infection
phagocytosis
58
Process of taking in fluid together with its contents into the cell by forming narrow channels through its membrane that pinch off into vesicles, and fuse with lysosomes tha hydrolyze or break down contents
pinocytosis
59
- is the durable process by which a cell directs the contents of secretory vesicles out of the cell membrane.
- These membrane-bound vesicles contain soluble proteins to be secreted to the extracellular environment, as well as membrane proteins and lipids that are sent to become components of the cell membrane.
