Active process
|
Require ATP to get work done
|
Passive process
|
Do not require the cell to expend energy because the kinetic energy of the particles causes them to move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
|
Diffusion
|
Movement of molecules or ions by kinetic energy from their greater concentration to their lesser concentration until equilibrium is reached
|
Osmosis
|
Movement of water molecules by diffusion across a selectively permeable membrane, movement is from a hypotonic solution into a hypertonic solution, water moves until equilibrium is reached
|
Facilitated diffusion
|
Movement of a substance down its concentration gradient using a transmembrane protein for support
|
Filtration
|
Flow of liquid through the pores of a filter or plasma membrane, movement due to hydrostatic pressure
|
Active transport
|
Movement of a substance against its concentration gradient using a transmembrane protein and ATP for transport
|
Vesicular transport
|
Movement of substance in to or out of a cell using vesicles that form at or fuse with plasma membrane
|
Endocytosis
|
Movement of substances into a cell via vesicles forming at the plasma membrane
|
Phagocytosis
|
A type of endocytosis, specialized movement of solid particles into cell by pseudopodia forming a vesicle around the particles, "cell eating"
|
Pinocytosis
|
A type of endocytosis, drops of fluid brought into a cell by invagination of the plasma membrane forming a small vesicle, "cell drinking"
|
Exocytosis
|
Movement of substances out of a cell via fusion of secretory vesicles with the plasma membrane
