Cell Membrane

Front 1

active transport

Back 1

the movement of ions or molecules across a cell membrane into a region of higher concentration, assisted by enzymes and requiring energy.

Front 2

diffusion

Back 2

The passive movement of molecules or particles along a concentration gradient, or from regions of higher to regions of lower concentration.

Front 3

endocytosis

Back 3

A process in which cell takes in materials from the outside by engulfing and fusing them with its plasma membrane.

Front 4

exocytosis

Back 4

A process by which a cell transports secretory products through the cytoplasm to the plasma membrane

Front 5

facilitated diffusion

Back 5

transport or passive-mediated transport is the process of spontaneous passive transport as opposed to active transport of molecules or ions across a biological membrane via specific transmembrane integral proteins.

Front 6

osmosis

Back 6

diffusion of water throughout the cell

Front 7

passive transport

Back 7

a movement of biochemicals and other atomic or molecular substances across cell membranes without need of energy input.

Front 8

sodium- potassium pump

Back 8

push sodium and potassium throughout the cell and filtering it

Front 9

transport protein

Back 9

carrier proteins

Front 10

vesicle transport

Back 10

Small membrane-bounded organelles that carry secretory and membrane proteins in both directions between the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the Golgi Complex, and from the Golgi to the cell surface or other destination.
