Simple Diffusion
net movement of particles from higher conc to area of lower concentration (down the “concentration gradient”)
:
• Osmotic Pressure: the pressure that must be applied to a solution on one side of a membrane to prevent osmotic flow of water across the membrane from the other side (the “water-attracting ability of a solute”)

Facilitated Diffusion:
a carrier protein is utilized
like simple diffusion, particles move down their concentration gradient
Filtration:
water and solutes are forced through a membrane from an area of higher pressure to an area of lower pressure
Primary Active Transport:
carrier-mediated, transmembrane transport of a substance requiring energy that is provided directly by hydrolysis of ATP
Na+/K+ Pump:
for each molecule of ATP, 3 Na+ ions are pumped out of the cell for every 2 K+ ions pumped into the cell
Secondary Active Transport:
carrier-mediated, transport driven by passive ion gradients created by the operation of primary active transport mechs
symport:
materials are moved in the same direction as the ion gradient
antiport:
materials are moved in the opposite direction as the ion gradient
Endocytosis/Exocytosis:
materials enter/exit the cell
Phagocytosis / Pinocytosis)
Receptor-mediated Endocytosis:
endocytosis which a large protein hormone taken into a target cell with receptor protein following lysosomal digestion, membrane recycled
