CELL TRANSPORT2 ways that the molecules move through the
membrane: 1. Active transport requires that the cell use
energy that it has obtained from food to move the molecules (or larger particles) through the cell membrane.
2. Passive transport does not require such energy expenditure, and occurs spontaneously
PASSIVE TRANSPORTPASSIVE TRANSPORT ACTIVE TRANSPORTACTIVE TRANSPORT- Does not require energy- Does not require energy
- Does not require oxygen- Does not require oxygen -flow of materials is from flow of materials is from greater to lesser greater to lesser concentration(follows concentration(follows concentration gradient)concentration gradient)
- flow rate is slower - flow rate is slower

molecules from a area of higher concentration molecules from a area of higher concentration to an area to an area
of lower concentration. of lower concentration. the direction of diffusion is determined by the the direction of diffusion is determined by the
concentration of specific molecules in concentration of specific molecules in the two sides of the membrane and the energy the two sides of the membrane and the energy

DIFFUSIONDIFFUSION
It is important to bear in mind that: - the movement is random - the steeper the concentration gradient (ie. the bigger the difference between the higher concentration and lower concentration), the faster will be the movement.

ACTIVE TRANSPORTACTIVE TRANSPORTEndocytosis begins when a particle contacts the plasma Endocytosis begins when a particle contacts the plasma membrane of a cell. An invagination of the membrane membrane of a cell. An invagination of the membrane occurs until the particle is completely wrapped in occurs until the particle is completely wrapped in membrane. The wrapped particle is now inside a vesicle membrane. The wrapped particle is now inside a vesicle in the interior of the cell. There are two types of in the interior of the cell. There are two types of endocytosis: phagocytosis and pinocytosis. endocytosis: phagocytosis and pinocytosis.
Exocytosis is the reverse of endocytosis. In this case Exocytosis is the reverse of endocytosis. In this case material exits from the cell. As with endocytosis, the material exits from the cell. As with endocytosis, the plasma membrane is actively involved. Material in a sac plasma membrane is actively involved. Material in a sac or vesicle moves to the membrane and when it makes or vesicle moves to the membrane and when it makes contact the membrane opens and the material inside the contact the membrane opens and the material inside the vesicle pours out. Note that the plasma membrane and the vesicle pours out. Note that the plasma membrane and the vesicle membrane fuse to form a new border for the cell. vesicle membrane fuse to form a new border for the cell.
