Passive and Active

Movements and Processes and examples

TermDefinition
Simple Diffusion Molecules or ions move from regions of high concentration to low concentration.
Simple Diffusion Example: Exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs
Facilitated Diffusion Molecules move across membrane through channels or by carrier molecules for a high concentration to low concentration
Osmosis Water molecules move from higher concentration to low concentration through a selectively permeable membrane
Filtration Smaller molecules are forced through porous membranes from higher pressure to lower pressure
Facilitated Diffusion Example: Movement of glucose through a cell membrane
Osmosis Example: Distilled water entering a cell
Filtration Example: Molecules leaving blood capillaries
Active Transport Carrier molecules transport molecules or ions through membranes from regions of low concentration to high concentration
Pinocytosis (Endocytosis) Membrane engulfs droplets of liquid from surroundings
Phagocytosis (Endocytosis) Membrane engulfs solid particles from surroundings
Receptor- Mediated (Endocytosis) Membrane engulfs selected molecules combined with receptor proteins
Exocytosis Vesicles fuse with membrane and release contents outside of the cell
Transcytosis Combines receptor- mediated endocytosis and exocytosis to ferry particles through a cell
Active Transport Example: Movement of various ions and amino acids through membranes
Pinocytosis Example: Membrane- forming vesicles containing large particles dissolved in water
Phagocytosis Example: White blood cell membrane engulfing bacterial cell
Receptor- Mediated Example: Cell removing cholesterol- containing LDL particles from its surroundings
Exocytosis Example: Protein secretion, neurotransmitter release
Transcytosis Example: HIV crossing a cell layer

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
