| Diffusion | Movement of particles into and out of a space following a concentration gradient Passive transport |
| Passive Transport | cells expend no energy Rate depends on permeability |
| Osmosis | Water balances concentration of solutes in solution Water bound to solute is not free and cannot cross boundary |

| Io channels | move ions (may be gated that open in response to stimulus |
| Active transport | require energy Moves solute against the concentration gradient Facilitated by carrier proteins Usually comes from ATP hydrolysis |
| Cotransport | Active transport of solute indirectly drive transport of other substances Some goes up concentration gradient and something goes down |
| Bulk transport | Uses vesicles Exocytosis Endocytosis |
| Exocytosis | movement out of the cell by fusion of vesicles and membrane |
| Endocytosis | movement into the cell via vesicles formed in plasma membrane |
| Energy | the capacity to cause change |
| kinetic energy | associated with motion |
| thermal energy | kinetic energy of atom/molecules |
| potential energy | stored energy because of location/structure |
| chemical energy | potential energy available for release in chemical reactions |
| Law of Thermodynamics | Energy can be transferred and transformed, but cannot be created or destroyed Energy transfer is inefficient - lost as heat Entropy |
| Entropy | disorder and randomness |
| Free energy (G) | The energy of a system that can do work Change in free energy used to determine whether a process is spontaneous Change G = G final - G initial - Change in G = system becomes more stable + Change in G = system becomes less stable (Requires energy) |
| Exergonic | -Change in G system becomes more stable |
| Endergonic | + Change in G System becomes less stable (requires energy) |
| Activation energy | Energy must be input even into exergonic reactions for chemical reactions Initial energy needed to break bonds of reactants May be supplied by heat |
