Cell Transport Match-up
Diffusion
Facilitated
Diffusion
Osmosis
Protein Pump
Spontaneous
movement of
molecules
Molecules move
from areas of high
concentration to
areas of low
concentration
Passive transport,
requires no energy
input
Requires carrier
molecule or protein
channels
Molecules move
from areas of high
concentration to
areas of low
concentration
Passive transport,
requires no energy
input
Molecules move into
and out of the cell
Examples of
transported
molecules include
sugars & amino acids
Examples of
transported
molecules include
oxygen and carbon
dioxide
Spontaneous
movement of
molecules
Molecules move
from areas of high
concentration to
areas of low
concentration
Molecules move into
and out of the cell
Passive transport,
require no energy
input
Water molecules are
transported; Can
cause cell to shrink or
expand
Hypertonic
Solution
Hypotonic
Solution
Isotonic
Solution
Endocytosis
Molecules move into
and out of the cell
Exocytosis
Solution
concentration
outside cell equal to
concentration inside
cell
Water moves out of
cell
No net water
movement
Active transport;
uses energy from
ATP
Can move molecules
against the
concentration
gradient (from low to
high concentration)
Only transports
certain molecules
Embedded in cell
membrane
Examples of
transported
materials include
sodium and
potassium ions
Plasma membrane
surrounds molecule
or particle that is
outside the cell
Formed vesicle
carries the molecule
or particle into the
cell
Plasma membrane
surrounds molecule
or particle that is
inside the cell
Formed vesicle
carries the molecule
or particle out of the
cell
Large molecules,
particles, or groups
of particles are
transported into the
cell
Large molecules,
particles, or groups
of particles are
transported out of
the cell
Concentration of
solution determines
how water will move
into and out of cell
Concentration of
solution determines
how water will move
into and out of cell
Concentration of
solution determines
how water will move
into and out of cell
More dissolved
particles outside
than inside the cell
Water moves into
cell
Less dissolved
particles outside
than inside the cell
