Introduction!
✦
Pumps and Channels move substances across
membranes.
•
Pumps move substances from regions of low
concentration to high concentration.
Requires a source of energy (active transport)
Channels allow substances to move from regions of
high concentration to low concentration.
‣ Does not require an outside source of energy
(passive transport)
‣ If passive transport requires a channel it is
called facilitated diffusion.

process must be < 0.
