Cell Transportation by Javier

Summary- Cell transportation is when particles, molecules and other substances pass through cells through certain ways of transport. Like active transport which takes up energy for it to be passed through the cell membrane it requires energy because it is against the gradient. There is also passive transport and other ways of getting through the cell but active transport is my favorite (As shown Below). Don’t forget about endocytosis and exocytosis which is how an animal cell gets its energy. Endocytosis is when a cell surrounds a substance and passes it through its cell membrane and exocytosis is when it excretes its waste. Cells are interesting pieces of life and we all need to know what they are here for.




Facts
  Passive transport requires no energy since it is going with the gradient.
 
  A selectively permeable cell membrane lets particles pass in through it.

  Diffusion is when particles go through a selectively permeable membrane from a lower  concentration to a higher concentration


Questions
  How can you tell if diffusion is going on or not?

  What is the difference between active and passive transport?

  How many transportation processes are there? Name three of them.
 
  What is your favorite way a cell transports substances?
