What is Passive
Transport? Passive Transport: movement of substances into/out of a cell without using energy.
high>low concentration
3 types:
1. Simple diffusion (down gradient until eq.)
2. Facilitated diffusion (required special protein)
3. Osmosis (diffusion of water via equaponns)
Brownian Motion: molecules randomly bound around until they are
spread out equally.
dynamic equilibrium (equal motion)
Simple Diffusion: molecules move from an area of high
concentration to an area of low concentration.
move down concentration gradient until dynamic
equilibrium is reacted
non-charged, small molecules
no channels needed
Facilitated Diffusion: large molecules require to help to pass
through the cell membrane.
required protein channels
ions: glucose
high concentration>low concentration
Osmosis: diffusion of water through the cell membrane
uses special channels called aquabonns
high>low, down concentration gradient
