Cell Transport Activity

Use the following words/phrases to fill in the Cell Transport Chart. Some words are listed more than once because they fit in more than one
column.
 Definitions:
Process by which molecules are pumped
across a cell membrane by way of protein
“pumps” from low [ ] to high [ ]
Particles move from an area of high
concentration to low concentration
Process by which a cell releases large
amounts of material
Diffusion of water across a semipermeable
membrane from high [water] to low [water]
Movement of specific molecules across a cell
membrane from high [ ] to low [ ] by way of a
protein channel
Process by which a cell takes material into the
cell by infolding of the cell membrane
Look at the following diagrams. You need to figure out which diagram goes with which category in your Cell Transport Chart. Once you have
determined which process each diagram shows, you will need to sketch the picture in the correct column.
Descriptions: Examples:
Low [solute] to high [solute] A white blood cell engulfing an invading
Passive bacterium.
Passive
Putting a drop of food coloring in water and
Passive watching it spread out.
Active (requires ATP)
Plant roots pulling in nutrients from the soil
Active (requires ATP)
against the concentration gradient.
Active (requires ATP)
Equilibrium Glucose moves from one side of the
membrane to the other through a tunnel (no
Equilibrium
ATP required).
Equilibrium
Can happen with or without membrane Lysosomes collect trash and move it to the cell
Occurs against the [ ] gradient membrane where it is exported from the cell.
Phagocytosis and pinocytosis Putting salt on a slug, causing the slug to
become dehydrated and shrivel up and die.
