    The document discusses different types of transport mechanisms in cells. Passive transport such as diffusion and osmosis does not require energy and moves molecules from high to low concentration areas. Active transport requires energy and can move molecules from low to high concentration areas, or allow materials to enter or exit cells through exocytosis and endocytosis. The document also describes how cells react to hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic solutions based on the relative water and solute concentrations inside and outside the cell.

    Passive Transport A pair of hydrophobic lipid tails

    and a hydrophilic phosphate head


    No need energy
    Diffusion and Osmosis
    High to Low

    Active Transport
    Need energy
    Low to high
    Exocytosis- exit from the cell
    Endocytosis- enter to the cell

    Hypertonic (more water inside the


    cell) - salty solution
    Water will go outside where theres
    a solute concentration.
    Cell will shrink
    Hypotonic (less water inside the
    cell)
    Water will go inside where theres
    a solute concentration.
    Cells will expand or grow.. since it
    has low
    More water, less salt
    Isotonic
    Equal amount

    Phospholipid
