Exchange of molecules through
the plasma membrane

Against the concentration Down the concentration

gradient (low to high) gradient (high to low)

ATP
Passive Transport

Active Transport

Facilitated Diffusion
Pump
Simple Diffusion Vesicles

net movement of hydrophobic

hydrophilic
water molecules
molecules getting in getting out Sodium
Potassium

Osmosis Channel Protein Carrier Protein Endocytosis Exocytosis

If material is solid Phagocytosis

equal solute to that of the higher solute concentration
cell content than cell content
lower solute Pinocytosis
If material is liquid

Isotonic than cell content Hypertonic
Binding of extracellular fluid Receptor Mediated
(protein) to ligands. Endocytosis
