Membrane Transport

1
Membrane Transport

• Selectively permeable The cell membrane acts
  like a wall around the cell but it does have
  pores that act like doors
• Filtration process that is driven by hydrostatic
  pressure (pressure from water) it drives
  particles in and out of cell

2
Diffusion

• Diffusion the process of particles moving from
  high to low concentration to achieve a balance
• Concentration Gradient when the concentration of
  a particle is higher in one area then another

3
Osmosis

• Osmosis the process of water moving from low
  solute to high solute through a selectively
  permeable membrane
• Osmotic Pressure the force that stops osmosis
  due to filtration.(the flow of water across the
  membrane due to its own weight the flow of
  water due to osmosis
