Transmembrane transport

1.      Match the following:

__3__ (a) diffusion
__9__ (b) osmosis
__1__ (c) facilitated diffusion
__5__ (d) primary active transport
__11__ (e) secondary active transport
__4__ (f) vesicular transport
__8__ (g) phagocytosis
__7__ (h) pinocytosis
__2__ (i) exocytosis
__10__ (j) receptor-mediated endocytosis
__6__ (k) transcytosis


(1) Passive transport in which a solute binds to a specific carrier on one side of the membrane and is released on the other side
(2) Movement of materials out of the cell by fusing of secretory vesicles with the plasma membrane
(3) The random mixing of particles in a solution due to the kinetic energy of the particles; substances move from high to low concentrations until equilibrium is reached
(4) Transport of substances either into or out of the cell by means of small, spherical membranous sacs formed by budding off from existing membranes
(5) Uses energy derived from hydrolysis of ATP to change the shape of a carrier protein, which “pumps” a substance across a cellular membrane against its concentration gradient
(6) Vesicular movement involving endocytosis on one side of a cell and subsequent exocytosis on the opposite side of the cell
(7) Type of endocytosis that involves the nonselective uptake of tiny droplets of extracellular fluid
(8) Type of endocytosis in which large solid particles are taken in
(9) Movement of water from an area of higher to an area of lower water concentration through a selectively permeable membrane
(10) Process that allows a cell to take specific ligands from the ECF by forming vesicles
(11) Indirectly uses energy obtained from the breakdown of ATP; involves symporters and antiporters


2.      What type of transport is illustrated in the following picture?


a) Active
b) Passive
c) Osmosis 
d) Phagocytosis
