What is Cell Membrane Transport Mechanisms about?
This chapter discusses how substances move through cell membranes. There are two main types of transport - passive diffusion and active transport. Passive diffusion includes simple diffusion through the lipid bilayer and facilitated diffusion using transport proteins. Active transport requires energy and includes the sodium-potassium pump and co-transport of molecules like glucose using the sodium gradient. Transport across cellular sheets uses active transport into cells followed by passive diffusion out o
