Diffusion: solute moves down its concentration gradient: • simple diffusion: small (e.g., oxygen, carbon dioxide) lipid soluble (e.g., steroids) • facilitated diffusion: requires transporter (e.g., glucose) Chapter 4 Movement of Molecules Across Cell Membranes = Trans-Membrane Traffic

Chapter 4 Movement of Molecules Across Cell Membranes Trans-Membrane Traffic(cont.) Active transport:solute moves against its concentration gradient: primary active transport: ATP directly consumed (e.g.,Na+K+ATPase) secondary active transport: energy of ion gradient(usually Na+)used to move second solute (e.g.,nutrient absorption in gut) Exo-and endo-cytosis: large scale movements of molecules
