Transport

[|Cell Transport Tutorial] [|Cell Transport Animation]

There are two types of transport, active transport and passive transport.

Examples of passive transport include diffusion and osmosis.
 * Passive transport is a type of transport that requires no energy.**

Diffusion is when molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration until equilibrium is reached. Osmosis is the diffusion of water.

Examples of active transport are endocytosis, pinocytosis, phagocytosis and exocytosis.
 * Active transport is a type of transport that requires energy.**

Endocytosis is bringing things into the cell. Pinocytosis and Phagocytosis are both types of endocytosis. Pinocytosis is when water comes into the cell. Phagocytosis is when food is brought into the cell. Exocytosis is when waste is expelled from the cell.
