2.9 Mechanisms of Transport - Review

This review will guide you through an adaptive, research-backed study session. As you answer questions, we will actively assess your current understanding of the material. Questions will continue to be drawn until you have demonstrated mastery of each learning objective.

Reviews are graded based on completion. You will receive full credit for achieving 100% mastery or answering all questions.

Learning objectives for this review:

  • Differentiate between simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, active transport, and bulk transport (endocytosis and exocytosis).
  • Discuss the sources of energy for active transport processes, including ATP and electrochemical gradients.
  • Explain how different transport mechanisms contribute to nutrient uptake, waste removal, and intracellular signaling.
