Passive movement due to random thermal motion until equilibrium.
Diffusion is slower over long distances.
They act as barriers, slowing down the process.
Nonpolar and lipophilic substances.
Facilitate ion diffusion across membranes.
Separation of electrical charge influencing ion movement.
Regulated channels that control ion movement.
Used for polar or large molecules that can't diffuse.
Transporters undergo conformational changes and can saturate.
Movement from high to low concentration via a transporter.
Moves substances against their gradient using energy.
Directly uses ATP to move ions against gradients.
Uses an electrochemical gradient to move substances.
Net diffusion of water across a membrane.
Ability of a solution to pull water.
Water moves into the cell, causing it to swell.
Water moves out of the cell, leading to shrinkage.
