Wordlists for Exam 1
Lectures 7, 8 & 9 - Membrane Transport

Macrotransfer processes

bulk movement
exocytosis
endocytosis (phagocytosis versus endocytosis)

Microtransfer processes - individual molecules
Membrane Transport
Diffusion: Non-polar solutes
Channels: (ions, water, some small organics)

ligand gated, voltage-gated, mechanically gated

Transporter (Porter) = "Carrier" (Alberts) = "Permease"
"Passive Transport" = Mediated Transport = "Facilitated Diffusion"
 
Active Transport

Primaty Active Transport: - ATPases, biochemical reactions, light activation
Transport ATPases = pumps
Secondary Active Transport: "Cotransport"
Symport/Antiport (vs Uniport)
H⁺-symport or antiport
Na⁺-symport or antiport = Na⁺-coupled transport
