Cellular Transport Osmosis • The diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane. Passive transport • Moves a substance with the concentration gradient and requires no energy from the cell. Four main kinds of passive transport are diffusion, facilitated diffusion, filtration and osmosis. The The four main kinds of passive transport are Active Transport • Moves materials against the concentration gradient and requires energy to overcome the flow of materials opposite the concentration gradient. • Large particles may enter a cell by endocytosis and leave by exocytosis. Cell Growth • Cell size is limited largely by the diffusion rate of materials into and out of the cell, the amount of DNA available to program the cell’s surface area-to-volume ratio. Cell Life-Cycle • The life cycle of a cell is divided into two general periods: a period of active growth and metabolism known as interphase, and a period that leads to cell division known as mitosis. Mitosis • Mitosis is divided into four phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. • The cells of most multicellular organisms are organized into tissues, organs, and organ systems. Control of the Cell Cycle • The cell cycle is controlled by key enzymes that are produced at specific points in the cell cycle. • Cancer is caused by genetic & environmental factors that change the genes that control the cell cycle.
