What is a Cell?
A cell is the basic unit of life. It was first discovered by
Robert Hooke under a microscope in the year 1665. It is
what we living things are made out of. Our cells are the
small building blocks that make us up. They are organic
matter, they help our body and organs function.

WHAT IS A
CELL TRANSPORT?

Cell Transport
Cell transport refers to the movement in the cell's
membrane. In cell transportation, they move
across or out of the cell. They transport substances
that carry nutrients or waste.

How it works
Cell transport works in a step-by-step process in order
to maintain the cell's needs and make our bodies
function well.

TYPES OF A
CELL TRANSPORT?

Active Transport
The type of cell transport that
requires a lot of energy to occur and
high concentrations of enzymes. It
also uses ATP (Adenosine
triphosphate) in the process.

Passive Transport
The type of cell transport that
doesn't require energy and requires
a low concentration of enzymes. It
is the opposite of active transport.
 The Active
Transport
Here we can show the different processes in Active
Transport and how it is similar to in-real-life
machines or situations :

File Name: Phase 1 of Active Transport

Active Transport Solute Pumping

It is the movement of substances in and out
of the cell by the use of ATP. The main
substances that are transported in this
process are ions, amino acids, and sugars
by the use of solute pumps.
Real-Life Application:
This process can be compared to a balloon
pump as it transports air into a balloon by
pumping it, similar to the solute pump.

Bulk Transport
It is the movement of large substances in
and out of the cell use of vesicle is involved
in this process

Real-life application:
In the cell the plasma membrane surrounds and
engulfs the particle, in real-life situations, it is like
hugging a person. It can also be compared to
putting in the trash and taking out recycled
materials (or anything that shouldn't belong there)
in the trash can. This process may also be known
as ''Endocytosis''

File Name: Phase 2 Types of Bulk Transport in Active Transport

Exocytosis Real-Life Application:

Just as exocytosis is the process of
removing waste materials from
the cell, it is similar to a
household getting rid of their
waste or garbage out of the house.

Exocytosis is a form of active transport.

Its purpose is to get rid of waste
materials from the cell and to the
extracellular fluids. -Its purpose is the
opposite of endocytosis's purpose. -
Exocytosis occurs when a vesicle
combines with the plasma membrane,
thus making its contents to be released
out of the cell.
File Name: Phase 2 Types of Bulk Transport in Active Transport

Real-Life Application:
Endocytosis
Just as endocytosis engulfs
substances from the outside
of the cell, it is comparable
to how our mouths put in
foods and drinks further
down the digestive system.

It is the process of immerging

substances from the outside of
the cell. The substance then
enters the cytoplasm while
being enclosed in a vesicle

File Name: Phase 3 Types of Endocytosis

Phagocytosis Real-Life Application:

The food we eat is frequently
solid. It is similar to
phagocytosis, as it ingests
solid particles from the
outside of the cell.

Phagocytosis is also known as

cellular eating. It occurs when
the plasma membrane
surrounds the undissolved
(solid) materials and engulfs
them.

Pinocytosis Real-Life Application:

On the other hand,
pinocytosis ingests liquid
particles, like how we sip our
drinks.

Pinocytosis is also known as

cellular drinking. It happens
when the plasma membrane
surrounds the liquid material
and engulfs it.
 The Passive
Transport
Here we can show the different processes in
Passive Transport and how it is similar to in-real-
life machines or situations :

File Name: Phase 1 of Passive Transport

Facilitated Diffusion Real-Life Application:

A facilitated diffusion is a form of
passive transport. It transports
particles and substances over a
biological membrane from a
higher concentration region to a
lower one with the help of
transport molecules/ proteins. Its
purpose is to regulate what goes
in and out of the cell.
An airplane: just as facilitated
diffusion transports and regulates
what comes in and out of the cell,
so does in an airplane. The
airplane’s main purpose is to
transport, but even so, if you look
closely, like a facilitated diffusion,
the airport personnel and flight
attendants of that airplane check
the passenger’s luggage if there
are any dangerous weapons. By
this, they also regulate what they
bring in the airplane.

Simple Diffusion Real-Life Application:

One example is the spraying of
an air freshener. The movement
of molecules travels from an
area of high concentration to a
low concentration of the air
freshener
Eventually, the other people
from further places of an area
can also smell the scent of the
air freshener even if there was
distance present.
Simple diffusion is the
spreading of a substance
from higher concentration to
lower concentration via a
semipermeable membrane.
It doesn't require the
assistance of membrane
proteins.

Omosis Real-Life Application:

A real-life example of osmosis
is watering plants. Gardeners
or what we call these days
"plantitas and plantitos",
usually water the stem end and
soil of their plants. Therefore,
the roots absorb water, the
water then travels to its
various parts such as leaves or
Osmosis is a special type of flowers. The roots of the plants
diffusion. The movement of water act as a semipermeable
molecules from higher water
membrane which allows water
molecules to transfer from
concentration to lower water
high concentration (which is

the soil) to low concentration

osmosis. During the process of
osmosis, it carries water through a
partially permeable membrane, and
the membrane defines the diffusion
of solutes in the water
concentration. The tonicity of the
solution is connected to its
osmolarity. Osmolarity refers to the
overall amount of solute in the
solution. The lower the osmolarity,
the greater number of water
molecules in the solution.
