  2. Active transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_transport

    There are two types of active transport: primary active transport that uses adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and secondary active transport that uses an electrochemical gradient. This process is in contrast to passive transport , which allows molecules or ions to move down their concentration gradient, from an area of high concentration to an area ...

  3. Protist locomotion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protist_locomotion

    The regular beat patterns of eukaryotic cilia and flagella generates motion on a cellular level. Examples range from the propulsion of single cells such as the swimming of spermatozoa to the transport of fluid along a stationary layer of cells such as in a respiratory tract. Though eukaryotic flagella and motile cilia are ultrastructurally ...

  4. Mass flow (life sciences) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_flow_(life_sciences)

    As such, mass flow is a subject of study in both fluid dynamics and biology. Examples of mass flow include blood circulation and transport of water in vascular plant tissues. Mass flow is not to be confused with diffusion which depends on concentration gradients within a medium rather than pressure gradients of the medium itself.

  5. ABC transporter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABC_transporter

    Plant ABCB transporters have shown to transport the phytohormone indole-3-acetic acid ( IAA), [69] also known as auxin, the essential regulator for plant growth and development. [70] [71] The directional polar transport of auxin mediates plant environmental responses through processes such as phototropism and gravitropism. [72]

  6. Active flow network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_flow_network

    An active flow network is a graph with edges and nodes, where particles inside this graph are propelled by an active mechanism. [1] [2] This type of network is used to study the motion of molecules in biological medium. Examples are organelles, including the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER). [3]

  7. Ion transporter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_transporter

    Diffusion vs. Transport. In biology, an ion transporter is a transmembrane protein that moves ions (or other small molecules) across a biological membrane to accomplish many different biological functions, including cellular communication, maintaining homeostasis, energy production, etc. [1] There are different types of transporters including pumps, uniporters, antiporters, and symporters.

  8. Polar auxin transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_auxin_transport

    Polar auxin transport (PAT) is directional and active flow of auxin molecules through the plant tissues. The flow of auxin molecules through the neighboring cells is driven by carriers (type of membrane transport protein) in the cell-to-cell fashion (from one cell to other cell and then to the next one) and the direction of the flow is determined by the localization of the carriers on the ...

  9. Transcellular transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcellular_transport

    There are two types of active transport, primary active transport and secondary active transport. [citation needed] Primary active transport uses adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to move specific molecules and solutes against its concentration gradient. Examples of molecules that follow this process are potassium K +, sodium Na +, and calcium Ca 2+.
