Document Summary

Active transport requires energy and is against the concentration gradient. Secondary active transport uses an ionic concentration gradient to move another molecule against its concentration gradient. Symport: both ion and molecule move in same direction (co-transport. Antiport: ion moves in one direction and molecule in the opposite direction (exchange diffusion) Membrane potential (or potential difference) refers to the difference between the inside charge and outside charge. In summary, membrane crossing mechanisms are diffusion, facilitated diffusion and. Cells need to communicate in order for action to take place (cell communication = Intracellular communication: communication between internal parts of the cells. Cells communicate with one another through: direct channels of communication (gap junctions/plamodesmata, specific contact between cells (touch and communicate via extracellular protrusions) Cells aggregate to survive when food is scarce. Dictyostelium discoideum (slime mold) aggregation in amoeba release a chemical intro the extracellular environment. It is detected, and therefore movement towards each other is initiated.
