Transport Across Cell Membranes by Bozeman Science
Highlights
Core Concepts of Membrane Transport
Paul Andersen explains that cellular transport is categorized into two main types: passive and active. Passive transport, such as diffusion, allows particles to move along a concentration gradient without the expenditure of energy. In contrast, active transport requires energy because it involves moving particles against their concentration gradient.
