Chapter 5 - Homeostasis and Cell Transports
- Homeostasis definition
- Substances such as water, Glucose, Oxygen and waste products need to move in and out cells through the Cell or Plasma membrane
- This occurs in 2 main ways:
1. Passive Transport - little or no energy is required by the cells
a. Diffusion
b. Facilitated Diffusion
c. Osmosis
2. Active Transport - energy is required by the cells
a. Cell Membrane Pumps
b. Endocytosis
c. Exocytosis
