Question

What are the different types of transport?

Answer 1

Transport:

1. Transport is the act or medium by which molecules, ions, or substrates are moved across a biological membrane.

The different types of transport are as follows:

1. Simple diffusion: Simple diffusion is defined as a process in which a substance moves through a translucent membrane or into a solution without the help of a transport protein.
2. Facilitated diffusion: Facilitated diffusion is a type of diffusion in which molecules move from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration assisted by a conductor.
3. Osmosis: Osmosis is a passive transport process during which water moves from areas where solvents are less concentrated where they are more concentrated.
