Substances that can across plasma membrane freely
Non-polar molecules dan small uncharged molecules
Substances that require transport proteins to pass through the plasma membrane
1) Large polar molecules such as glucose, sucrose, amino acids, nucleic acids and polysaccharides 2) Charged ions
Types of transport without the usage of ATP
Passive transport; simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion and osmosis
Passive transport
The movement of substances across the plasma membrane follows the concentration gradient without using ATP
Concentration gradient
Refers to the difference in molecular concentration between one region and another
Simple diffusion
The random movement of molecules or ions from a high concentration region to a low concentration region
Osmosis
Diffusion of water from a high water potential region to a low water potential region across the semi-permeable membrane
Facililated diffusion
The movement of molecules across the plasma membrane and down the concentration gradient of those molecules with the help of carrier proteins and channel proteins
Active transport
Movement of substances across plasma membrane against the concentration gradient and uses ATP
Common factors that determine whether a molecule can pass through a plasma membrane
Molecule size , polar molecule and ionic charge
