Active Membrane Transport- Kylie Dye



Active Membrane Transport- Kylie Dye




  • Cell/plasma membrane: Semi/selectively permeable boundary of the cell

  • Active transport requires energy

  • Uses a high-to-low concentration

Summary:
In this review, I learned that active membrane transport requires energy and goes from a high-to-low concentration. Nothing seemed to surprise me, but I liked how quick the concept was to grasp. I feel like I had heard about this before and I think I knew more than I gave myself credit for, but I still learned many new things in this area of biology. This objective is very interesting and I liked the way Mr. Black taught it to the class because he made it very creative and fun for everyone. Outside of biology I know I can use this process to look at processes going on inside the human body. I can also look at things like perfume and know that that is passive transport and not active.
