2. Transcellular transport - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcellular_transport

   One example of passive diffusion is the gas exchange that occurs between the oxygen in the blood and the carbon dioxide present in the lungs. [3] Facilitated diffusion is the movement of polar molecules down the concentration gradient with the assistance of membrane proteins. Since the molecules associated with facilitated diffusion are polar ...

3. Membrane transport protein - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Membrane_transport_protein

   Facilitated diffusion in the cell membrane, showing ion channels (left) and carrier proteins (three on the right). Facilitated diffusion is the passage of molecules or ions across a biological membrane through specific transport proteins and requires no energy input. Facilitated diffusion is used especially in the case of large polar molecules ...

4. Symporter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symporter

   The movement of the ion(s) across the membrane is facilitated diffusion, and is coupled with the active transport of the molecule(s). In symport, two molecule move in a 'similar direction' at the 'same time'. For example, the movement of glucose along with sodium ions. It exploits the uphill movement of other molecules from low to high ...

5. Simple squamous epithelium - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_squamous_epithelium

   Simple squamous epithelium falls under the physiological category of exchange epithelium due to its ability to rapidly transport molecules across the tissue layer. To facilitate this movement, some types of simple squamous epithelium may have pores between cells to allow molecules to move through it, creating a leaky epithelium.

6. Diffusion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion

   Diffusion models may also be used to solve inverse boundary value problems in which some information about the depositional environment is known from paleoenvironmental reconstruction and the diffusion equation is used to figure out the sediment influx and time series of landform changes. [25]

7. Uniporter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniporter

   The glucose transporter (GLUTs) is a type of uniporter responsible for the facilitated diffusion of glucose molecules across cell membranes. [9] Glucose is a vital energy source for most living cells, however, due to its large size, it cannot freely move through the cell membrane. [16]

8. Membrane transport - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Membrane_transport

   As mentioned above, passive diffusion is a spontaneous phenomenon that increases the entropy of a system and decreases the free energy. [5] The transport process is influenced by the characteristics of the transport substance and the nature of the bilayer. The diffusion velocity of a pure phospholipid membrane will depend on: concentration ...

9. Reaction–diffusion system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction–diffusion_system

   Reaction–diffusion systems are mathematical models that correspond to several physical phenomena. The most common is the change in space and time of the concentration of one or more chemical substances: local chemical reactions in which the substances are transformed into each other, and diffusion which causes the substances to spread out ...
