  2. Active transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_transport

    In cellular biology, active transport is the movement of molecules or ions across a cell membrane from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration—against the concentration gradient. Active transport requires cellular energy to achieve this movement.

  3. Transcellular transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcellular_transport

    In contrast, paracellular transport is the transfer of substances across an epithelium by passing through an intercellular space between the cells. It differs from transcellular transport, where the substances travel through the cell passing through both the apical membrane and basolateral membrane; Renal physiology. Transcellular transport is ...

  4. Exocytosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exocytosis

    Exocytosis (/ ˌ ɛ k s oʊ s aɪ ˈ t oʊ s ɪ s / [1] [2]) is a form of active transport and bulk transport in which a cell transports molecules (e.g., neurotransmitters and proteins) out of the cell (exo-+ cytosis). As an active transport mechanism, exocytosis requires the use of energy to transport material.

  5. Membrane transport protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Membrane_transport_protein

    In a single cycle of the pump, three sodium ions are extruded from and two potassium ions are imported into the cell. Active transport is the movement of a substance across a membrane against its concentration gradient. This is usually to accumulate high concentrations of molecules that a cell needs, such as glucose or amino acids.

  6. Active Club Network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Club_Network

    The Active Club Network are decentralized cells of white supremacy and neo-Nazi groups active in many U.S. states, with multiple chapters in other nations. Largely inspired by the defunct street-fighting Rise Above Movement formed by Robert Rundo in 2017 and hooliganism, the network was created in January 2021 and promotes mixed martial arts to fight against what it asserts is a system that is ...

  7. Active matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_matter

    [5] [6] [7] Most examples of active matter are biological in origin and span all the scales of the living, from bacteria and self-organising bio-polymers such as microtubules and actin (both of which are part of the cytoskeleton of living cells), to schools of fish and flocks of birds.

  8. Glucose uptake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucose_uptake

    Glucose uptake is the process by which glucose molecules are transported from the bloodstream into cells through specialized membrane proteins called glucose transporters, primarily via facilitated diffusion or active transport mechanisms: [1]

  9. Monocyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monocyte

    Monocytes are mechanically active cells [17] and migrate from blood to an inflammatory site to perform their functions. As explained before, they can differentiate into macrophages and dendritic cells, but the different monocyte subpopulations can also exert specific functions on their own.
