  2. Intracellular transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intracellular_transport

    Intracellular transport is the movement of vesicles and substances within a cell. Intracellular transport is required for maintaining homeostasis within the cell by responding to physiological signals. [1] Proteins synthesized in the cytosol are distributed to their respective organelles, according to their specific amino acid’s sorting ...

  3. Transportation of animals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transportation_of_animals

    A horse being led into a horse trailer. The transportation of animals is the intentional movement of non-human animals by transport.Common categories of animals which are transported include livestock destined for sale or slaughter; zoological specimens; laboratory animals; race horses; pets; and wild animals being rescued or relocated.

  4. Uniporter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniporter

    Facilitated diffusion may occur through three mechanisms: uniport, symport, or antiport. The difference between each mechanism depends on the direction of transport, in which uniport is the only transport not coupled to the transport of another solute. [4] Uniporter carrier proteins work by binding to one molecule or substrate at a time ...

  5. Ion transporter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_transporter

    Diffusion vs. Transport. In biology, an ion transporter is a transmembrane protein that moves ions (or other small molecules) across a biological membrane to accomplish many different biological functions, including cellular communication, maintaining homeostasis, energy production, etc. [1] There are different types of transporters including pumps, uniporters, antiporters, and symporters.

  6. Freight transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freight_transport

    Freight transport, also referred to as freight forwarding, is the physical process of transporting commodities and merchandise goods and cargo. [1] The term shipping originally referred to transport by sea but in American English , it has been extended to refer to transport by land or air (International English: "carriage") as well.

  7. 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.

  8. Transcellular transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcellular_transport

    Transcellular transport involves the transportation of solutes by a cell through a cell. [1] Transcellular transport can occur in three different ways active ...

  9. 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.
