Materials move into and out of cells through either passive transport or active transport. Passive transport includes diffusion and osmosis. Molecules tend to move from crowded to less crowded in order to achieve a balance or to reach homeostasis. The cell membrane is selectively permeable which allows the movement of substances, especially oxygen, water, food molecules, carbon dioxide, and waste products, into or out of the cell without the use of energy. Movement occurs when there are unequal concentrations of a substance inside and outside of the cell.

“Active transport, the protein transporter moves molecules against, or up, the concentration gradient” (McCance & Huether, pg. 29).

Some molecules can pass into the cell by facilitated diffusion. This is passive due to the nature of diffusion and because the solute is moving down its

The two big sections that all forms of cellular transportation fall into are passive transport and active transport. Passive transport is the moving of material along a concentration gradient (a high concentration to a low concentration). Passive transport requires no use of energy because there is nothing that you need to use energy to work against. Active transport is the moving of material against a concentration gradient (a low concentration to a high concentration). Active transport requires the use of energy because the movement of the material is going against the flow.

All cells in the human body are surrounded by a plasma membrane made up of lipids and proteins which form a barrier. The proteins and lipids in the membrane occupy different roles. The lipids create a semipermeable barrier and the proteins are part of a cross membrane transport. To pass through the membrane a substance goes through a transport known as diffusion. Diffusion is movement of molecules from a high area of concentration to an area of low concentration. There are two different forms of diffusion. One example of diffusion is known as simple diffusion, an unassisted movement of dissolved substances through a selectively permeable membrane (Marieb pg. 54). The

All cells contain membranes that are selectively permeable, allowing certain things to pass into and leave out of the cell. The process in which molecules of a substance move from an area of high concentration to areas of low concentration is called Diffusion. Whereas Osmosis is the process in which water crosses membranes from regions of high water concentration to areas with low water concentration. While molecules in diffusion move down a concentration gradient, molecules during osmosis both move down a concentration gradient as well as across it. Both diffusion, and osmosis are types of passive transport, which do not require help.

What is transport medium and which chemicals are carried around your body? (Make sure you are talking about main ones and their form)

The technologic progress during the Industrial Revolution enhanced quality of life but also resulted in a human health burden. As in the case of asbestos with its decades of long latency that still remain, there are many legitimate concerns about the unknown human health consequences of nanomaterials. Nanotechnology, now at the leading edge of rapid development with many potential human health benefits, is perceived with apprehension for potential human health risks. Enhanced strength, durability, flexibility, performance, and inimitable physical properties associated with these materials has been exploited in a multitude of industries and treatment modalities including detection of tumors, targeted drug delivery, and prognostic visual monitoring

Cellular transport refers to materials moving across the membrane. Transport also deals with how the materials move into and out of the cell. Passive and active transport are the two main types of transport. In our daily lives, we can link transport to many different functions that occur in our bodies. I have chosen three things to relate transport to: sodium and potassium transport to kidney function and dialysis, calcium transport to muscular dystrophy, iron transport to Parkinson's disease.

Nanoparticles are being used in a diverse range of products for multiple applications which increases the chances to contaminate the environment. Nanomaterial can be released accidentally or intentionally. Being released to air, soil and water NPs pose threat as they are very small particles and can float into air or get transported to another place through water. Soil contamination leads to accumulation for long time and further pollutes ground water (Tripathi et al. 2012). Among the applications coatings, paints, and pigments are quite important and have the highest possibility of being released into soil and water. Electronics and optics signify a major application, and NPs used are more likely to be disposed in landfills. Nanoparticles

Transport proteins are proteins in the cell membrane that help molecules that are too large to cross the cell membrane on their own. Some transport proteins may act as channels, changing their shape or opening and closing to get things across. This is known as facilitated diffusion because the proteins are facilitating (or helping) things

Active transport requires energy such as ATP (adenosine Triphosphate) to perform its function of moving molecules across a cell membrane to secrete a substance. The Sodium-Potassium Pump is a common mechanism in the body that uses active transport. This pump requires the use of ATP to pump Sodium of the cell as it is working to pump potassium into and across the cell membrane at the same time. Passive transport does not require energy to move molecules throughout the body. This includes diffusion, osmosis, and filtration. Diffusion is the movement of molecules down a concentration gradient. The molecules move from the side of the membrane with a higher concentration to side with the lower concentration. Osmosis is the movement of water across a membrane. The water also moves down a concentration gradient, from the side that is higher to the side that is of less concentration within a cell. Filtration is the movement of water in and out of a cell by

Active transport ‘Active transport is the unnatural movement of the substances from low to high concentration gradient across the membrane, in order to move against the concentration gradient requires some kind of energy source. For instance, sodium-potassium pump requires ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) to function.(Scagliarini page8) ‘Passive transport is the natural movement of the substances from high to low concentration gradient across the membrane, and does not require any energy source nor help to move.’ (Scagliarini page 9) For instance, Simple Diffusion including osmosis and diffusion, and facilitated diffusion allows molecules to move without any

Diffusion is the movement of substances through the plasma membrane from a higher concentration gradient to a lower concentration gradient, and it does not require a transport protein. Osmosis is the diffusion of water. Diffusion and osmosis are similar because they are both types of passive transport and they do not require any proteins to move items through the plasma membrane. The mechanism of diffusion and osmosis is to transport substances, [water for osmosis], through the plasma membrane. Diffusion and osmosis are important to all cells because certain things must be transported in and out of the cell. Without diffusion and osmosis, our cells would not properly function and all of our bodies would experience many dysfunctions.

These are composed of numerous nano particles in their structure and have an average diameter of less than 50nm. Nano powders are used in drug delivery around the body, due to their high surface area is to volume ratio. Apart from that they are used in specialized paints and glazes, as their structure consists of uniformly distributed nano particles. Due to their uniformity and constant particle size [2], these nano powders have an excellent ability to disperse solution and liquids. This leads to a uniform flow of the liquid and the formation of a constant
