Cell Membrane Transport Mind Map Explained

A cell membrane transport mind map shows how substances cross the phospholipid bilayer. Transport falls into three main groups: passive transport, which needs no cellular energy, active transport, which uses ATP to move substances against a gradient, and bulk transport, which moves large particles through vesicles.

  • Passive transport: diffusion, facilitated diffusion and osmosis down a gradient
  • Active transport: primary and secondary pumps that use ATP
  • Bulk transport: endocytosis and exocytosis with vesicles
  • Factors: concentration gradient, membrane permeability and temperature
  • Examples: sodium-potassium pump and oxygen diffusion in lungs

Use this map to revise the three transport types and their examples before an exam. To get a map that matches your own lecture notes, create a personalized version with CogniGuide.

Cell Membrane Transport Questions

Answers on transport types and on making your own map with CogniGuide.

What is the difference between passive and active transport?

Passive transport moves substances down their concentration gradient without using cellular energy. Active transport moves substances against the gradient and requires ATP, as with the sodium-potassium pump.

What is osmosis in a cell membrane?

Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane from a region of lower solute concentration to one of higher solute concentration.

Which file types can I use to build my map?

You can upload PDF, Word (DOCX), PowerPoint (PPTX), text or Markdown files, or images. You can also type a topic directly.

Can I turn my transport map into a quiz?

Yes. On CogniGuide you can turn a finished mind map into a quiz to test yourself, and the same notes can become flashcards.
