Understanding Cell Transport Branches and Methods
A cellular transport concept map organizes how substances move across the cell membrane. The membrane is selectively permeable, so cells rely on two main strategies: passive transport, which needs no energy, and active transport, which uses ATP to move molecules against their concentration gradient. Bulk transport, through endocytosis and exocytosis, handles very large particles.
- Simple diffusion: small nonpolar molecules move down their gradient
- Osmosis: water crosses the membrane through aquaporins
- Facilitated diffusion: channel and carrier proteins help polar molecules
- Active transport: pumps such as the sodium-potassium pump use ATP
- Bulk transport: endocytosis and exocytosis move large particles in vesicles
Use the map to revise before exams by testing each branch from memory. Generate a personalized version with CogniGuide from your own notes and keep it updated as your course progresses.

Cell Transport Questions Answered
Common questions about cell transport and building a map of it.
What is the difference between passive and active transport?
Passive transport moves substances down their concentration gradient and needs no energy. Active transport moves substances against the gradient and uses ATP, usually through protein pumps embedded in the membrane.
What is osmosis?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane from a region of lower solute concentration to one of higher solute concentration. Aquaporins speed up this movement in many cells.
Which file types can I use to build a cell transport map?
You can upload PDF, Word (DOCX), PowerPoint (PPTX), text or Markdown files, or images. You can also type the topic directly and the AI will build the map from it.
Can I turn the transport map into a quiz?
Yes. Once your map is generated, you can convert it into a quiz to test yourself. The free plan includes 5 creations a week, with no payment needed.
