Transport in cells GapFill

All cells require certain substances to be moved into or out of the cell. As a result, many adaptations exist for such a need.  MitosisInoculationTranspirationSpecialisationDiffusionTranslocation is the movement of substances  alongwithindownnext toupbetween a concentration gradient. Importantly, this  generateswill usually requiredoes not requirerequiresmay or may not requirecan sometimes require energy. Examples of the substances that move in this way are  carbon dioxidealveoliplateletsoxygenwhite blood cellsamino acids moving into blood in the lungs, or urea moving out of blood in the kidneys.

This process can be sped up by several factors, including increasing the concentration gradient, increasing the  distancevolumepHlight intensityfrictiontemperature or increasing the surface area of the membrane. Having a  uniquesmallconstantknownvariablelarge surface-area-to-volume ratio allows this process to occur rapidly, which allows single-celled organisms to exist without complex transport systems. A cube-shaped cell with sides measuring 3 µm has a surface area of  1824546072936 µm² and a volume of  4281541827729 µm³.
