What are the different types of membrane transport? what are the three classes of transport?

The most prominent types of membrane transport are 1) Passive 2) Active 3) Endocytosis/exocytosis.

Explanation:

1) Passive Transport-

It can be further classified into-

a. Diffusion- In diffusion small molecules or lipid soluble molecules pass through the membrane of phospholipid from their high concentration to the areas of their lower concentration.

b. Osmosis- In this process water molecules move through a membrane which is selectively permeable, from their higher concentration to their lower concentration.

c. Facilitated diffusion- In this process molecules take help of the protein channels to move across the membrane.

2) Active Transport- In this process the cell uses its energy(ATP) to move the substance across against their concentration gradient.

3) Endocytosis and Exocytosis( For movement of large particles)-

The cells take up the substance from outside by a process called Endocytosis. Endocytosis can be further classified into-

Phagocyytosis- if the substance taken up is solid

Pinocytosis- If the substance taken up is fluid

Exocytosis- the cell excretes by exocytosis
