Homeostasis and Cellular Transport
Homeostasis describes the stable internal environment that all organisms (and cells!) must maintain, regardless of what is occurring outside of them, in order to survive.
In order to maintain homeostasis, cells must take in materials, like nutrients and gasses, and release others, like waste.
The cell membrane is responsible for controlling what moves in and out of a cell and is selectively permeable, which means some things can move in and out, but not all.
There are two types of cellular transport: active and passive. Passive transport does not require energy, while active does.
Passive transport can happen by diffusion, osmosis, or facilitated diffusion.
Active transport can happen through protein pumps, endocytosis, or exocytosis.
