What is the definition of logistics and what are its basic goals?
Logistics is the process of planning and executing the efficient transportation and storage of goods from the point of origin to the point of consumption. The goal of logistics is to meet customer requirements in a timely, cost-effective manner.
What is the definition of transport?
Transport, or transportation, is the intentional movement of humans, animals, and goods from one location to another. Common modes of transport include air, land (rail and road), water, cable, pipeline, and space.
What are the two main types of transport?
The two main types of transport are passive transport and active transport. Passive transport is a type of non-energy requiring movement that occurs due to the natural concentration gradient between concentrations of molecules, ions or other substances. Molecules will move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration without any energy input. Active transport on the other hand uses energy in order to move molecules from an area with lower concentration to one with higher concentration - which goes against the natural flow. This type of transport typically occurs using ion pumps within cells, which can use ATP as an energy source for moving substances across membranes.
