1 Active Transport

2 Active Transport Requires energy
in the form of ATP (useful cellular energy) movement against the concentration gradient

3 2 methods of Active Transport
Pumps Change in the cell membrane

4 Active Transport Pumps:
Requires a protein channel called a “pump” Requires ATP Movement from low concentration to high concentration moving up the hill hi concentration low concentration Works in the opposite direction of facilitated diffusion.

5 Active transport pump Energy (by way of ATP) forces materials through a protein in the membrane against concentration gradient.

6 Why Pump? Nerve cells need a difference in ions (charge) on either side of the membrane so they can fire.

7 Change in cell membrane (2nd type of active transport process)
Endocytosis Takes in (engulfs) large material Cell membrane moves in until it encapsulates material, becoming a vesicle.

8 Endocytosis: (IN) Two types: Phagocytosis Pinocytosis

9 Phagocytosis: “Cell Eating”
Pseudopods engulf material with extensions of the cell membrane. Ex. White blood cell taking in foreign material for destruction.

10 Phagocytosis:

11 Pinocytosis: “Cell Drinking”
Membrane wraps around a big drop of solution (solute & solvent) and pulls it in.

12 Pinocytosis:

13 Change in cell membrane (2nd type of active transport process)
Endocytosis Takes in (engulfs) large material Cell membrane moves in until it encapsulates material, becoming a vesicle. Exocytosis Vesicle that gets rid of large material

14 Exocytosis: (OUT) Vesicle fuses with cell membrane, releasing contents to outside of cell. ex. Waste ex. Digestive enzymes

15 Exocytosis: (OUT) RNA Rough ER Golgi apparatus Protein in vesicle
Plasma membrane
