1 Active Transport Cell Membrane Pumps and Vesicle Transport

2 Active Transport  Active transport - movement of materials AGAINST the concentration gradient from low concentration to high concentration  Requires the cell to use energy (ATP)  2 kinds: 1. membrane pumps 2. vesicle transports

3 1. Cell Membrane Pumps  Involve carrier proteins called cell membrane pumps to move materials against the concentration (UP concentration gradient)  Similar to the steps of facilitated transport.  Results in electrical impulses across nerve cells  Ex. Sodium-Potassium Pump

4 2. Vesicle Transport  Some substances (ex. Food) are too BIG to pass through membrane OR large quantities need to pass through the cell large quantities need to pass through the cell  These situations use vesicle transport  Two kinds 1.Endocytosis 2.Exocytosis

5 Endocytosis  Cells ingest external fluid, macromolecules & large particles (including other cells)  External materials are enclosed by part of the cell, forming a pouch  The pouch pinches off cell membrane & becomes a membrane bound organelle called  a vesicle  Vesicles can fuse with lysosomes to digests contents. Two kinds of Endocytosis: 1. Phagocytosis – movement of large particles or whole cells. *Possible feeding method, or a method of defense to destroy bacteria/viruses 2. Pinocytosis – transport of solutes or liquids

6 Phagocytosis (cartoon animation) Pinocytosis (cartoon animation)

7 Phagocytosis (taking place in cells under a microscope)

8 Endocytosis

9 Exocytosis (Reverse of endocytosis)  Vesicles in cytoplasm fuse with cell membrane and RELEASE their contents into the external environment OUTSIDE the cell  Used to release large molecules such as proteins packaged by the golgi apparatus  Used in nervous & endocrine system to control activities in other cells.
