    Chapter 3 - Movement Into and Out of The Cell - Active Transport

    Uploaded by

    The document discusses passive and active transport across cell membranes. Passive transport is the diffusion of substances down their concentration gradient and does not require energy. Active transport moves substances against their concentration gradient and uses transport proteins and cellular energy (ATP) to do so. It discusses how active transport proteins transport molecules and larger particles can be transported via endocytosis and exocytosis, which involves vesicles budding inward or outward from the cell membrane.

    Passive Transport

    Review
    Solute – substance being dissolved in the
    solution.
    Solvent - substance in which a solute is dissolved
    to form a solution.
    Concentration - the amount of solute per unit of
    solvent.
    Diffusion - movement of material across the cell
    membrane from a region of high
    concentration to a region of low
    concentration, energy is not required
    Equilibrium – concentration is the same
    throughout a system
    Active Transport
     Cells often have to move materials
    against the concentration gradient

    The movement of material across the cell


    membrane against the concentration
    gradient is called ACTIVE TRANSPORT
    Active Transport
     uses energy (ATP)
     moves molecules from a
    region of low concentration
    to a region of high
    concentration.
     active transport is
    carried out by transport
    proteins which are
    imbedded in the cell
    membrane.
    Active Transport
    Molecule to be
    transported
    Transport
    Protein

    Molecule being
    transported
    Active Transport
     Larger molecules and clumps of material can
    also be transported across the cell membrane.

     The transport of larger materials sometimes


    results in changes in the shape of the cell
    membrane.

     Larger molecules are transported by processes


    called ENDOCYTOSIS and EXOCYTOSIS
    Types of Endocytosis
    Phagocytosis:
    particles
    taken into cell

    Pinocytosis:
    liquid taken
    into the cell
    Endocytosis & Exocytosis
    Exocytosis
    Movement of large
    materials out of the
    cell.
     Vesicles form
    around a particle.
     The vesicles combine
    with the cell
    membrane.
     The particle is
    expelled from the
    cell.
    Examples of active transport include:
    uptake of glucose by epithelial cells in the villi of the small
    intestine and by kidney tubules in the nephron
    uptake of ions from soil water by root hair cells in plants
    •Active transport works by using carrier proteins embedded in the cell
    membrane to pick up specific molecules and take them through the
    cell membrane against their concentration gradient:
    1.Substance combines with carrier protein molecule in the cell
    membrane
    3.Substance released into cell
    2.Carrier transports substances across membrane using energy
    from respiration to give them the kinetic energy needed to
    change shape and move the substance through the cell membrane
