• A
voltage
gradient
across
the
membrane,
which
attracts
positively
charged
ions
and
repels
negatively
charged
ions
This
combination
of
forces
acting
on
an
ion
forms
an
electrochemical
gradient.
Endocytosis
and
Exocytosis:
There
are
two
types
of
bulk
transport,
exocytosis
and
endocytosis,
and
both
require
the
expenditure
of
energy
(ATP).
In
endocytosis,
molecules
that
are
too
large
to
be
transported
by
other
means
are
engulfed
by
an
invagination
of
the
cell
membrane
and
carried
into
the
cell
surrounded
by
a
vesicle.
• Phagocytosis
is
a
form
of
endocytosis
in
which
the
cell
takes
in
larger
particles,
such
as
a
white
blood
cell
engulfing
a
bacterium.
• Receptor-‐mediated
endocytosis
allows
the
cell
to
take
in
very
specific
molecules
(ligands)
that
pair
up
with
specific
receptors
on
the
cell
surface.
Exocytosis
is
the
reverse
of
endocytosis.
Exocytosis
is
a
form
of
active
transport
in
which
a
cell
transports
molecules
(such
as
proteins)
out
of
the
cell
(exo-‐
+
cytosis)
by
expelling
them
in
an
energy-‐
using
process.
