Transcript of Active Transport. Moves molecules from low to high concentration AGAINST a concentration gradient...
Active TransportActive Transport
Active Transport• Moves molecules from
low to high concentration
• AGAINST a concentration gradient
• Requires energy, so cell must use ATP
Transport of Large Molecules• Bulk transport brings in or takes out
large molecules such as food, water, or solids▫Endocytosis (in)▫Exocytosis (out)
Endocytosis: Phagocytosis• Engulfing large particles of food• Cell surrounds food• Food is enclosed in a vesicle and taken into cell
Endocytosis: Pinocytosis
• Like phagocytosis, except liquid is being taken in
Receptor-mediated Endocytosis• Molecule binds
to receptor protein
▫ specific shapes!
• Protein-molecule migrates to coated pit
• Pit pinches off, forms a vacuole
• Receptor protein migrates back to membrane
Exocytosis• Substance is contained within vesicle• Vesicle meets up with inner face of cell
membrane, fuses• Contents are expelled to outside
