Active Transport Overview

  • Requires free energy (ATP) to move molecules

SLIDE 3

Active Transport: Membrane Pumps

  • Uses membrane proteins embedded in the

membrane to move solutes against their gradients

  • Allows cells to maintain concentration

gradients that differ from their surroundings

  • Some pumps establish and maintain

membrane potentials (voltage)

  • Examples: sodium-potassium pump, proton

pump

Factors Affecting Cellular Transport

  • Chemical driving force
  • Electrical driving force
  • Electrochemical driving force (combination)

Sodium-Potassium Pump

(video link – please watch – 2:26)

  • Pumps sodium ions (Na+) out of the cell and

potassium ions (K+) into the cell

  • Regulates osmolarity of cytosol by controlling

the solute concentration inside the cell

  • Maintains and restores the resting potential
  • f cells, such as neurons, cardiac and kidney
  • Primary pump in animal cells

Proton Pump

(video link – please watch – 1:04)

  • Moves protons (H+) against the concentration

gradient in order to generate a proton gradient across the membrane

  • Used in the synthesis of ATP during cellular

respiration

  • Causes changes in pH

Active Transport: Bulk Transport

  • Involves changes in the membrane structure
  • Transports macromolecules (proteins,

polysaccharides, etc.) by packaging the materials into vesicles

slide-12
SLIDE 12

Exocytosis

  • Cell secretes large molecules by fusion of the

vesicles with the cell membrane

slide-13
SLIDE 13

Exocytosis Example

  • Release of neurotransmitters between neurons
slide-14
SLIDE 14

Endocytosis

  • Region of the cell membrane sinks inward and

pinches off to form a vesicle to bring extracellular material into the cell

slide-15
SLIDE 15

Endocytosis: Phagocytosis

  • Cells engulf large particles or other cells using

pseudopods

  • Example: white blood cell consuming bacteria,

ameba consuming food

slide-16
SLIDE 16
slide-17
SLIDE 17

Endocytosis: Pinocytosis

  • Droplets of extracellular fluid are taken into

the cell in small vesicles

  • Example: Uptake of nutrients by the microvilli
  • f the small intestine
slide-18
SLIDE 18

Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis

  • Enables cells to acquire specific substances

from extracellular fluid

  • Molecules bind to receptors
  • Example: cholesterol uptake from the blood
