Active Transport Chapter 7.3
Active Transport Three types of active transport Cell membrane pumps Endocytosis Exocytosis
Cell Membrane pumps Movement of molecules against the concentration gradient Small molecules and ions carried across membrane with membrane proteins that act like pumps Calcium potassium Sodium
Active Transport Pumps Cells concentrate substance in a particular location even when the forces of diffusion might work to move these substances in the opposite direction Converts ATP to ADP
Active Transport
Endocytosis Process of taking material into the cell Created by an in folding of the membrane Forms a vesicle Phagocytosis Pinocytosis
Types of Endocytosis Phagocytosis Pinocytosis Cell eating Cell drinking
Exocytosis Release of material into the extracellular space Vesicle fuses to membrane to release material
