1
Cellular Transport Molecules moving across the cell membrane Cell Membrane is selectively permeable (lets some things in, some things out, but not everything)
2
2 Main Types of Transport 1. Passive Transport “down hill” 2. Active Transport “up hill”
3
Passive Transport a. no energy requirement b. Caused by random movement of molecules c. Molecules move with the concentration gradient
4
Concentration Gradient difference in the concentration of a substance across a space
5
Examples of Passive Transport Diffusion molecules move from high concentration to low concentration
6
Equilibrium balance of molecules on both sides of membrane
7
Examples of Passive Transport Osmosis - diffusion of water Ion Channels- charged molecules moved across membrane by proteins
8
Examples of Passive Transport Facilitated Diffusion- molecules moved across membrane by carrier proteins
9
Active Transport a. Requires Energy (ATP) b. Molecules move from areas of low concentration to areas of high concentration c. Molecules move against the concentration gradient
10
Examples of Active Transport Carrier Protein Pumps Movement of molecules by vesicles
11
Carrier Protein Pumps- pump ions across membrane Sodium/Potassium Pump - Ion exchange - Na + moved out / K + moved in - K + moved out / Na + moved in
12
Movement by vesicles Vesicles form Move molecules across the membrane
13
Movement by vesicles Endocytosis - into a cell
14
Movement by vesicles Exocytosis – out of a cell
15
Passive vs. Active Transport
