1 Active transport

2 Active Transport Defined: Molecules move from a LOW to a HIGH concentration Against (up) the concentration gradient ATP energy opens/closes protein channel ATP = Adenosine Triphosphate Acts like a pump for ions

3 Endocytosis Endocytosis: Process in which the plasma membrane takes in substances (2 types) 1) Phagocytosis: when a cell engulfs a solid particle WBCs are called phagocytes 2) Pinocytosis: when a cell engulfs a liquid particle Unfortunately, viruses can also enter our cells this way

4 Amoeba and endocytosis

5 Endocytosis & the lysosome

6 Exocytosis Defined: Process when substances are expelled from the cell
Proteins, nutrients, and waste exit by exocytosis Vesicle carry & release objects through the plasma membrane

7 Contractile vacuole of a Paramecium
