1
Active transport
2
Active Transport Defined: Molecules move from a LOW to a HIGH concentration ATP energy needed to fight diffusion ATP = Adenosine Triphosphate ATP activates pumps (see animation)
3
Contractile vacuole of a Paramecium
As water enters this cell by diffusion, it is immediately pumped out to prevent bursting
4
Endocytosis Endocytosis: Process in which the plasma membrane takes in substances (2 types) 1) Phagocytosis: when a cell engulfs a solid particle 2) Pinocytosis: when a cell engulfs a liquid particle Unfortunately, viruses can also enter our cells this way
5
Endocytosis & the lysosome
The bacteria is engulfed by phagocytosis The bacteria is placed inside a lysosome are destroyed
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
Kobe Kuiz How area active and passive transport different?
Which molecule powers active transport? How are endo- and exocytosis similar? Different? Which cell part controls active transport?
