3. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Active Transport Requires carrier proteins (solute pumps) Moves solutes against a concentration gradient Types of active transport: Primary active transport Secondary active transport

4. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Primary Active Transport Energy from hydrolysis of ATP causes shape change in transport protein so that bound solutes (ions) are “pumped” across the membrane

5. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Primary Active Transport Sodium-potassium pump (Na + -K + ATPase) Located in all plasma membranes Involved in primary and secondary active transport of nutrients and ions Maintains electrochemical gradients essential for functions of muscle and nerve tissues

Binding of Na+ promotes phosphorylation of the protein by ATP. Cytoplasmic Na + binds to pump protein.

13. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Secondary Active Transport Depends on an ion gradient created by primary active transport Energy stored in ionic gradients is used indirectly to drive transport of other solutes

14. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Secondary Active Transport Cotransport—always transports more than one substance at a time Symport system: Two substances transported in same direction Antiport system: Two substances transported in opposite directions

15. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 3.11 step 1 The ATP-driven Na + -K + pump stores energy by creating a steep concentration gradient for Na + entry into the cell. Na + -K + pump Cytoplasm Extracellular fluid 1

16. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 3.11 step 2 The ATP-driven Na + -K + pump stores energy by creating a steep concentration gradient for Na + entry into the cell. As Na + diffuses back across the membrane through a membrane cotransporter protein, it drives glucose against its concentration gradient into the cell.

17. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Vesicular Transport Transport of large particles, macromolecules, and fluids across plasma membranes Requires cellular energy (e.g., ATP)

18. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Vesicular Transport Functions: Exocytosis—transport out of cell Endocytosis—transport into cell Transcytosis—transport into, across, and then out of cell Substance (vesicular) trafficking—transport from one area or organelle in cell to another

19. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Endocytosis and Transcytosis Involve formation of protein-coated vesicles Often receptor mediated, therefore very selective

20. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 3.12 Coated pit ingests substance. Protein- coated vesicle detaches. Coat proteins detach and are recycled to plasma membrane. Uncoated vesicle fuses with a sorting vesicle called an endosome. Transport vesicle containing membrane components moves to the plasma membrane for recycling. Fused vesicle may (a) fuse with lysosome for digestion of its contents, or (b) deliver its contents to the plasma membrane on the opposite side of the cell (transcytosis).

27. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Endocytosis Phagocytosis—pseudopods engulf solids and bring them into cell’s interior Macrophages and some white blood cells

28. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 3.13a Phagosome (a) Phagocytosis The cell engulfs a large particle by forming pro- jecting pseudopods (“false feet”) around it and en- closing it within a membrane sac called a phagosome. The phagosome is combined with a lysosome. Undigested contents remain in the vesicle (now called a residual body) or are ejected by exocytosis. Vesicle may or may not be protein- coated but has receptors capable of binding to microorganisms or solid particles.

29. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Endocytosis Fluid-phase endocytosis (pinocytosis)— plasma membrane infolds, bringing extracellular fluid and solutes into interior of the cell Nutrient absorption in the small intestine

30. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 3.13b Vesicle (b) Pinocytosis The cell “gulps” drops of extracellular fluid containing solutes into tiny vesicles. No receptors are used, so the process is nonspecific. Most vesicles are protein-coated.

31. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Endocytosis Receptor-mediated endocytosis — clathrin- coated pits provide main route for endocytosis and transcytosis Uptake of enzymes, low-density lipoproteins, iron, and insulin

32. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 3.13c Vesicle Receptor recycled to plasma membrane (c) Receptor-mediated endocytosis Extracellular substances bind to specific receptor proteins in regions of coated pits, enabling the cell to ingest and concentrate specific substances (ligands) in protein-coated vesicles. Ligands may simply be released inside the cell, or combined with a lysosome to digest contents. Receptors are recycled to the plasma membrane in vesicles.

36. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Membrane Potential Separation of oppositely charged particles (ions) across a membrane creates a membrane potential (potential energy measured as voltage) Resting membrane potential (RMP): Voltage measured in resting state in all cells Ranges from –50 to –100 mV in different cells Results from diffusion and active transport of ions (mainly K + )

37. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Generation and Maintenance of RMP 1.The Na + -K + pump continuously ejects Na + from cell and carries K + back in 2.Some K + continually diffuses down its concentration gradient out of cell through K + leakage channels 3.Membrane interior becomes negative (relative to exterior) because of large anions trapped inside cell

38. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Generation and Maintenance of RMP 4.Electrochemical gradient begins to attract K + back into cell 5.RMP is established at the point where the electrical gradient balances the K + concentration gradient 6.A steady state is maintained because the rate of active transport is equal to and depends on the rate of Na + diffusion into cell

39. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 3.15 1 2 3 K + diffuse down their steep concentration gradient (out of the cell) via leakage channels. Loss of K + results in a negative charge on the inner plasma membrane face. K + also move into the cell because they are attracted to the negative charge established on the inner plasma membrane face. A negative membrane potential (–90 mV) is established when the movement of K + out of the cell equals K + movement into the cell. At this point, the concentration gradient promoting K + exit exactly opposes the electrical gradient for K + entry. Potassium leakage channels Protein anion (unable to follow K + through the membrane) Cytoplasm Extracellular fluid
