1 Active Transport

2 Moves molecules from low to high concentration AGAINST a concentration gradient Requires energy, so cell must use ATP

3 Transport of Large Molecules Bulk transport brings in or takes out large molecules such as food, water, or solids ▫Endocytosis (in) ▫Exocytosis (out)

4 Endocytosis: Phagocytosis Engulfing large particles of food Cell surrounds food Food is enclosed in a vesicle and taken into cell

5 Endocytosis: Pinocytosis Like phagocytosis, except liquid is being taken in

6 Receptor-mediated Endocytosis Molecule binds to receptor protein ▫specific shapes! Protein-molecule migrates to coated pit Pit pinches off, forms a vacuole Receptor protein migrates back to membrane

7 Exocytosis Substance is contained within vesicle Vesicle meets up with inner face of cell membrane, fuses Contents are expelled to outside

8 Active Transport in Action
