What is active transport
Movement of molecules o ions into or out of a cel from a region of lower concentration to higher concentration
What does active transport require
Energy (supplied by ATP)
Carrier protein (act s pumps as they span across the membrane)
What is the first step
Molecules or ions that are o be transported bind to receptors on carrier proteins on the outside
What happens on the inside with ATP
ATP binds to carrier protein and it becomes hydrolysed to form ADP and phosphate
What does the phosphate and Carrier protein do?
Causes Protein changes shape and opens up he inside of the cell which allows molecules or ions to be released into the cell
What happens after the molecules or ions get released into the cell?
Phosphate molecule is released from the carrier protein and goes from ADP back to ATP and carrier proteins go back to original shape
Active transport is a —- process
Selective
Specific substances are transported by specific carrier proteins
What is it called when molecules are too large to be transported by carrier or channel proteins
Bulk transport (THATS what happens instead)
What are the 2 types of endpcytosis called?
Phagocytosis - solids
Pinocytosis - liquids
How does endpcytosis occur?
Plasmammebrane bends inwards when in contact with the material
Enfolds material until it infuses and forms a vesicle
Vesicle moves into cytoplasm for transfer for further processing
What happens during exocytosis
Reverse
Vesicles fuse with the plasmamembrane and the contents of the vesicles released outside the cell
