3.4 Flashcards
Membrane transport process for which ATP is directly or indirectly required
Active transport
Move, solutes, most importantly ions uphill against a concentration granite
Solute pumps
The two transported substances move in the same direction
Symport system
The transport substances wave to each other as they cross the membrane in opposite directions
Antiport system
Hydrolysis of ATP results in the phosphorylation of the transport protein. This step causes the protein to change its shape in such a manner that it pumps the bound solute across the membrane
Primary active transport
A primary active transport system that simultaneously drives an Na+ out of the cell against the Steep concentration gradient and pumps K+ back in
Sodium potassium pump also called Na+ -K+ ATPase
They combine differences in concentration and charge, influences the distribution and direction of diffusion of ions
Electrochemical gradient
A type of active transport in which the energy needed to drive to transport process is provided by the electro chemical gradient of another molecule [which moves downhill through the transport protein, at the same time, as another molecule is moved uphill against its gradient) also called cotransport or symport [when the two transport molecules move in the same direction] or antiport (when the two transport molecules move in opposite directions.]
Secondary active transport
In …. Fluids containing large particles and macromolecules are transported across cellular membranes inside bubble like membrane sacs called vesicles.
Vesicular transport
Moving substances into across and then out of the cell
Transcytosis
Moving substances from one area in the cell to another
Vesicular trafficking
1) coated pit ingests substance
2) protein coated vesicle detaches
3) coat proteins are recycled to plasma membrane
4) un coated vesicle fuses with a sorting vesicle called an endosome
5) transport vesicle containing membrane components moved to the plasma membrane for recycling
6) 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)
Endocytosis
The cell engulfs, a large particle by forming projecting pseudopods (false feet) around it and enclosing it in a membrane sac also called a phagosome. The phagosome combined with a lysosome. Undigested contents remain in the vesicle [now called a residual body] or ejected by exocytosis. Vesicles may or may not be protein coated, but has receptors capable of binding to Microorganisms or solid particles
Phagocytosis
Vesicle formed as a result of phagocytosis (engulfing of foreign solids by cells)
Phagosome
Most phagocytes move about by ….. that is their cytoplasm flows into temporary extensions that allow them to creep along
Amoeboid motion
