7. Membrane Transport Flashcards
Channel Protein
Opens up a hole to help molecules cross the membrane
Transporter-mediated transport
Includes both passive and active
Uses a transporter protein
Passive transport
Involves protein
No energy input
Down C gradient
Active transport
Protein
Energy input (typically ATP)
Against C gradient
electrochemical gradient across a cell membrane
Typically negative inside
Ion diffusion across membrane
Cation relatively easy
Anion relatively difficult
Coupled Transporter
Uses one solute’s concentration gradient as the energy source to transport another solute
ATP-Driven Pump
Uses ATP hydrolysis to transport a solute
Light-Driven Pump
Uses photon energy as a source for transport
Uniport
One molecule is transported
Symport
Two molecules move in the same direction
Antiport
Molecules move the opposite direction
Glucose transport into Cell
- Occluded-Empty
- Outward open, sodium and glucose binds
- Occluded-occupied
- Inward-open
Repeat
Glucose intake in intestine
Symport - Glucose and Na+
Glucose diffuses out into extracellular fluid
Na-K pump transports Na inside
P type pump
Ions out of cell
