Active Transport Flashcards
Active Transport
Cells use an energy source to power the moment
What is active transport?
Moving from low to high
Example of active transport 1
Roots of plants absorb Water & minerals from the soil
Example of active transport 2
Transporting Potasium against the concentration gradient
Active Transport uses transporters true or false?
True it used Transport proteins and transporters
Transport proteins can
Bind both to the desired substance and to the ATP molecules
Example of active transport 3
Sodium-Potassium pump, nerves would die without it
CFTR
Transports chloride ions across the cell membrane
Epithelial Tissue
Is responsible for producing mucus and other bodily fluids
Sodium-Potassium Pump
Forces potassium ions into the cell and pumps sodium ions out
Does ATP “open” the door to the sodium pump?
Yes
