Active Transport. Exam1 Flashcards
What is the second mechanism of active transport?
Active transport requires specific carrier proteins coupled to an ATPASE enzyme
What is the first mechanism of active transport?
Added energy is required for active transport supplied by ATP via Na ATPASE enzyme
What is the third mechanism of active transport?
Unlike carrier proteins for passive transport the carrier proteins for active transport are only able to bind and carry the molecule or ion in one direction.
What’s the first rule of active transport ?
Transport solute is usually from low concentration to high concentration (uni-directional)
What is the second rule of active transport?
The greater the difference in concentration, the greater the energy required to maintain it.
What does the thyroid gland do in active transport?
Active iodine ion (I-) uptake
What does the small intestine do during active transport?
Active transport of glucose and other simple sugars, amino acids, nucleic acids, Ca2+ ion, Fe3+ ion
What does the kidney do in active transport ?
Active transport of Na+ion, Cl-ion, K+ion, H+ion, glucose, amino acids, Ca2+ion, HCO3-ion
