Section II Active Transport Flashcards
Endocytosis involves
Phagocytosis and pinocytosis
Process by which cells take in large particles
Endocytosis
What does the sodium potassium pump use as an energy source
ATP
Food particles or microscopic particles are brought in
Cellular eating
Phagocytosis
What is the sodium potassium pump important for
- muscle contractions
- nerve impulses
- kidney function
Solutes or fluids are brought in
Cellular drinking/gulping
Pinocytosis
What is active transport
Movement of any substance across a cell membrane that does require energy
Processes used for moving substance across the membrane that are too large to pass through a channel
Endocytosis and exocytosis
2 forms that cells bring things in
Phagocytosis and pinocytosis
Process that removes large waste products from the cell
Exocytosis
What is the sodium potassium pump
Movement of sodium and potassium against the concentration gradient
