transports (active, passive etc) Flashcards
moves a substance against its concentration gradient of low to high
active transport
what are some functions of active transport?
uptake of nutrients in the cell
removing waste
maintain the ions in a gradient
why does active transport require energy?
because it’s moving a gradient from LOW to high which needs energy
active transport requires membrane proteins that will help with the transport of specific molecules, which proteins are they?
integral proteins!
a separation of charge across the membrane
membrane potential
what is membrane potential caused by?
its caused by the concentration gradient of ions
where is the most amount of negative ions found in the membrane?
inside membrane
where are most amount of positive charges found in the membrane?
outside membrane
what are the to types of active transport?
primary active transport and secondary active transport
what’s the difference between primary active and secondary active transport?
the difference between these is that primary gets its energy derived from ATP, whereas in secondary, the energy comes from energy stored in the ionic concentration between the two difference sides of the membrane
what are some similarities between primary and secondary?
both use transport proteins (they get their energies to move these proteins differently though)
what does primary active transport TRANSPORT?
it transports positvely charged ions against their concentration gradient
what does this transportation cause?
it creates a membrane potential
what are some examples of a primary active transport?
- proton (H+) pump
- sodium-potassium pump
what does ATP hydrolysis do to transport proteins though?
it causes transport proteins to change shape
