Vascula transport in cells\ Flashcards
movement of small substances across membrane
simple diffusion
channels
carrier proteins
describe simple diffusion
small non-polar molecules pass directly thru the lemma
what moves faster and slower by diffusion
lipophilic substances ( water slow )
describe channels & movement by channels
multipass proteins from translemma pores allowing small molecules mainly ions to pass through
aquaporins
-proteins channels for water
describe carriers and movement by carriers
transmembrane proteins bind to small water solube molecules and transcolate them by conformational changes
energy for diffusion, channel and carrier
-substances moves via their own kinetic energy down a conc grad
contrast to passive methods
-membrane pumps which r enzymes for active transports that move substances against conc grad with energy form ATP hydrolysis
how are large molecules moves
- endocytosis ( into cell )
- exocytosis ( out of cell )
3 types of endocytosis
- phagocytois
- pinocytosis
- receptor mediated endocytosis`
describe phagocytosis, where prominent and type of substances taken in
- cell extends cytoplasmic and membrane folds called pseudopodia which surround particle and infuse around it engulfing it into cell as phagosome
- engulf bacteria or dead cell remanants
- prominent in macrophages
what is phagocytosis dependant on
-cytoskeletal changes
describe pinocytosis and use
-small invaginations of cell lemma an dcyto wc fuse and trap ecm fluid and its dissolved paticles. the pit then pinches inward into cell forming pinocytotic vescicle
bulk transport of substances across cell as vescicle can fuse with membrane from other side of cell and relase contents ( transcytosis )
receptor mediated describe
-ligands ( susbtances with high affinity for receptors ) bind to receptors ( membrane receptors ) forming receptor ligand complex. when many are bound they aggregate in one membrane region ( attach to adapter protein which then attaches to clathrin coat forming coated pit), invaginate ( due to clathrin ) and pinch off inwardly(due to dynamins which surround and pinch of membrane)
fate of endosomes
-Endosomes enters cell as coated vacuole
-coat proteins leave vacuole and are recycled
-endosomes then becomes early endosome ( ligand-receptor complex detaches and vacuole splits into 2 )
-vacuole with receptors recycled
-vacule with ligands is now late endosomes wc will either
1 transcytosis
2 fuse with lysosome
