Transport Systems
Passive Transport No energy expended by the cell Goes downhill with the concentration gradient Substances move from [HI] [LOW] endocytosis, pinocytosis, Examples: diffusion, osmosis, phagocytosis
Active Transport Requires cell to expend energy Goes uphill or against the concentration gradient Involves embedded proteins (transport proteins) acting like pumps Other examples: Exocytosis,
facilitated diffusion
DIFFUSION
Solution = solute + solvent Solute- substance that is dissolved Solvent- substance that does the dissolving (fluid) Solute particles dissolved in a solvent are constantly in motion. Temperature motion
Diffusion
The net flow of solute continues until equilibrium is reached. Solute continue to move across the membrane, but for every one that moves in one direction, another moves in the opposite direction, so there is no net movement. [HI] [LOW] [MED] [MED]
Facilitated Diffusion
Diffusion made easy No energy required, goes with the concentration gradient Embedded proteins (channels) provide a convenient pathway for LARGE and/or charged substances to pass thru cell membrane. Also called passive diffusion Another type of embedded protein, a carrier/transport protein, grabs hold and carries the substance thru a cell membrane. Still, no energy required Ions, sugars, etc now can enter and leave cells
Facilitated Diffusion
Protein Channel
Facilitated Diffusion
Facilitated Diffusion
Substances move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration
NO ENERGY REQUIRED
IT IS A PASSIVE PROCESS
OSMOSIS
Diffusion of water Passive process, does not require energy The membrane is permeable to water, the solvent. The membrane is not permeable (impermeable) to the solute.
Osmosis
hypertonic
ACTIVE TRANSPORT
Cells use energy (ATP) to move large molecules or ions thru a cell membrane Usually, these substances are moved uphill or against the concentration gradient. In other words, the substances are moved in the opposite direction of diffusion (passive transport) The embedded proteins involved are often called PUMPS Examples: pumps, exocytosis, endocytosis, phagocytosis, pinocytosis.
Active Transport: Pinocytosis Cells actively engulf large quantities of fluid (water)
Vesicles/vacuoles
