Active transport

Active transport. Active Transport. Defined : Molecules move from a LOW to a HIGH concentration ATP energy opens/closes protein channel ATP = Adenosine Triphosphate Acts like a pump. Contractile vacuole of a Paramecium. Water being pumped out of this cell to prevent bursting.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Active transport

  2. Active Transport • Defined: Molecules move from a LOW to a HIGH concentration • ATP energy opens/closes protein channel • ATP = Adenosine Triphosphate • Acts like a pump

  3. Contractile vacuole of a Paramecium Water being pumped out of this cell to prevent bursting

  4. Endocytosis • Endocytosis: Process in which the plasma membrane takes in substances (2 types) • 1) Phagocytosis: when a cell engulfs a solid particle • 2) Pinocytosis: when a cell engulfs a liquid particle • Unfortunately, viruses can also enter our cells this way

  5. Endocytosis & the lysosome

  6. Exocytosis • Defined: Process when substances are expelled from the cell • Proteins, nutrients, and waste exit by exocytosis • Vesicle carry & release objects through the plasma membrane

  7. Kobe Kuiz • How is active and passive transport different? • Which molecule powers active transport? • How are endo- and exocytosis similar? Different? • Which cell part controls active transport?
