Biology Flashcards
what is active transport?
the movement across a semi-permeable membrane that requires energy input from the cell
How does active transport work?
- active transport involves protein embedded in the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane.
- ## active transport cost energy as substances are moving from low concentration to high concentration
when does active transport happen?
it happens when controlling how transport protein opens and closes to one side of the membrane to another.
what is ATP?
The “battery” of the cell
is a phosphate groups is removed, and energy is used from that reaction to change the shape of the protein
why does cell need to pump out of calcium?
- calcium is the signaling molecule
-helps the the muscle contraction and relax
what effects active transport?
- temperature
- concertation of ions/molecule that being transport
- ATP availability
what is bulk transport?
the name of two process that move very large molecules, small amount of fluid or large particles
what is exocytosis?
- a vesicel containing substance to be removed from the cells fuses with the cell membrane
what does exocytosis carries out?
-large waste
-signaling proteins
what is endocytosis?
part of the membrane folds in to form a vesicle inside, containing material that was outside the cell membrane
what is phagocytosis?
cell eating
when the material being engulfed
what is pincytosis?
cell drinking
water within soluble particles being engulfed
what does endocytosis carry in?
-large molecules
-large material
-large amounts of water
what does ATP stand for?
Adenosine triphosphate
“charged battery”
two high power bonds
what does ADP stand for?
Adenosine diphosphate
“Battery with only partial charge left.”
