Importance of Transport
Waste removal, nutrients to enter
Some materials can enter passively, while others require energy to be transported actively
Size and charge determine the ease of a molecule/ion can pass through
Passive transport
- Movement of substances without the use of energy
- Diffusion drives passive transport
- Molecules move from high to low concentration
Dynamic Equalibrim:
- equal concentration on both sides
- Simple Diffusion
- movement of small/non-polar molecules
- Hydrophobic molecules, uncharged polar molecules, and ions can pass through
- Facilitated Diffusion
- Use of proteins to pass through
- Use of intergral proteins
Channel proteins:
- Forms hydrophonic pathways through membrane
- Trnasports cetain ions (Na, K, Cl)
- Involved in nerve signal and muscle contractions
Carrier Proteins:
- Physically binds to carrier protein to pass through
-Binds to specific substances
- Changes shape of substance to transport
- Osmosis
- Passive transport through a membrane
- Water moves form low to high solute concentration
Determined by shape:
1. Hypotonic
2.Hypertonic
3.Isotonic
Solute Concentrations
- Hypotonic Solution
- low concentration of solutes outside cell =
water rushes into cell - Isotonic Solution
- equal concentration of solutes inside and
outside of cell = no net movement of water - Hypertonic Solution
- high concentration of solutes outside cell =
water rushes out of cell
**Plants are supposed to be hypotonic (turgid)
Active transport
- Uses energy
- Moves against concentration gradient
- Uses an ATP pump
- Primary active transport
- Moves ONLY positively charged ions
- Helps establish electrochemical gradient
- Important for nerve functioning
- Secondary active transport
- Uses energy built up from primary active transport
- Symport:
- Transported substance move in the same direction
- Antiport
- Transported substances move in opposite directions
- Exocytosis
- Transport of large substances form inside—> inside of cell
- Uses vesicals
- Reqiures ATP
- Endocytosis
- Transport of substances from outside —> inside of cell
- Pinocytosis (cell drinking)
- Receptor-mediated endocytosis
- have molecules attached to receptor Protiens in order to pass through cell
- Phagocytosis (cell eating)
- Dead cell, bacteria, foreign material
