1
Q

Importance of Transport

A

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

Q

Passive transport

A
  • 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

Q
  1. Simple Diffusion
A
  • movement of small/non-polar molecules
  • Hydrophobic molecules, uncharged polar molecules, and ions can pass through

Q
  1. Facilitated Diffusion
A
  • 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

Q
  1. Osmosis
A
  • Passive transport through a membrane
  • Water moves form low to high solute concentration

Determined by shape:
1. Hypotonic
2.Hypertonic
3.Isotonic

Q

Solute Concentrations

A
  • 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)

A
  • Moves ONLY positively charged ions
  • Helps establish electrochemical gradient
  • Important for nerve functioning

Q
  1. Secondary active transport
A
  • Uses energy built up from primary active transport
  1. Symport:
  • Transported substance move in the same direction
  1. Antiport
    - Transported substances move in opposite directions

Q
  1. Exocytosis
A
  • Transport of large substances form inside—> inside of cell
  • Uses vesicals
  • Reqiures ATP

Q
  1. Endocytosis
A
  • Transport of substances from outside —> inside of cell
  1. Pinocytosis (cell drinking)
  2. Receptor-mediated endocytosis
    • have molecules attached to receptor Protiens in order to pass through cell
  3. Phagocytosis (cell eating)
  • Dead cell, bacteria, foreign material
