Q

Active transport across a membrnae mechanism

A
  • molecule binds to the receptors in the carrier protein
  • inside the cell ATP binds and is hydrolysed into ADP
  • This cause the protein to change shape opening up the other side
  • the phosphate molecule is released nd recombinds to foem ATP
  • the carrier protein returns to its original shpe

its a selective process

Q

Endocytosis mechanism

A

transport bulk material into a cell.Phagocytosis for liquids and pinocytosis for liquids
1.a cell can suround the substance with a section of the plasm membrne
2.that membrane pinches off to form vesicle
3.this is a active process and requires ATP
