Document Summary

Transport polar (hydrophilic) and charged molecules (don"t interact with hydrophobic tails well, need protein-lined paths) Ions, sugars, amino acids, nucleotides, various cell metabolites. Each transport protein is selective: transports specific class of molecules (or one specific molecule) Different cell membranes have a different complement of transport proteins (plasma membrane vs. membranes of organelles) Part of what gives organelles functions, different functions from membrane. E. g. glucose has to bet taken up from bloodstream and transported through cell, paths that do that are more at membrane. Proteins can carry out both passive and active transport. Diffusion: molecules diffuse from high to low concentration. One of the ways molecules can pass through membrane if they can pass through hydrophobic pore of membrane. Many need channels, move molecules by passive transport (proteins) Transporter: can move by passive or active transport. Active transport: move against concentration gradient, need input of energy. Outside of plasma membrane has net positive charge, inside has net negative charge.
