Document Summary

Chapter 5 cell membranes part 2 of 2. Cells need to move molecules against a concentration gradient (from low concentration to high concentration) This requires energy because it fighting diffusion. (like pumping water uphill) Active transport of solutes against a concentration gradient: fig. Active transport is an energy-requiring process during which a transport protein pumps a molecule across a membrane against its concentration gradient. Used to maintain ion gradients- (e. g. , ca2+ ions) *energy is also required for endocytosis and exocytosis. -endocytosis is the cellular uptake of large molecules (a. k. a. macromolecules) and particulate substances (food) by the localized pinching off of a region of the plasma membrane to form a vesicle. Endocytosis, the transport of large molecules: phagocytosis, pinocytosis, receptor-mediated endocytosis. 1) phagocytosis - (large particles) (cell eating) is the endocytosis of solid particles. Fig 5. 14: pinocytosis - (small particles cell drinking) is the endocytosis of fluid droplets fig.
