HS-LS1-3 Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence that feedback mechanisms maintain homeostasis.

Learning Goals (I can...):
1. Explain how concentration gradients and membrane permeability affect the rate of transport.
2. provide examples of pumps and other membrane structures that are used in active transport.
3. provide a short list of similarities and differences between active and passive transport.
In the next section, you will watch a video related to active transport.
As you watch, think about the following questions:
  1. What do you think is occurring?
  2. What part of the cell is involved?
  3. What is needed in order for the observed process to occur?
Question 1
1.

Briefly explain what you think happened in the video.
(I have to grade this, manually)

What happened?

In the video, you saw an example of how the immune system works to destroy foreign cells and substances.

The large cell in the center was a human macrophage, a part of the immune system. The little cells shaped like donuts were red blood cells from a sheep. The human macrophage engulfed the sheep blood cells because it did not recognize them (remember the glycoproteins and glycolipids are used to identify the cell) and attacked them as invading or foreign cells. When cells engulf material such as other cells or invading bacteria, this is a form of active transport.

Question 18
18.

Use the information from the video to help you match the vocabulary terms to their definition.
exocytosis
used when molecules pass through the cell membrane against the concentration gradient with the use of ATP
protein pump
occurs when a vesicle merges with the cell membrane to bring material into the cell
passive transport
occurs when a vesicle merges with the cell membrane to release material from the cell
endocytosis
the movement of molecules across a cell membrane using ATP
active transport
movement of molecules across a cell membrane without the use of ATP
Why does sodium and potassium ions need a protein pump to pass through the cell membrane (select all that apply)?
The ions are moving against the concentration gradient.
The ions have a charge and cannot pass directly through the cell membrane.
ATP is not essential with either type of transport through the cell membrane.
Energy is needed to move the ions.
Protein pumps are efficient because they...(select all that apply)
use energy
can move two types of molecules
can only move one type of molecule
use diffusion
Use the information from the video(s) to help you answer the following:
Requires ATP (input of energy).
Moves down the concentration gradient.
Moves up the concentration gradient.
Used to move materials through the cell membrane.
Active Transport
Passive Transport
_____ occurs when a vesicle merges with the cell membrane to release proteins (select all that apply).
Endocytosis
Passive transport
Exocytosis
Active transport with a protein pump
If molecules are moving from an area of low concentration to high concentration, _____ is needed (select all that apply).

Endocytosis relies on which two structures to move molecules in and out of the cell (select all that apply)?
Cell membrane and cell wall
Mitochondria and vesicle
