Review: Passive Transport includes 1) simple diffusion, 2) facilitated diffusion, and 3) osmosis.
Active transport is different than simple diffusion
Active transport is also different than simple diffusion
Active transport uses energy from the breakdown of ATP.
ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate. The "tri" means there are 3 phosphates in this molecule.
Transport proteins share these common characteristics:
There are two types of endocytosis
The difference between phagocytosis and pinocytosis is that phagocytosis takes in liquids and pinocytosis takes in large solid particles.
A cell may transport a substance in a vesicle if the substance is too large to cross the membrane.
During endocytosis, the vesicle membrane fuses with a lysosome, and the membrane and it contents are broken down by lysosomal enzymes.
Practice: Go to classzone.com, Animations, Unit 2 Cells, Chapter 3, Get Through a Cell Membrane; answer the questions below to demonstrate your success.
What was needed to get sugar across the membrane?
What was needed to get waste out of the cell (exocytosis)?
What was required to get oxygen and water across the cell membrane?
What was needed to move charged ions across the cell membrane?
What was required to move proteins across the cell membrane?
