LEARNING GOALS
We need to understand the basic process of transport across a plasma membrane.
We are learning ...
To understand the difference between passive and active transport
Active Transport
Substances move from a region of low to high concentration
Molecules are going AGAINST the concentration gradient and require ENERGY
Nutrients like vitamins, glucose, and small proteins are taken in the cell in this process
ENERGY: ATPATP: Adenosine Triphosphate
Usable energy for the cell that is used in active transport
created in the mitochondria through the process of cellular respiration
Active Transport Proteins
Molecules such as glucose are transported into the cell by means of a protein pump
Examples:1. Sodium Potassium Pump
2. Hydrogen ion Pump
Sodium-Potassium Pump
3 Sodium (Na+) ions are pumped out of the cell with the help of ATP
2 potassium (K+) ions are pumped in of the cell with the help of ATP
This pump ensures that nerve cells and muscle cells function properly by maintaining these concentration differences

Bulk Transport
Large quantities of material need to enter and exit the cell via Bulk Transport
Use vesicles formed by the membrane to transport large quantities in and out of the cell
All types of bulk transport requires energy in the form of ATP
2 Types of Bulk Transport
1. Endocytosis – bringing large amounts of material inside the cell
2. Exocytosis – bringing large amounts of material out of the cell
Endocytosis
Engulfing substances inside of the cell
2 Types:
1. Phagocytosis – cell eating
2. Pinocytosis – cell drinking
ENDOCYTOSIS: Phagocytosis
transport of solids into the cell
The pseudopods (finger-like projections) enclose the material into a vesicle
Lysosomes fuse with the vesicle and digest the contents and release nutrients into the cytoplasm
PHAGOCYTOSISEXAMPLE
White blood cells use phagocytosis to remove harmful bacteria from the blood and tissues
ENDOCYTOSIS: PinocytosisTransport of fluids into the cell
The cell membrane engulfs a drop of extracellular fluid to release into the cytoplasm
Example: Pinocytosis brings cholesterol molecules into the cell
Exocytosis
• bulk transport that releases material outside of the cell
Examples: • Insulin is released into the bloodstream• Protein packaging for transport out of cell
