active transport
• uses ATP to move substances against concentration gradient
primary active transport
• direct use of ATP • ex: sodium potassium pump
secondary active transport
when a cell uses energy that was already stored in an ion gradient (usually sodium). The cell does NOT use ATP directly, but it uses the gradient created by ATP. 1. symport - move in the same direction 2. antiport - move in opposite directions
endocytosis and exocytosis
• types of active transport using vesicles
channels
• are proteins that form pores for specific ions/molecules • move substances down concentration gradient (so passive) • they allow fast movement of ions and water
channel types
• aquaporins • ion Chanels - voltage gated - ligand gated - mechanically gated
aquaporins
• water channels for osmosis
voltage gated ion channel
open with electrical changes
ligand gated ion channel
open when something binds
mechanically gated ion channel
open when stretched or pushed
what is exocytosis
• vesicle fuses w membrane • releases content outside of cell
exocytosis is used for
• waste removal • sending out proteins/hormones • adding new membrane components
endocytosis
• cell brings material in by forming vesicles 1. pinocytosis 2. phagocytosis 3. receptor mediated endocytosis
pinocytosis
• cell drinking • takes in fluid + solutes • non specific
phagocytosis
• cell eating • takes in large particles (bacteria, cell debris) • used by immune cells
receptor mediated endocytosis
• highly specific • uses receptors to bring in certain molecules like LDL cholestrol
rough ER
• has ribosomes on the surface • makes proteins to be 1. exported from cell 2. inserted into the membrane 3. sent to organelles • sends proteins to Golgi for packaging
smooth ER
• no ribosome • makes lipids -detoxifies drugs • stores calcium (especially in muscle)
protein chain enters the ER
• it is folded and modified
if a protein misfolds
• it gets recycled
if enzymes in ER add carbohydrate groups
• the protein becomes a glycoprotein
mitochondria
• powerhouse because it makes ATP
mitochondria membranes
• outer membrane - barrier, contains porins (channels) • inner membrane - highly folded into cristae to increase surface area for ATP production
mitochondria intermembrane space
• space between outer and inner membranes • important for building the proton gradient used in ATP production
