Pregunta Respuesta
What are the 3 types of transport mechanisms which are active? Active transport Endocytosis Exocytosis
What does it mean by 'active'? Energy (ATP) is required for the process to occur
Define active transport The movement of molecules across the membrane against the concentration gradient using energy from respiration
How does active transport work? 1. The molecule/ion combines with a specific carrier protein 2. ATP transfers a phosphate group to the carrier protein on the inside of the membrane 3. The carrier protein changes shape, which carries the molecule/ion to the inside of the membrane 4. The molecule/ion is released to the inside of the membrane and the carrier protein reverts to its original shape
Due to the energy needed for active transport, what are the characteristics of the cells involved? Cells involved... Tend to contain many mitochondria Have a high rate of respiration
What are the factors that affect the rate of active transport? Temperature (too high = proteins denature) Oxygen concentration Presence of poisons (e.g. cyanide)
What are the two types of endocytosis? Phagocytosis Pinocytosis
What happens during endocytosis? During endocytosis, the cell wraps the cell-surface membrane around the material and brings it into the cytoplasm inside a vesicle.
What is phagocytosis? Solid material is taken into the cell in a vesicle. Lysosomes fuse with the vesicle, emptying their enzymes into it. The enzymes digest the material and the products are absorbed into the cytoplasm.
Give an example of phagocytosis White blood cells (phagocytes) remove bacteria/cell debris by phagocytosis
What is pinocytosis? Liquid material is taken into the cell in a vesicle. Lysosomes fuse with the vesicle, emptying their enzymes into it. The enzymes digest the material and the products are absorbed into the cytoplasm.
Give an example of pinocytosis A human egg cell can take up nutrients from surrounding cells by pinocytosis
What is exocytosis? Exocytosis is the passage of materials out of the cell
TRUE OR FALSE: The material that is secreted via exocytosis is waste material FALSE Often, the material is a useful secretion, as in the case of digestive enzymes, hormones or mucus
How does exocytosis work? Secretory vesicles carry their contents to the cell-surface membrane. The vesicle merges with the membrane and the secretion is released
