Moving Molecules into or out of Cells- Overview of Passive & Active Transport

I. Passive Transport1. Always “down” a concentration gradient

2. Always involves proteins calledA. ChannelsB. CarriersC. Pores… “porins”

II. Active Transport1. Always “down” a concentration gradient2. Small molecules transported through

A. Protein Pumps3. Large molecules transported by vesicles

A. EndocytosisB. Exocytosis

1. Multi-pass proteins create openings in the membrane

Active Transport - Cotransport

Example of Glucose Transport From Intestine to Blood

Bulk Transport Across Membranes• Exocytosis - discharge of material from vesicles at

the cell surface

• Endocytosis - enveloping food– phagocytosis - particulate material– pinocytosis - liquid– receptor-mediated - transport of specific molecules
