• Review: Passive and active transport compared
Passive transport. Substances diffuse spontaneously down
their concentration gradients, crossing a membrane with no use
of energy by the cell. The rate of diffusion can be greatly
increased by transport proteins in the membrane.
Active transport. Some transport proteins
act as pumps, moving substances across a
membrane against their concentration
gradients. Energy for this work is usually
supplied by ATP.
Diffusion. Hydrophobic molecules
and (at a slow rate) very small
uncharged polar molecules can diffuse
through the lipid bilayer.
Facilitated diffusion. Many hydrophilic
substances diffuse through membranes with
the assistance of transport proteins, either
channel or carrier proteins.

A microtubule is a hollow cylinder, about
24 nm in diameter.
Along the microtubule axis, tubulin
heterodimers join end-to-end to form
protofilaments, with alternating a & b
subunits.

yields a helical arrangement of tubulin
heterodimers in the cylinder wall.
An a, b-tubulin
heterodimer is the

Generally appear in animal cells
They look like two cylinders at right angles to one another
When viewed with an electron microscope, the cylinders show up as
nine bundles of tiny microtubules arranged in a circle
They help to form the fibers that move chromosomes around when the
cell is dividing
As animal cells prepare for cell division these two centrioles separate
and go to opposite ends of the cell.
Centrioles:

Cell inclusions
• Temporary non living components of the
cytoplasm
• Types:
1- stored metabolic products
- Carbohydrates ( glycogen particles)
- Lipids ( lipid droplets)
2- pigments (melanin, lipofuscin and
hemosiderin)
