Active Processes
• ATP is necessary to transport substances that are:– Too large– Non-soluble– Unable to move across its concentration gradient
• Active Transport– Primary & Secondary Active Transport
• Vesicular Transport– Endocytosis & Exocytosis
![Page 2: Chapter3b](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555d048fd8b42a08668b5774/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Primary Active Transport
•The energy to do work comes directly from the hydrolysis of ATP
•Example: Sodium-Potassium Pump
![Page 3: Chapter3b](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555d048fd8b42a08668b5774/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The Na+ - K+ Pump
• Na+-K+ ATPase maintains ↑ [K+] inside cells & ↑ [Na+] outside cells
• Binds 3 Na+ : 2 K+
• Creates cell membrane’s electrochemical gradient
• Crucial to cardiac & skeletal muscle, and nervous functions
• See video

Resting Membrane Potential
• Selective permeability allows for the generation of a membrane potential (voltage)
• At rest, the cell membrane has a (-) membrane potential
• Important to excitable tissue like nervous tissue

Secondary Active Transport
• Indirectly driven by primary active transport through the creation of ionic gradients
• Molecules or ions move from regions of lower concentration to regions of higher concentration
![Page 6: Chapter3b](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555d048fd8b42a08668b5774/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Vesicular Transport
• Large particles, macromolecules, and larger volumes of fluids do not fit through channels of protein pumps and must be transported in and out of the cell through vesicles
• Exocytosis: Out of the cell
• Endocytosis: Into the cell
![Page 7: Chapter3b](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555d048fd8b42a08668b5774/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Exocytosis
• Secretions within vesicles dock at the membrane and are released as the cell & vesicular membranes fuse
• Used during hormone secretion, neurotransmitter release, mucus secretion & waste elimination
![Page 8: Chapter3b](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555d048fd8b42a08668b5774/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Endocytosis: Clathrin-mediated
• The main process used for endocytosis
• Clathrin-mediated transport is used during phagocytosis, pinocytosis, and receptor-mediated endocytosis
• Clathrin is a lattice-like protein that cages in cargo for transport into the cell
![Page 9: Chapter3b](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555d048fd8b42a08668b5774/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Endocytosis: Phagocytosis
• Primarily used by defense cells like WBCs and macrophages
• Large, solid substances such as bacteria and dead cells are engulfed and subsequently destroyed
![Page 10: Chapter3b](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555d048fd8b42a08668b5774/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Endocytosis: Pinocytosis
• Droplets of extracellular fluid containing dissolved particles are folded into the plasma membrane
• Nutrients dissolved in extracellular fluid are taken into the cell
• Particularly important in the lining of the small intestine
![Page 11: Chapter3b](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555d048fd8b42a08668b5774/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Endocytosis: Receptor-mediated
• Selective mechanism for bringing specific macromolecules into the cell
• Receptors bind with their specific ligands (enzymes, insulin, hormones) and are endocytosed
![Page 12: Chapter3b](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555d048fd8b42a08668b5774/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Cytoplasm
• Gel-like material, consistency of room temperature butter
• Contains the cytosol (viscous, clear liquid), organelles (“cell machinery”), the cytoskeleton (scaffolding & motor units), and inclusion bodies (stored nutrients, pigmentation)
• Most cellular activities take place in the cytoplasm
![Page 13: Chapter3b](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555d048fd8b42a08668b5774/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Mitochondria
• Organelle whose inner membrane is folded into shelf-like partitions called “cristae”
• Abundance depends on cell type
• Function: "Power plants of the cell”
![Page 14: Chapter3b](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555d048fd8b42a08668b5774/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Ribosomes
• Small granules dispersed throughout the cytoplasm and on the membranes of Rough ER, composed of ribosomal RNA and protein
• Function: protein synthesis
![Page 15: Chapter3b](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555d048fd8b42a08668b5774/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Endoplasmic Reticulum
• Network of interconnected parallel membranes that is continuous with the nuclear membrane
• Rough ER: Studded with ribosomes
• Smooth ER: No ribosomes
![Page 16: Chapter3b](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555d048fd8b42a08668b5774/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
RER & Protein Synthesis
• Newly synthesized proteins are taken into the RER cisternae where they undergo modification before they are transported where needed
• RER is also a “membrane factory”. External face is site for phospholipid synthesis
![Page 17: Chapter3b](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555d048fd8b42a08668b5774/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum• Contains enzymes that
catalyze the synthesis of lipids and steroids
• Plays a role in lipid metabolism and drug detoxification
• Catalyzes the decomposition of glycogen to release glucose
• In muscle, stores Ca+2

Golgi Apparatus
• Flattened membranous sacs ("cisternae") arranged in stacks associated with many vesicles
• Function: modification, packaging, and transport of proteins, the cell’s “traffic director”
![Page 19: Chapter3b](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555d048fd8b42a08668b5774/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Lysosomes
• Spherical membranous sacs containing digestive enzymes (acid hydrolase)
• Lysosome Function: “demolition crew of the cell“

Peroxisomes
• Membrane sacs that look like lysosomes abundant in liver and kidney cells containing oxidases
• Oxidases detoxify harmful substances & neutralize free radicals by converting them into hydrogen peroxide and water
