Passive Transport 1. Always down a concentration gradient 2. Always involves s called A. Channels B. Carriers C. Pores porins II. Active Transport 1. Always up a concentration gradient 2. Small molecules transported through A. Protein Pumps 3. Large molecules transported by vesicles A. Endocytosis B. Exocytosis Fig. 6.12 (TEArt) Diffusion Solute dissolves in a solvent. Lump of Solutes sugar move from a high to a low concentration. Sugar molecule 3

Example: Active Transport Sodium-Potassium Pump Extracellular Na + P ATP PPA Intracellular 1. Protein in membrane binds intracellular sodium. K + P PPA ATP 2. ATP phosphorylates with bound sodium. P P PA ADP 3. Phosphorylation causes conformational change in, allowing sodium to leave. Fig. 6.19 (TEArt) Active Transport - Cotransport Outside cell Na/K pump Na + Coupled transport Sugar P P PA ADP 4. Extracellular potassium binds to exposed sites. Animation P P PA ADP+P i 5. Binding of potassium causes dephosphorylation of. P PPA ATP 6. Dephosphorylation of triggers change back to original conformation, potassium moves into cell, and the cycle repeats.
