Active Transport

• Molecules move UP the concentration gradient

• Molecules move from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration

• Requires energy (ATP)

Active Transport• Thousands of proteins are

embedded in the cell's lipid bilayer.

• These proteins do much of the work in active transport.

• They are positioned to cross the membrane so one part is on the inside of the cell and one part is on the outside.

Active Transport

• Occurs a lot in neurons. • The membrane proteins

are constantly pumping ions in and out to get the membrane of the neuron ready to transmit electrical impulses.

DIFFUSION OSMOSIS ACTIVE TRANSPORT

Energy requirements

ATP not required ATP not required ATP required

Distance of travel

Solutes and gases- long distances

Solvent (water)- short distances Short distances

Speed of process

Rapid in gases, slow in solution

Slow process Rapid process

Definition

Transport of gases or dissolved substances (solutes) in solution from a region of high concentration to a region of lower concentration of the transported substance.

Transport of a solvent (water) through a semipermeable membrane from a solution of low solute concentration to a solution of higher solute concentration.

Transport of a substance from lower to higher concentration of that substance, using energy from the cell, through a living cell membrane.

Examples

Uptake of oxygen by a cell performing aerobic respiration. Oxygen continues to diffuse into the cell as O2 is removed by

respiration.

The movement of water into cells of a marine (salt water adapted) animal placed in fresh water. May eventually cause cells to swell and burst.

Transport of glucose against its concentration gradient from the gut lumen into the cells lining the intestine.
