LAB SHT #2 - Cell Transport

The document summarizes different types of cell transport mechanisms: 1. Passive transport mechanisms like simple diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion allow movement of substances across membranes without using energy. 2. Active transport requires energy and includes antiport pumps, exocytosis, endocytosis, and symport pumps. Antiport pumps transport chemicals in opposite directions, exocytosis and endocytosis move materials out of and into cells, and symport pumps use concentration gradients to transport substances against gradients. 3. The document was submitted to a professor as part of a laboratory exercise on cell transport.

1. SIMPLE DIFFUSION membrane protein. Allows chemicals to travel without using energy through cell
membranes.

2. OSMOSIS The capacity of a fluid to pass through a membrane into a solution with a higher
solvent concentration, thus balancing the concentrations of components on either
side of the membrane.

3. FACILITATED DIFFUSION This is the process by which molecules or ions flow across a cell membrane with
the help of an integral protein.

ACTIVE TRANSPORT ACTIVE TRANSPORT

1. ANTIPORT PUMPS This is a transmembrane co-transporter protein. They convey one chemical in one
direction while pumping another in the other direction. These pumps are
particularly efficient because many of them can feed these two distinct functions
with a single ATP molecule.

This is the process through which chemicals are actively removed from the cell.
2. EXOCYTOSIS Golgi bodies or the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) vacuoles/vesicles merge with the
plasma membrane and discharge their contents to the outside. This is a frequent
procedure in cells that secrete.

This occurs when a cell actively absorbs something. During the procedure, the cell
3. ENDOCYTOSIS membrane folds around the material. It is not only a pair of membrane proteins
absorbing a couple of molecules, as in previous kinds of active transport.

To move material, these pumps use diffusion gradients. Diffusion gradients are
concentration differences that lead substances to spontaneously migrate from
4. SYMPORT PUMPS high to low concentration locations. A material that "wants" to go from a high
concentration location to a low concentration area down the concentration
gradient is employed to "carry" another substance against the concentration
gradient in the instance of a symport pump.
