    Study Notes

    Primary Active Transport

    • The main requirement for primary active transport to occur is the direct use of energy, typically in the form of ATP.
    • Primary active transport is defined as the movement of molecules across a cell membrane from a low concentration to a high concentration, using energy from ATP.

    Examples and Cellular Locations

    • An example of primary active transport is the Sodium-Potassium pump.
    • The H+ pump is present in epithelial cells, which line the surfaces of tissues and organs.
    • The calcium pump is present in muscle fibers, where it regulates muscle contraction and relaxation by controlling calcium ion concentrations.

    Functions of Pumps

    • The function of the calcium pump in muscle fibers is to pump calcium ions out of the cytosol and back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum, allowing the muscle to relax.
