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.
