Study Notes
Active Transport
- Requires energy to move molecules across a cell membrane, against their concentration gradient.
- Primary active transport utilizes ATP directly to move molecules against their concentration gradient.
- Secondary active transport uses the energy stored in the concentration gradient of one molecule to move another molecule against its concentration gradient.
Passive Transport
- Does not require energy to move molecules across a cell membrane.
- Molecules move down their concentration gradient, from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
Heart
- Four chambers in humans, other mammals, and birds.
- Enclosed by a protective sac called the pericardium.
- Main function is to pump blood throughout the circulatory system.
- Valves prevent backflow of blood.
- Located in the chest cavity, slightly to the left of the center.
Other Processes
- Active transport plays a crucial role in maintaining cell function, including nutrient uptake and waste removal.
