Study Notes
Passive Transport
- Does not require energy
- Moves substances down a concentration gradient
Active Transport
- Moves substances against a concentration gradient
- Requires energy
Primary Active Transport
- Uses ATP to change a carrier's shape, moving a substance against its concentration gradient
Secondary Active Transport
- Uses the energy from facilitated transport of one substance to move another
- A single carrier protein can transport multiple substances simultaneously
- One substance moves down its gradient, while the other can move with or against its gradient
Membrane Ion Gradients
- High concentrations of sodium, calcium, and chloride ions are found outside the cell.
- High concentrations of potassium ions are found inside the cell.
Cell Membrane Components
- CCREAM: Channels, Carriers, Receptors, Enzymes, Adhesion proteins, Markers
Protein Classification by Shape
- Globular: Spherical shape
- Filamentous: Long, thread-like shape
Protein Classification by Function (TRICCS)
- Transport: Move substances across membranes
- Regulatory: Control cellular processes
- Immunological: Mediate immune responses
- Contractile: Generate movement
- Catalytic: Act as enzymes
- Structural: Provide support and shape
Membrane Protein Location
- Integral: Embedded within the membrane
- Peripheral: Associated with the membrane's surface
Membrane Protein Functions (CCREAM)
- Carriers: Transport substances across the membrane
- Channels: Allow specific substances to pass through
- Receptors: Bind to signaling molecules
- Enzymes: Catalyze reactions
- Adhesion proteins: Attach cells to each other or to the extracellular matrix
- Markers: Identify cells
Vesicular Transport / Bulk Transport
- Endocytosis: Movement of large substances into the cell
- Exocytosis: Movement of large substances out of the cell
