Study Notes
Sodium-Potassium Transporter Pump
- Operates against concentration gradient, moving sodium ions outside and potassium ions inside the cell.
- Active transport mechanism requires energy input.
Transport of Glucose, Amino Acids, and Fatty Acids
- Utilize facilitated diffusion through protein carriers.
- Move from high to low concentration, does not require energy.
Proteins and Vesicular Transport
- Large proteins synthesized by the cell are exported through active transport.
- Transport occurs via secretory vesicles in a process called exocytosis.
Cell Membrane Transport Mechanisms
- Pinocytosis: Active transport mechanism for fluid droplets entering the cell.
- Phagocytosis: Active mechanism for solid particles entering the cell.
Passive Transport Mechanisms
- Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide Molecules: Move via simple diffusion, from high to low concentration.
- Water Molecules: Move through osmosis, primarily via aquaporins, from high to low concentration.
- Sodium Ions: Passively move through Na+ ion channels from high to low concentration.
Active Transport for Ions
- Sodium ions moving inside to outside the cell utilizes the sodium-potassium transporter pump (active).
- Potassium ions can passively exit through K+ ion channels (high to low concentration) or actively enter the cell from outside.
Genetic Material in the Cell
- Each chromosome consists of thousands of genes, which are segments containing information for protein synthesis.
- The nucleolus is responsible for producing ribosomes, important for protein production and cell function.
Summary of Ion Movement
- Sodium and potassium ions have distinct transport mechanisms: passive (facilitated diffusion) and active (sodium-potassium transporter).
- Concentration gradients dictate the movement of various molecules across the cell membrane.
