    Study Notes

    Types of Transport

    • Passive transport does not require energy input.
    • Facilitated diffusion is faster than passive diffusion and involves the use of transport proteins.
    • Active transport requires energy input to move nutrients against a concentration gradient.
    • Passive transport is used to transport nutrients that are moving with a concentration gradient.

    Mechanisms of Transport

    • Uniport involves the transport of a single molecule across a membrane in one direction.
    • Symport involves the transport of two or more molecules across a membrane in the same direction.
    • Antiport involves the transport of two or more molecules across a membrane in opposite directions.
    • Group translocation is the transport of a group of molecules across a membrane in one step.

    Iron Uptake in Plants

    • Chelation is the mechanism that helps to dissolve iron from the soil to increase iron uptake in plants.
    • Iron transporters are plant mechanisms that can transport iron across the plasma membrane of root cells.
    • Ferric reductase is a plant mechanism that can reduce ferric iron (Fe3+) to ferrous iron (Fe2+), aiding in iron uptake.

    Mechanisms of Nutrient Uptake

    • Active transport is an energy-dependent process that is more efficient than individual transport mechanisms.
    • Carrier-mediated transport requires energy input from the microorganism.
    • Active transport is used to transport nutrients that are at a lower concentration in the environment than they are inside the microorganism.
    • Facilitated diffusion is a mechanism that involves the use of transport proteins to help nutrients move across the cell membrane.
    • Active transport is faster than diffusion and can transport nutrients at a higher concentration inside the microorganism than outside the cell.

    • Passive diffusion involves nutrients moving from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration until equilibrium is reached.
    • Active transport is used to transport nutrients at a higher concentration inside the microorganism than outside the cell.
    • Active transport moves nutrients against a concentration gradient and requires energy input from the microorganism.
