Transport by Carriers and Endo/exocytosis

1. The document provides vocabulary definitions and multiple choice questions about cell transport mechanisms like active transport, endocytosis, vesicles, and phagocytosis. 2. Active transport uses energy from ATP to transport molecules against their concentration gradient from low to high concentration areas. Endocytosis is the process where material enters the cell through invagination of the cell membrane and formation of a vesicle. 3. The multiple choice questions test understanding of the sodium-potassium pump which uses ATP to actively transport sodium out and potassium into the cell, and processes like pinocytosis which transports fluids into the cell.

transport by carriers and


endo/exocytosis
VOCABULARY REVIEW Define/describe the following terms.
Transport of molecules against a concentration gradient (from regions of low concentration to
1. active transport ___________________________________________________________________________
regions of high concentration) with the aid of proteins in the cell membrane and energy from ATP.
________________________________________________________________________________________
Process by which material enter a cell without passing through the cell membrane. The membrane folds
2. endocytosis ______________________________________________________________________________
around the material outside the cell, resulting in the formation of a saclike vesicle that enters the cell.
________________________________________________________________________________________

Small, membrane-bounded, spherical organelle in the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell in which substances
3. vesicle __________________________________________________________________________________
are transported or stored.
________________________________________________________________________________________

Phagocytosis is the term describing the ingestion of micro-organisms, cells, and large foreign particles
4. phagocytosis _____________________________________________________________________________
through the process of endocytosis, resulting in a vesicle inside the cell containing the materials.

SHORT ANSWER Answer the following questions. You may use a diagram as part of your answer

1. Explain how a phagocyte (type of white blood 3. Describe how a cell produces and releases
cell) destroys bacterial by phagocytosis. proteins.
Phagocyte engulfs the bacterial cell through the process Protein is produced by Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
of endocytosis (phagocytosis). The bacterial cell is now (ribosomes) and is transported to the Golgi Apparatus.
inside a vesicle in the cytoplasm of the phagocyte. A Golgi Apparatus processes the protein and packages it
lysosome will join the vesicle an provide the necessary into a secretory vesicle by the process of endocytosis.
enzymes needed to digest and destroy the bacterial cell Secretory vesicle travels to the cell membrane where it
inside the vesicle. fuses with the cell membrane to open to the outside of
the cell by the process of exocytosis.

2. Why is the sodium-potassium transport 4. Why is it important that ions being transported
mechanism called a “pump”? across the cell membrane be shielded from
the interior of the lipid bilayer?
Sodium-potassium transport mechanism is considered a
pump because: Ions are polar (charged) and the cell membrane is non-
polar (not charged) due to the phospholipid tails. Since
(a) it uses ATP (energy) polar and non-polar substances do not interact, the Ions
(b) it pumps molecules against their respective must be given a polar path through the membrane. The
concentration gradients (low to high concentration) transport protein provides the polar environment
necessary for the Ions to travel across the cell
See picture on next page (below). membrane, and protects the ions from the non-polar
environment of the cell membrane..
