Document Summary

Active transport: driven by atp- requires a direct or indirect input of energy. Energy required to move substances against their concentration gradient. Can be used to make a gradient, as opposed to using the gradient to drive the transport. Depends on membrane transport proteins: specific substances are transported, can be saturated: as you add more and more substrate you need to saturate. Primary active transport: the same protein that transports the substance also hydrolyzes atp to power the transport directly (atp involved) Most positively charged ions across membranes: h+ pumps(proton pumps. Maintain low intracellular ca2+ concentration: na+/k+ pump. 3 na+ out and 2k+ in for every pump cylcle. Essential for active transport in all animal cells (but not plants or most microbes) 3na+ ions bind to the pump on the cytoplasmic side. Net effect of na+/k+ pump is to increase concentration of na+ outside the cell and k+ inside the cell.
