Document Summary

Substances move against [ ] gradient (low to high. * can e both active and passive transport. Molecular pumps - atp breakdown is directly part of transport process. 3 na+ out of cell and 2 k+ in per atp (fig. Cotransport (use of atp is indirect) eg. glucose entry at small intestine - 2 steps: 1) na+ gradient established by na+/k+ -atpase (atp use step) (fig. 2) glucose & na+ both must bind to carrier proteins and are cotransported into the cell => na+ moving down its [ ] gradient drives against its [ ] gradient (transport step) b) vesicular transport. Vesicles containing hormones, enzymes, neurotransmitters (nt), etc. (fig 3. 14) Fuse w/ cell membrane releasing contents into ecf (triggered by a rise in cytosolic ca++) *when stimulated (usually on cell body or dendrites) an elec. impulse may be generated and propagated along the axon = nerve impulse.
