Document Summary

Molecules that are the size of monomers (i. e. amino acids, monosaccharides) are the largest molecules that are transported through the cellular membrane. Eukaryotes use exocytosis and endocytosis to import/export large molecules: 5. 6a secondary active transport moves both ions and organic molecules. During the process of exocytosis, secretory vesicles move through the cytoplasm and come in contact with the plasma membrane. The vesicle and plasma membrane fuse, which releases the vesicle"s contents into the cell exterior: 5. 6b endocytosis brings materials into cells in endocytic vesicles. During the process of endocytosis, proteins & other substances are trapped in pit like depressions that bulge inward from the plasma membrane. The depression pinches off as an endocytic vesicle. Pinocytosis mechanism by which extracellular water is taken into a cell together w/ any molecules that happen to be in solution in the water. Receptor-mediated endocytosis the selective uptake of macromolecules that bind to cell surface receptors concentrated in clathrin-coated pits.
