Document Summary

Transport: in many systems there is a difference concentration of a particular ion inside compared with the outside. In these cases the imbalance is maintained by a protein in the plasma membrane that moves the substance against its concentration gradient. Uniporter- moves a single substance in one direction. Ex: ca binding protein in plasma membrane transports ca2+ to locations where it is more highly concentrated either outside or inside of the cell,. Symporter- moves two substances in the same direction. Ex: symporter in cells that line intestine must bind na+ in addition to an amino acid in order to absorb. Antiporter- moves two substances in opposite direction one into the cell and one out of the cell. Instead its energy is supplied by an ion concertation gradient established by atp driven active transport. Secondary active transport uses the energy of atp indirectly in the form of a gradient.
