ACTIVE TRANSPORI ENDOCYTOSIS, AND EXOCYTOSIS
Guide
CONCEPT
Cells use energy to transport materials that cannot diffuse across a membrane.
active transport endocytosis ph a gocytosis exocytosis
Proteins can transport materials against a concentration gradient.
How is active transport different than simple difñ;sion and facilitated diffusion?
Active transport is the movement of molecules against a concentration gradient, whereas any type of d rs the movement ol molecu les oown a concentratton gradtent.
How is active transport similar to facilitated diffusion?
Both involve the movement of molecules through selective membrane proteins
List two characteristics that almost all transport proteins share
All transoort oroteins soan the membrane, and most chanqe shape when they bind to a tarqet molecule or molecules.
List the key distinguishing feature of active transport proteins.
Active transport proteins use chemical energy to move a substance âqainst its concentration gradient.
Refer to Figure 3.25 to draw a picture in the box below to represent active transport.

Endocytosis and exocytosis
materials across the membrane
vesicles.
cell may transport a substance in vesicles
the substance is too large to cross the membrane.
During endocytosis, the vesicle membrane fuses with a lysosome, and the membrane and its contents are broken down by lysosomal enzymes
Complete the
diagram below to compare and contrast the processes of endocytosis and exocytosis. Under the heading "endocytosis," list the characteristics of endocytosis. Under the heading "exoc¡rtosis," list the characteristics of exoc¡osis. At the bottom of the I write the characteristics that both processes have in common. Then lightly cross out those characteristics at the top of the Y.
uses energy, takes substances into a cell, moves substances in vesicles
uses energy, releases substances outside a cell, moves substances in vesicles
B oth use energy, move substances in vesicles
Vocabulary
What term means "cell eating" and describes a type of endocytosis?
Phagocystosis
1O. The prefix exo- means "out of," and the prefix endo- means "taking in." How do these meanings relate to the meaning of exocytosis and endocytosis?
Exocytosis is a process that releases substances outside a cell.
Endocytosis is a process that takes substances into a cell.
11. What process drives molecules across a membrane against a concentration gradient?
Active transport.
