  • Bulk Transport
    • Exocytosis
      • 1) vesicles from rough ER form Golgi, vesicles from Golgi
      • 2) Vesicles fuse with plasma membrane and secretes contents
      • Bulk transport of materials out of the cell
      • Reverse of endocytosis
    • Endocytosis
      • 1) material causes plasma membrane to invaginate
      • 2) enfold and eventually fuses forming a vesicle
      • 3) lysosomes fuse with the vesicle and digest content
      • Phagocytosis- solid material. Pinocytosis- liquid
      • Substances eg hormones need to be released from the cell
    • Type of active transport
      • requires metabolic energy in the form of ATP
    • For molecules that are too large to go through channel and carrier proteins
