9 of 37
what is endocytosis?
movement into a cell in vesicles
10 of 37
what is exocytosis?
movement out of a cell in vesicles that fuse with membrane and release their contents
11 of 37
what is active transport?
substances cross the membrane moving up the concentration gradient with the use of ATP
12 of 37
Pumps are
sodium, calcium and potassium ions use pumps to maintain their concentration gradient
13 of 37
transport vesicles =
substances moving with ATP

21 of 37
peroxisomes..
deactivate toxic materials eg alcohol
22 of 37
peroxisomes..
oxidise amino acids and fatty acids
23 of 37
a vesicle is
a small sac that imports materials from intracellular to extracellular
24 of 37
mitochondria are
folded membranes full of enzymes responsible for ATP synthesis and are sites for aerobic respiration
25 of 37
Rough ER
has ribosomes
26 of 37
smooth ER

27 of 37
rough ER
synthesises glycoproteins and phospholipids for use by other organelles
28 of 37
smooth ER
ynthesises fatty acids and steroids and releases calcium in muscle cells
