Gradients across cellular membranes are essential for energy storage and conversion • Key Concepts: • Membrane transport proteins are responsible for moving ions through the phsopholipid bilayer of cellular membranes. • Membrane transport proteins are organized into three groups: channels, carriers, and pumps. • All channels dissipate gradients, all pumps build gradients, and most carriers only dissipate gradients. Some carriers can build gradients as well, using indirect active transport.
Phospholipid bilayers are semi-permeable barriers Figure 10.01: Permeation of lipid bilayers by biologically important molecules.
Protein channels, carriers, and pumps regulate transport of small molecules across membranes • Protein channels dissipate gradients Figure 10.02: Different views of a Cl- transporter. Note how several transmembrane alpha helices combine to form the pore, including the selectivity filter.

Membrane Transporter Proteins: Classification Primary active transport: Transport depends on the energy from the hydrolysis of ATP Secondary active transport: Use of energy from a secondary diffusion gradient set up across the membrane using another ion. Because this secondary diffusion gradient initially established using an ion pump, as in primary active transport, the energy is ultimately derived from the same source-ATP hydrolysis.
Membrane Transporter Proteins: Classification Facilitated diffusion: Transport from higher concentration to lower concentration. It does not require the expenditure of metabolic energy
Channels • Selective transport water or ions down their concentration or electric potential gradients • Highly regulated • Energetically favorable reaction • A passageway across the membrane through which multiple water molecules or ions move simultaneously at a very rapid rate—up to 108 per second
Transporters: Uniporters • Transport is specific and saturable • Facilitated “low resistance” diffusion: • Down the concentration gradient • Reversible • Rate much higher than passive diffusion
Transporters:Secondary transporters • Couple the movement of one type of ion or molecule against its concentration gradient to the movement of a different ion or molecule down its concentration gradient • Mediate coupled reactions in which an energetically unfavorable reaction coupled to energetically favorable reaction
Transporters:Secondary transporters • Catalyze “uphill” movement of certain molecules often referred to as “active transporters”, but unlike pumps, do not hydrolyze ATP (or any other molecule) during transport
Pumps • P, F, and V classes transport ions only, whereas the ABC superfamily class transports small molecules as well as ions.
Pumps • Use the energy of ATP hydrolysis to move ions or small molecules across a membrane againsta chemical concentration gradient or electric potential. • Overall reaction—ATP hydrolysis and the “uphill” movement of ions or small molecules—is energetically favorable
Storage of light energy occurs in the chloroplast • Key Concepts (1): • Chloroplasts capture kinetic energy in photons of sunlight and convert it into an ion gradient and high energy electrons, which are stored on the electron carrier NADPH. • The machinery that converts sunlight into these energy forms is a cluster of proteins in the thylakoid membrane inside chloroplasts. Collectively, they are known as the thylakoid electron transport chain.
Storage of light energy occurs in the chloroplast • Key Concepts (2): • The ion gradient energy is converted into ATP by an enzyme called ATP synthase. • The energy in ATP and NADPH is used to convert atmospheric CO2 into carbon-containing macromolecule called glyceraldehydes 3-phosphate via set of chemical reactions called the Calvin cycle.
Chloroplasts convert sunlight into the first forms of cellular energy • Light reactions - energy transduction reactions • Dark reactions - carbon assimilation reactions
The energy transduction (light) reactions convert sunlight into stored potential energy
The carbon assimilation (dark) reactions convert stored potential energy into macromolecules Figure 10.14: The synthesis of glucose and sucrose from G3P in the cytosol. Figure 10.13: An overview of the Calvin cycle.

Cells use combination of channel, carrier, and pump proteins to transport small molecules across membranes • Key Concepts: • The majority of the macromolecules made by cells can serve as food energy for other cells. To access this energy, the chemical bonds holding these macromolecules must be broken. • In animals, macromolecules are broken into cellular building blocks (via digestion) in the extracellular space. • Cellular building blocks (e.g., glucose) are transported across the plasma membrane by an integrated system of channels, carriers, and pumps.

The first phase of glucose metabolism occurs in the cytosol • Key Concepts (1): • The steps taken to extract energy from glucose are very similar to the steps chloroplasts use to build glucose from G3P, only in reverse order. • The first 10 enzymatic steps in the digestion of glucose are called glycoslysis.
The first phase of glucose metabolism occurs in the cytosol • Key Concepts (2): • The products of glycolysis include the molecule pyruvate, which must be metabolized to keep glycolysis from stalling. • In the absence of molecular oxygen (O2), pyruvate is metabolized by a process called fermentation. Two different methods of fermentation have evolved in different organisms.
Glycolysis is subdivided into 3 stages • The 10 chemical reactions in glycolysis convert glucose into 2-three-carbon compounds (pyruvate), two NADH molecules, and two ATP molecules
In the absence of O2, pyruvate undergoes fermentation Figure 10.18: Three fates of pyruvate.
