Endocytosis and Exocytosis: Differences and Similarities

Endocytosis and Exocytosis: Differences and Similarities

Endocytosis and exocytosis are the processes by which cells move materials into or out of the cell that are too large to directly pass through the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane. Large molecules, microorganisms and waste products are some of the substances moved through the cell membrane via exocytosis and endocytosis.

Why is bulk transport important for cells?

Cell membranes are semi-permeable, meaning they allow certain small molecules and ions to passively diffuse through them. Other small molecules are able to make their way into or out of the cell through carrier proteins or channels.

But there are materials that are too large to pass through the cell membrane using these methods. There are times when a cell will need to engulf a bacterium or release a hormone. It is during these instances that bulk transport mechanisms are needed.

Endocytosis and exocytosis are the bulk transport mechanisms used in eukaryotes. As these transport processes require energy, they are known as active transport processes.

Vesicle function in endocytosis and exocytosis

During bulk transport, larger substances or large packages of small molecules are transported through the cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane, by way of vesicles – think of vesicles as little membrane sacs that can fuse with the cell membrane.

Cell membranes are comprised of a lipid bilayer. The walls of vesicles are also made up of a lipid bilayer, which is why they are capable of fusing with the cell membrane. This fusion between vesicles and the plasma membrane facilitates bulk transport both into and out of the cell.

What is endocytosis? Endocytosis definition and purposes

Endocytosis is the process by which cells take in substances from outside of the cell by engulfing them in a vesicle. These can include things like nutrients to support the cell or pathogens that immune cells engulf and destroy.

Endocytosis occurs when a portion of the cell membrane folds in on itself, encircling extracellular fluid and various molecules or microorganisms. The resulting vesicle breaks off and is transported within the cell.

Select the correct image.
masya89 [10]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

In all the other options either Carbon has more than 4 atoms attached or less than 4.

Carbon can not form more than four bonds. It can only share 4 electrons .

In other option C, No H-atom is linked in the right most Carbon.

whereas according to the definition of Hydrocarbon it should have been a Hydrogen atom.

An analytical chemist is titrating 118.3 mL of a 0.3500 M solution of butanoic acid (HC3H7CO2) with a 0.400 M solution of KOH. T
TEA [102]

Answer:

pH = 12.33

Explanation:

Lets call HA = butanoic acid and A⁻ butanoic acid and its conjugate base butanoate respectively.

The titration reaction is

HA + KOH ---------------------------- A⁻ + H₂O + K⁺

number of moles of HA :   118.3 ml/1000ml/L x 0.3500 mol/L = 0.041 mol HA

number of  moles of OH  : 115.4 mL/1000ml/L x 0.400 mol/L  = 0.046 mol A⁻

therefore the weak acid will be completely consumed and what we have is  the unreacted strong base KOH which will drive the pH of the solution since the contribution of the conjugate base is negligible.

n unreacted KOH = 0.046 - 0.041 = 0.005 mol KOH

pOH = - log (KOH)

M KOH = 0.005 mol / (0.118.3 +0.1154)L = 0.0021 M

pOH = - log (0.0021) = 1.66

pH = 14 - 1.96 = 12.33

Note: It is a mistake to ask for the pH of the <u>acid solutio</u>n since as the above calculation shows we have a basic solution the moment all the acid has been consumed.
