FAQ
Two main types of bulk-flow transports are; transpiration and translocation. In general, translocation is a bidirectional transportation process whereas transpiration is a unidirectional mechanism.
Definition: Bulk transport is a mode of transport of large quantities of materials and food particles across the membrane. It occurs both inward and outward. It is achieved with the help of carrier molecules.
Like the active transport processes that move ions and small molecules via carrier proteins, bulk transport is an energy-requiring (and, in fact, energy-intensive) process. Here, we'll look at the different modes of bulk transport: phagocytosis, pinocytosis, receptor-mediated endocytosis, and exocytosis.
Endocytosis. Endocytosis is a type of active transport that moves particles, such as large molecules, parts of cells, and even whole cells, into a cell. There are different endocytosis variations, but all share a common characteristic: the cell's plasma membrane invaginates, forming a pocket around the target particle.
The term “endocytosis” was coined by Christian deDuve in 1963 to include both the ingestion of large particles (such as bacteria) and the uptake of fluids or macromolecules in small vesicles. The former of these activities is known as phagocytosis (cell eating) and the latter as pinocytosis (cell drinking).
Substances transported via endocytosis: Nutrients (proteins, lipids, carbohydrates) Signaling molecules (hormones, growth factors, cytokines) Pathogens (viruses, bacteria during phagocytosis) Plasma membrane components (receptors, lipids during membrane recycling)
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.
Here, we'll look at the different modes of bulk transport: phagocytosis, pinocytosis, receptor-mediated endocytosis, and exocytosis.
Phagocytosis, process by which certain living cells called phagocytes ingest or engulf other cells or particles.
