Some carriers transport substances against their electrical and chemical gradients. This form of transport requires energy and is called active transport. In animal cells, the energy is provided almost exclusively by hydrolysis of ATP. One of these ATPases is sodium–potassium adenosine triphosphatase (Na, K ATPase), which is also known as the Na, K pump.

| B |
2 : 3 |

Calcium Metabolism in mammalian cells
• Concentration of intracellular Ca2+ is 100 nmol/ L and it is about 12000 times less than that in extracellular fluid.Q
• Ca2+ is stored in endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria & can be released from them to replenish cytoplasmic Ca2+
• Calcium binding proteins bind cytoplasmic Ca2+ and when activated in this fashion, bring about a variety of physiological
effect.
• Ca2+ enter cell via
– Voltage gated Ca2+ channels
– Ligand gated Ca2+ channels (T & L types)
– Store operated Ca2+ channels (SOCCs)
• It is transport out of cell by (Active transport)Q
(i) Ca2+ IP ATPase antiportQ: cause 21-1+ inside & Ca2+ outside() of membrane at the cost of hydrolysis of ATP.
(ii) Na+ Ca2+ antiportQ : It is a counter transport causes 3 Na+ inside & 2Ca2+ outsideQ of membrane.
• Calmodulin is Ca2+ binding protein involved in contraction of smooth muscle.
• Passive transport : when molecules traverse membrane by electro mechanical gradient (Passively)
• Uniport : Form of transport where only one substance is transported.
• Symport: Here binding of more than one substance to transport protein & substances are transported across the membrane together.
• Antiport: The transport exchange one substance for another
