Nutrient Uptake—Active Transport

Phosphotransferase System (PTS)
 Uses ATP
energy to pass
material into cell
 Modifies material as it
enters cell

Gradient is maintained,
pushing material into cell
glucose enters cell and is phosphorylated. As
a result, gradient of pushes more glucose
inside.
(glucose-6-phosphate) cannot pass out of cell.
