The cell membrane
• Function:
• Regulates what enters and leaves the cell. Provides protection and support
• Selective permeability• Some substances can pass across the cell
membrane and others can’t
Components of the lipid bilayer
• Polar Head– Hydrophilic
“Water Loving”
• Lipid Tails– Hydrophobic
“Water Fearing”
Other membrane structures
• Protein molecules–Form channels and pumps that help
to move material across the membrane
Other Membrane Structures
• Carbohydrate molecules–Act like ID markers for the cell
–Basis for blood typing: the antigens on the blood cells (A, B, AB) are carbohydrate chains
Diffusion
Definition: The movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, until equilibrium is reached.
Concentration?
Mass of Solute/Volume of solution (g/L)
Diffusion of Molecules
Diffusion in CellsMolecules are able to diffuse through the
cell membrane and allow the cell to function.
Facilitated Diffusion – some molecules need help from protein channels to cross the cell membrane.
Animation
Osmosis (A special kind of diffusion)
Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane.
Selectively Permeable - Osmosis
OsmosisIsotonic – concentration of solute is the same on
both sides of the membrane (equilibrium)
Hypertonic – the solution with a greater concentration of solute
Hypotonic – the solution with the lesser concentration of solute
Passive TransportMoving down a concentration gradient is
like riding a bike down a hill. It doesn’t require energy
Osmosis and diffusion are examples of passive transport!
ACTIVE TRANSPORTMoving up a concentration gradient is like
riding up a hill. IT REQUIRES ENERGY.
Active Transport• Active Transport: is the movement of
materials through a cell membrane using energy.
• Molecules move from low concentration to high concentration.
• Proteins use ATP to pump ions and small molecules against concentration gradient.
Types of Active Transport
1. Endocytosis – the process of taking material into the cell by means of infoldings of the cell membrane.
– Phagocytosis – extension of the cytoplasm surround and engulf the particle
– Pinocytosis – similar to phagocytosis, but cells take up liquid instead of particles.
Types of Active Transport
2. Exocytosis– Large molecules move from inside the cell to
outside the cell.– Contractile Vacoule – an organelle that
constantly pumps H2O out of the cell.
