The Cell Membrane & Transport

1. The Cell Membrane & Transport

4. The Cell Membrane • Functions: • Structural support & protection • Helps maintain HOMEOSTASIS • Selective barrier –SEMIPERMEABLE • Water, food, oxygen, waste and nutrients are transported through the cell membrane.

5. Structure • LipidBilayer= Double layer of phospholipids • Each Phospholipid has: • 2 non-polar tails: Hydrophobic (Repels water, Water FEARING) • 1 polar head: Hydrophilic (Attracted to water, Water LOVING) • Proteins, carbohydrates, and cholesterol are also in the membrane

6. Homeostasis • The maintenance of stable internal conditions within the cell or organism. • The body’s ability to maintain equilibrium BALANCE • Conditions within and around organisms are constantly changing (temperature, water, oxygen), so our cells need a way to adjust to the changing conditions.

7. Semipermeable • Some substances can pass across it and others can not • Also called “Selectively Permeable” • Large molecules such as proteins and sugars don’t pass freely and must be transported into the cell

8. Passive Transport Allows some particles to move in or out of cell without the use of energy. • Using Diffusion

Molecules will move with the gradientfrom a high concentration to a lower concentration . “Rolling down a hill doesn’t require energy”

10. Solutions • Solute is the material that is being dissolved (sugar) • Solvent is doing the dissolving (water)

11. Types of Diffusion Simple—unassisted diffusion of small particles or lipid-soluble molecules Osmosis—unassisted diffusion of water Facilitated diffusion—diffusion with the help of carrier proteins

12. Osmosis: • diffusion of water from an area of high to low water concentration • Occurs continuously (all the time) in the cell • No energy required

13. HYPERTONIC solution: 1. Solute concentration outside the cell is higher (less water)2. Water diffuses out of the cell 3. Cell will shrink Plant cell-cell membrane pulls away from the cell wall (wilts) • HYPOTONIC solution: 1. Solute concentration greater inside the cell (less water)2. Water moves into the cell3. Cell will swell & burst (Lysis) Plant cell-pressure on cell wall increases- (Turgor) • ISOTONIC solution: • Concentration of solutes is the same inside & outside the cell

15. Facilitated Diffusion • transport proteins embedded in cell membrane “carries” the substance across the membrane. • Substances like glucose, amino acids, and ions use these • No energy required http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0072495855/student_view0/chapter2/animation__how_facilitated_diffusion_works.html

16. Cell in Isotonic Solution 10% NaCL90% H2O ENVIRONMENT CELL NO NET MOVEMENT 10% NaCL 90% H2O What is the direction of water movement? Equilibrium The cell is at __________.

17. Cell in Hypotonic Solution 10% NaCL90% H2O CELL 20% NaCL 80% H2O (More H20 outside of cell than inside) What is the direction of water movement?

18. Cell in Hypertonic Solution 15% NaCl85% H2O ENVIRONMENT CELL 5% NaCl 95% H2O (More H20 inside than outside) What is the direction of water movement?

19. Active Transport • Movement of substances from a lower concentration to a higher concentration • Energy is needed • ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the source of the energy. • Transport goes AGAINST concentration gradient (going up a hill requires energy) • Carrier Proteins (Transport Proteins) • Endocytosis • Exocytosis

20. Carrier Proteins (Transport Proteins) • Use ATP to pump molecules into or out of the cell • Low concentration to high concentration

21. Endocytosis • Cell membrane folds inward surrounding the material to transport it INTO the cell • Once inside the cell it’s transported to a lysosome

22. Two Types of Endocytosis Phagocytosis Pinocytosis “Cell Drinking” Engulfs extracellular fluid, including sugar and proteins • “Cell Eating” • Engulfs large materials like bacteria

23. Exocytosis • Materials, like waste, are surrounded by a vesicle and transported to the cell membrane • Vesicle fuses with the cell membrane and releases its contents OUTSIDE the cell
