The Cell MembraneWhat do you notice about the picture below?
What parts can you name?
Do you know their functions?
Functions of Cell Membrane
1. Control what enters and exits the cell
2. Help cell keep its shape
3. Communicate with other cells
Selectively Permeable? WHY?• The structure of the membrane makes it
determine what substances can enter and not enter!
• Controls traffic in & out of the cell– Selectively permeable - allows some substances
to cross more easily than others.– WHY? Hydrophobic tails vs hydrophilic heads
What has to get in and out of the cell?
• Oxygen CO2
• Glucose Waste
• Amino acid new proteins
• Vitamins
• water
Phospholipids
Fatty acid
Phosphate
1. Fatty acid tails– hydrophobic
2. Phosphate group
3. Glycerol– Hydrophilic
Aaaah, one of those
structure–functionexamples
Why are the phosolipids arrange this way?
• Heads - hydrophilic face outward
• Tails - Hydrophobic face inward
• Water surrounds the cell and is inside the cell. Hydrophilic must face outward.
• Arranged as a bilayer
The Arrangement of the Phosolipids determine how particles pass through
the cell membrane?• If a particle is small and not charged then
it can move straight through the membrane.
• If the particle is large and charged, then it has to move through the cell proteins.
• Aquaporins - protein channel that water moves through.
5 Functions of Proteins 1. Pumps material through the membrane 2. Channels3. Proteins on the inside of cell. Attach to cytoskeleton. Help with structure!!4. Receptors – Carbohydrates are attached to proteins!5. Enzymes!
Membrane carbohydrates • Play a key role in cell-cell recognition
– ability of a cell to distinguish one cell from another
• antigens
– important in organ & tissue development
– basis for rejection of foreign cells by immune system
Function of Cholesterol• Strengthen cell membrane – phosolipids
are not bonded so membrane is not strong!
QuickTime™ and aTIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
Fluid Mosaic ModelDescribes the characteristics of the cell
membrane
1. Cell membrane is flexible not rigid. Acts as a fluid. The double bonds between the tails keep them from attaching because of kinks.
2. Cell membrane is constructed for many different parts.
Selective Permeability
• Cell membrane allows some materials in and others not.
• Homeostasis: Cell maintenance of stable internal conditions in a changing environment.
• How a molecules moves across a membrane depends on the size, polarity, and concentration of the molecules.
• Do you Agree that Molecules Must Move Across Membrane?
• VIDEO – molecules moving
• This is called Brownian Movement
Molecules are constantly moving!!• You must understand that molecules are
constantly moving.
• The more energy added the faster they move.
• Move from an area of a higher concentration to an area of lower concentration across the membrane.
3 Ways Particles Move Across Membrane!!
1. Small and non charged particles can just move through the membrane.
2. Small polar molecules move through the protein channels.
3. Large particles move in vesicles or pumps.
Types of Cellular Transport
• Passive Transport
cell doesn’t use energy1. Diffusion
2. Facilitated Diffusion
3. Osmosis
• Active Transport

2. Endocytosis
3. Exocytosishigh

•Animations of Active Transport & Passive
Transport
Passive Transport
• The energy behind this type of transport is caused by a CONCENTRATION GRADIENT!!!
Concentration Gradient• The difference in the concentration of
molecules in two different regions.
• Can be a room or a cell!!!!
• Equilibrium: molecules will continue to move until equal on both sides.
Passive Transport – movement of molecules across cell membrane without energy.1. cell uses no energy 2. molecules move randomly3. Molecules spread out from an area of
high concentration to an area of low concentration.
• (HighLow)• CAN BE THROUGH A
CHANNEL!!!
3 Types of Passive Transport
1. Diffusion
2. Facilitative Diffusion – diffusion with the help of transport proteins
3. Osmosis – diffusion of water through aquaporin.
Passive Transport: 1. Diffusion
1. Diffusion: random movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
(High to Low)
• Diffusion continues until all molecules are evenly spaced (equilibrium is reached)-Note: molecules will still move around but stay spread out.

Simple Diffusion Animation
Diffusion• Move from HIGH to LOW concentration
– “passive transport”– no energy needed– Small and non charged– Straight through membrane

• What molecules can NOT get through directly?
– polar molecules• H2O
– ions• salts, ammonia
– large molecules• starches, proteins
• 2.Osmosis: facilitated diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane
• Water moves from high to low concentrations
• AQUAPORIN
•Water moves freely through pores.
•Solute (green) to large to move across.
Osmosis animation
Passive Transport: 2. Osmosis
Effects of Osmosis on Life
• Osmosis- diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane
• Water is so small and there is so much of it the cell can’t control it’s movement through the cell membrane.
Aquaporins
• Water moves rapidly into & out of cells– evidence that there were water channels

Concentration of water• Direction of water movement is determined by
the amount of solution in or out of the cell because water is not all that the cell contains.
3 Types of Solutions For a Cell
1. Hypertonic - more solute, less water. More
water inside cell; it leaves
2. Hypotonic - less solute, more water. More
water outside cell; water enters
3. Isotonic - equal solute, equal water
Equal – net movement equal!
Hypotonic Solution
Hypotonic: The solution has a lower concentration of solutes and a higher concentration of water than inside the cell. (Low solute; High water)
Result: Water moves from the solution to inside the cell): Cell Swells and bursts open (cytolysis)!
• Osmosis Animations for
isotonic, hypertonic, and hypotonic
solutions
Managing water balance• Hypotonic
– a cell in fresh water
• example: Paramecium
• problem: gains water, swells & can burst– water continually enters
Paramecium cell
• solution: contractile vacuole – pumps water out of cell– ATP
– plant cells• turgid
freshwater

freshwater balanced saltwater
Managing water balance• Cell survival depends on balancing water
uptake & loss
Hypertonic Solution
Hypertonic: The solution has a higher concentration of solutes and a lower concentration of water than inside the cell. (High solute; Low water)
Result: Water moves from inside the cell into the solution: Cell shrinks (Plasmolysis)!
• Osmosis Animations for
isotonic, hypertonic, and hypotonic
solutions
shrinks
Managing water balance• Hypertonic
– a cell in salt water• example: shellfish• problem: lose water & die• solution: take up water or pump
out salt
– plant cells• plasmolysis = wilt
saltwater
Isotonic SolutionIsotonic: The concentration of solutes in the solution is equal to the concentration of solutes inside the cell.
Result: Water moves equally in both directions and the cell remains same size! (Dynamic Equilibrium)
• Osmosis Animations for
isotonic, hypertonic, and hypotonic
solutions
Managing water balance• Isotonic
– animal cell immersed in mild salt solution• example:
blood cells in blood plasma• problem: none
– no net movement of water» flows across membrane equally,
in both directions
– volume of cell is stable
balanced
How Organisms Deal with Osmotic Pressure
• Paramecium (protist) removing excess water video
•Bacteria and plants have cell walls that prevent them from over-expanding. In plants the pressure exerted on the cell wall is called tugor pressure.
•A protist like paramecium has contractile vacuoles that collect water flowing in and pump it out to prevent them from over-expanding.
•Salt water fish pump salt out of their specialized gills so they do not dehydrate.
•Animal cells are bathed in blood. Kidneys keep the blood isotonic by remove excess salt and water.
2. Facilitated diffusion: diffusion of specific particles through transport proteins found in the membrane a.Transport Proteins are
specific – they “select” only certain molecules to cross the membrane
b.Transports larger or charged molecules

conformational change
1. Cells may need to move molecules against concentration gradient– shape change transports solute from
one side of membrane to other – protein “pump”– “costs” energy = ATP

Active Transport
1. cell uses energy
2. Movement from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration
•AGAINST THE CONCENTRATION GRADIENT!
•(Low High)
3. Move molecules in vesicles that are too large!
Types of Active Transport
1. Protein Pumps -transport proteins that require energy to do work.
•Example: Sodium / Potassium Pumps are important in nerve responses.
Sodium Potassium Pumps (Active Transport using proteins)
Protein changes shape to move molecules: this requires energy!
Types of Active Transport
• 2. Endocytosis: taking bulky material into a cell in a vesicle.• Uses energy• Cell membrane in-folds
around food particle• “cell eating”• forms food vacuole &
digests food• This is how white blood
cells eat bacteria!
Endocytosis
phagocytosis
pinocytosis
receptor-mediated endocytosis
fuse with lysosome for digestion
non-specificprocess
triggered bymolecular signal
Types of Active Transport
3. Exocytosis: Forces material out of cell in bulk in a vesicle• membrane surrounding the
material fuses with cell membrane
• Cell changes shape – requires energy
• EX: Hormones or wastes released from cell
