Membrane Transport
Membrane Transport Diffusion – a process in which molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration Molecules of dye Membrane (a) Passive transport of one type of molecule Net diffusion Equilibrium 11
Membrane Transport Animal cell H2O H2O H2O H2O Normal Lysing Shriveled Plasma membrane Plant cell H2O H2O H2O H2O Flaccid (wilts) Turgid Shriveled (a) Isotonic solution (b) Hypotonic solution (c) Hypertonic solution
Membrane Transport Facilitated diffusion
Membrane Transport Active transport requires energy to move molecules across a membrane. Lower solute concentration Solute ATP Higher solute concentration 14
Membrane Transport *Active transport Example: sodium-potassium pump
Membrane Transport *Voltage *Membrane potential *Some ion pumps generate voltage across membranes Electrogenic pump:
Membrane Transport *Each cell membrane has characteristic set of carrier proteins
Facilitated diffusion Osmosis Higher solute concentration MEMBRANE TRANSPORT Passive Transport (requires no energy) Active Transport (requires energy) Diffusion Facilitated diffusion Osmosis Higher solute concentration Higher water concentration (lower solute concentration) Higher solute concentration Solute Solute Solute Water Solute ATP Lower solute concentration Lower water concentration (higher solute concentration) Lower solute concentration
Traffic of Large Molecules Exocytosis is the secretion of large molecules within vesicles. Outside of cell Plasma membrane Cytoplasm 19
Traffic of Large Molecules Endocytosis takes material into a cell within vesicles that bud inward from the plasma membrane. 20
Transport of large molecules Exocytosis Types of endocytosis found in animal cells: Endocytosis *Phagocytosis *Pinocytosis *Receptor-mediated endocytosis
