In Da Club - Membranes & Transport: Crash Course Biology #5 (11:14)
The Cell Membrane Aka Plasma Membrane Controls what enters and leaves the cell Phospholipid Bilayer
Passive and Active Transport No energy required Material moves against the concentration gradient Material is too large to pass through plasma membrane Energy required Material moves down the concentration gradient
Diffusion is the movement of particles from high to low concentration Diffusion
Osmosis – Diffusion of water across the cell membrane Isotonic – Equilibrium reached Hypertonic – Less water, more solute Hypotonic – More water, less solute S S S S S S S S S W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W Osmosis

Diffusion through carrier proteins Specialized doors/windows through the plasma membrane Primarily for molecules like sugar too large to pass through the plasma membrane Only allow specific material through Facilitated Diffusion
Pumps material across the plasma membrane Moves material “up” the concentration gradient Moves material through specific carrier proteins Requires energy to “pump” Molecular Pump Lower solute concentration Higher solute concentration ATP Solute
Exocytosis discharges material from the cell via transport vesicles Endocytosis accepts material into the cell via transport vesicles Endo- & Exo- cytosis Movement of very large molecules
