1 Movement Through the Membrane

2 Cell Membrane What is the purpose of a cell membrane?

3 Cell Membrane Purpose  Cell membranes control what enters and exits the cell.  Also helps support and protect cell.

4 What is the membrane made of?  A double layer sheet – called a lipid bilayer

5 Question  What types of things are lipids?

6 Lipid Bilayer

7 Question  What does it mean when someone has a phobia?

8 Hydrophobic  Means afraid of water  The tails are hydrophobic

9 Hydrophilic  Loves water  The head loves water

10 Questions  What does hydrophobic mean?  What does hydrophilic mean?

11 Questions  Why is it important that we know which parts of the membrane are hydrophobic or hydrophilic?

12 How does this lipid bilayer form?  When certain lipids are put in water they naturally make a bilayer – why?

13 Is there anything else in the bilayer?  Yes indeed – there are proteins and carbohydrates stuck in the bilayer

14 Fluid Mosaic Model

15 Why is the mosaic model important?  Proteins form channels through the membrane.  Carbohydrates act as chemical id cards – helps cells id each other

16 Semi-Permeable Membrane  What does semi-permeable mean?

17 How does “stuff” come through the membrane?  Diffusion  Osmosis  Transport

18 Diffusion  Molecules moving from an area of greater concentration to areas of lower concentration

19 What is the end result of diffusion  Equilibrium – equal  So if molecules are in equilibrium then they are the same concentration throughout a solution

20 Question  How do you think molecules that are in equilibrium move across a membrane?

21 Why is diffusion awesome?  Diffusion doesn’t take any energy – it just happens naturally

22 Osmosis  Water is so important that we named the movement of water osmosis

23 Solution Concentrations  What does concentration mean?

24 Isotonic  Iso- means same  An isotonic solution has the same concentration on both sides of the membrane

25 Question  What direction would the water move if the solution was isotonic?

26 Hypotonic  What does hypo mean?

27 Hypotonic  Under/beneath  Hypotonic means it is a lower concentration

28 Question  What direction would the water move if inside the cell was hypotonic?

29 Hypertonic  What does hyper mean?

30 Hypertonic  Above  A hypertonic solution has a higher concentration

31 Question  What direction would the water move if inside the cell was hypertonic?

32 Effects of Osmosis – in regards to water

33 Typical Cell  The cell is filled with sugars and salts and all sorts of things – it is almost always hypertonic in regards to the concentration of these molecules

34 Question  If a cell is usually hypertonic – what direction does that mean that water will move?

35 Osmotic Pressure  Pressure because of osmosis on the hypertonic side of a membrane

36 Results of Osmotic Pressure  What can happen if too much water comes into a cell?  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5895 WcYmaw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5895 WcYmaw

37 Cell Lysing  To lyse means to break down/burst  Give me the name of the cell organelle that has lyse in its name

38 Protection from Lysing  What do plant cells have that could protect them from lysing?

39 Transport  Facilitated  Active

40 How does the size of a molecule effect movement through the membrane?  Which moves easier – large molecules or small molecules?

41 Facilitated Diffusion  Molecules that cannot cross the membrane – but do diffuse  Wait that doesn’t make sense….

42 Facilitated Diffusion  Protein channels – these allow molecules to cross the membrane

43 How Does Glucose Move?  Glucose has a special protein channel that allows it to diffuse across

44 Question  How do molecules move in diffusion?  From areas of _______ to areas of _______

45 Active Transport  This happens a lot when molecules move against the concentration gradient

46 What is the concentration gradient?  Gradient is the difference between the concentrations  Which way do molecules usually move?

47 Question  Which way would molecules move if they were going against the concentration gradient?

48 Active Transport  “pump”  Endocytosis  Phagocytosis  Exocytosis

49 Active Transport  Requires energy  For smaller molecules it acts as a pump  Na (pumped out)  K (pumped in)
