1. 1 The Plasma Membrane The Plasma Membrane - Gateway to the Cell

2. Schedule/Announcements 3 weeks left in Quarter 2 Then Final Exams (covers everything we have learned so far) Final semester 1 grade (permanent, counts towards GPA) = Quarter 1 (45%) + Quarter 2 (45%) + Final Exam(10%) 2

3. Topics on the Final Blood typing Experimental Design (Variables) DNA/Gel Electrophoresis Body Systems HIPAA Diabetes Homeostasis/Feedback Macromolecules/Nutrition Cell Membrane Osmosis/Diffusion 3

4. 4 Photograph of a Cell Membrane

5. 5 Cell Membrane flexible The cell membrane is flexible and allows a unicellular organism to move

6. 6 Homeostasis Balanced internal condition of cells Also called equilibrium Maintained by plasma membrane controlling what enters & leaves the cell

7. 7 Functions of Plasma Membrane Protective barrier Regulate transport in & out of cell (selectively permeable) Allow cell recognition Provide anchoring sites for filaments of cytoskeleton

8. 8 Structure of the Cell Membrane

9. 9 Phospholipids Proteins Membrane Components

10. 10 Phospholipids Make up the cell membrane Contains 2 fatty acid chains that are nonpolar Head is polar & contains a Phosphate group

11. 11 Fluid mosaic model FLUID- because individual phospholipids and proteins can move around freely within the layer, like it’s a liquid. MOSAIC- because of the pattern produced by the scattered protein molecules when the membrane is viewed from above. FLUID MOSAIC MODEL

12. 12 hydrophilic Polar heads are hydrophilic “water loving ” hydrophobic Nonpolar tails are hydrophobic “water fearing” Cell Membrane Makes membrane “Selective” in what crosses

13. 13

14. 14 Cell Membrane Hydrophobic molecules pass easily; hydrophillic DO NOT phospholipid bilayer The cell membrane is made of 2 layers of phospholipids called the lipid bilayer

15. 15 Solubility Materials that are soluble in lipids can pass through the cell membrane easily

16. 16 Small non-charged molecules move through easily. Examples: O 2, and CO 2 Semipermeable Membrane

17. 17 Ions, and large molecules such as glucose and amino acids do not move through the membrane on their own. They must use transport proteins Semipermeable Membrane

18. 18Review Semi-permeable

19. 19 Types of Transport Across Cell Membranes

20. 20 Simple Diffusion NORequires NO energy HIGH to LOWMolecules move from area of HIGH to LOW concentration

21. 21 DIFFUSION PASSIVE Diffusion is a PASSIVE process which means no energy is used to make the molecules move.

22. 22 Diffusion of Liquids

23. 23 Diffusion through a Membrane Cell membrane Solute moves DOWN concentration gradient (HIGH to LOW)

24. 24 Osmosis Diffusion of water across a membraneDiffusion of water across a membrane Moves from HIGH Concentration to a LOW concentrationMoves from HIGH Concentration to a LOW concentration Diffusion across a membrane Semipermeable membrane

25. Tonic Solutions A Hypertonic solution has more solute than the cell. A cell placed in this solution will give up water (osmosis) and shrink. A Hypotonic solution has less solute than the cell. A cell placed in this solution will take up water (osmosis) and blow up. An Isotonic solution has just the right amount of solute for the cell. A cell placed in this solution will stay the same.

26. 26 Cell in Isotonic Solution CELL 10% NaCL 90% H 2 O 10% NaCL 90% H 2 O What is the direction of water movement? The cell is at _______________. equilibrium ENVIRONMENT NO NET MOVEMENT

27. 27 Cell in Hypotonic Solution CELL 10% NaCL 90% H 2 O 20% NaCL 80% H 2 O What is the direction of water movement?

28. 28 Cell in Hypertonic Solution CELL 15% NaCL 85% H 2 O 5% NaCL 95% H 2 O What is the direction of water movement? ENVIRONMENT

32. 32 Three Forms of Transport Across the Membrane

33. 33 Passive Transport Simple Diffusion  Doesn’t require energy  Moves high to low concentration Example: Oxygen diffusing in or carbon dioxide diffusing out  Example: Oxygen diffusing in or carbon dioxide diffusing out.

34. 34 Passive Transport Facilitated diffusion  Doesn’t require energy  Uses transport proteins to move high to low concentration Examples: Glucose or amino acids moving from blood into a cell.

35. 35 Active Transport  Requires energy or ATP  Moves materials from LOW to HIGH concentration  AGAINST concentration gradient

36. 36 Moving the “Big Stuff” Molecules are moved out of the cell by vesicles that fuse with the plasma membrane. Exocytosis Exocytosis - moving things out. This is how many hormones are secreted and how nerve cells communicate with one another This is how many hormones are secreted and how nerve cells communicate with one another.

37. 37 Exocytosis Exocytic vesicle immediately after fusion with plasma membrane.

38. 38 Moving the “Big Stuff” Large molecules move materials into the cell by one of three forms of endocytosis Large molecules move materials into the cell by one of three forms of endocytosis.

39. 39Pinocytosis Most common form of endocytosis Most common form of endocytosis. Takes in dissolved molecules as a vesicle Takes in dissolved molecules as a vesicle.

40. 40 Pinocytosis Cell engulf materialCell engulf material Materials dissolve in water to be brought into cellMaterials dissolve in water to be brought into cell Called “Cell Drinking”Called “Cell Drinking”

41. 41 Example of Pinocytosis pinocytic vesicles forming mature transport vesicle Transport across a capillary cell (blue).

42. 42 Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis Some integral proteins have receptors on their surface to recognize & take in hormones, cholesterol, etc.

43. 43 Endocytosis – Phagocytosis Used to engulf large particles such as food, bacteria, etc. into vesicles Called “Cell Eating”

44. 44 Phagocytosis About to Occur

45. 45 Phagocytosis Phagocytosis - Capture of a Yeast Cell (yellow) by Membrane Extensions of an Immune System Cell (blue)

46. 46 Exocytosis The opposite of endocytosis is exocytosis. Large molecules that are manufactured in the cell are released through the cell membrane. Inside Cell Cell environment
