Chapter 2 The Cell: Basic Unit of Structure and Function
2
Our friend, the cell all life is made of cells
Cells come from other cells
3
Most cells are very small
We use microscopes to look at them Some cells are not small

Plasma membrane Made of a bilayer of phospholipids
Table 2.3, 2.4 Plasma membrane Made of a bilayer of phospholipids Cholesterol molecules and proteins embedded in membrane Semi-permeable protective layer around cell

Plasma membrane Each phospholipid has hydrophilic head, hydrophobic tail Hydrophilic head faces water Hydrophobic tail faces away from water two layers of tails face each other

Plasma membrane extracellular fluid Fluid inside cell is part of cytoplasm, called intracellular fluid (ICF) Fluid outside cell is extracellular fluid (ECF) intracellular fluid

14
Passive transport Move particles across membrane without using energy
Diffusion particles moving down concentration gradient from area of high concentration to area of low concentration
15
Passive transport Osmosis Facilitated diffusion
high glucose concentration Osmosis diffusion of water across a permeable membrane Facilitated diffusion requires use of transport proteins to move across plasma membrane does not use energy low glucose concentration
16
Passive transport Bulk filtration
diffusion of solutes and solvents together across a membrane Ex. transport of water and nutrients from blood into extracellular fluid pushed by hydrostatic pressure (pressure of fluid against the wall of the blood vessel)
17
Active transport Movement of a substance across a plasma membrane AGAINST a concentration gradient from area of low concentration to area of high concentration Uses energy from ATP, and usually a transport protein to move the substance Pumps use ATP or kinetic energy of another particle moving down its gradient

Phospholipid bilayer Sodium-Potassium Pump Extracellular fluid 1. ATP binds to transport protein Binding changes shape of protein, allowing sodium to bind ATP binding site ATP Na+ Transport protein Cytoplasm 1
19
Sodium-Potassium Pump
Breakdown of ATP releases energy 2. ATP separates into ADP and a phosphate group, releasing energy Transport protein uses energy to change shape Shape change releases sodium outside cell; binding sites for potassium open K+ Na+ ADP P Extracellular fluid Cytoplasm Transport protein changes shape (requires energy from ATP breakdown) 2
