MOVEMENT THROUGH THE MEMBRANE
CELLULAR MEMBRANE MOVEMENT THROUGH THE MEMBRANE
2
The Cell Theory Anton Von Leeuwenkoek Robert Hooke
Developed the first microscope Robert Hooke Named the “cell” The Cell Theory states that all organisms are made up of basic living units called the cells
3
EUKARYOTE v PROKARYOTE
A eukaryote is any organism whose cells contain a nucleus and other structures (organelles) enclosed within membranes. The prokaryotes are a group of organisms whose cells lack a membrane-bound nucleus (karyon).
4
Cells Are Classified by Internal Organization
Eukaryotes have: Plasma membrane Nucleus: information center Cytoplasm: fluid within membrane Organelles: structures with specialized functions Prokaryotes No nucleus No true organelles
5
Cell Structure Reflects Cell Function
Muscle cells: contain numerous organelles providing energy needed for muscle contraction Nerve cells: are long and thin to carry impulses over distance Small size is efficient
6
The Cell
7
Body Fluid Compartments
EC fluid IC fluid Exchange much more selective; Why ? Interstitial fluid plasma Relatively free exchange
8
The Cell Membrane Fluid Mosaic Model Phospholipids Integral Proteins
Peripheral Proteins Glycocalyx Glycoproteins MHC Glycolipids Cholesterol
9
Cell Membrane Structure: Fluid Mosaic Model
Thickness ~ 8nm Cell Membrane Structure: Fluid Mosaic Model PLs Cholesterol Proteins: peripheral (associated) or integral
12
Passive Transport Active Transport Diffusion Always protein-mediated
Simple diffusion Facilitated diffusion Osmosis Active Transport Always protein-mediated Primary Secondary Endocytosis Exocytosis
14
Diffusion: Passive Transport Through Membrane
Passive transport: no energy required Diffusion: movement from area of high concentration to low Diffusion: Passive Transport Through Membrane
15
Three Forms of Passive Transport
Passive transport is powered by the concentration gradient. In the cell it occurs as: Diffusion through lipid layer Diffusion through protein channels Facilitated transport: transport or carrier proteins in membrane assist in moving molecules across the membrane, down the concentration gradient, without expending energy

Osmosis: net diffusion of water
across a semipermeable membrane
24
Red Blood Cells in Isotonic and Hypotonic Solutions
24
25
Variations in Tonicity
Isotonic: extracellular and intracellular ionic concentration equal Hypotonic: extracellular ionic concentration less than intracellular Hypertonic: extracellular ionic concentration more than intracellular
26
Active transport requires energy to move substances from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration. Active Transport
29
2° ACTIVE TRANSPORT Symport Antiport
Molecules are carried in same direction Examples: Glucose and Na+ Antiport Molecules are carried in opposite direction Examples: Na+/K+ pump
30
Vesicular Transport Movement of macromolecules across cell membrane:
Phagocytosis (specialized cells only) Macrophage or Phagocytes 2. Pinocytosis “Cell drinking” 3. Receptor mediated endocytosis Down Regulation 4. Exocytosis
31
Endocytosis and Exocytosis Move Materials in Bulk
Endocytosis moves material into cell Exocytosis moves material out of cell
