1. Cell Membranes Osmosis and Diffusion

2. Phospholipid Bilayer

3. Functions of Membranes
1. Protect cell 2. Control incoming and outgoing substances 3. Maintain ion concentrations of various substances 4. Selectively permeable - allows some molecules in, others are kept out

4. Cell Membranes are Semi-permeable
Allows some substances into the cell, but screens out toxins and bacteria
Substances allowed to cross include:
water, CO2, Glucose, O2, Amino Acids, Alcohol, and antihistamines. HIV and bacterial meningitis can cross the barrier.

5. Methods of Transport Across Membranes
1. Diffusion -passive transport - no energy expended 2. Osmosis - Passive transport of water across membrane 3. Facilitated Diffusion - Use of proteins to carry polar molecules or ions across 4. Active Transport- requires energy to transport molecules against a concentration gradient – energy is in the form of ATP

6. Diffusion - the process by which molecules spread from areas of high concentration, to areas of low concentration. Osmosis – the process by which water molecules spread across a membrane from areas of high concentration, to areas of low concentration

Blood

8. Diffusion
Movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
Movement from one side of a membrane to another, un-facilitated

9. Diffusion

10. Osmosis

11. What determines the flow of materials in and out of the cell?
Hypotonic Solution - One solution has a lower concentration of solute than another.
Hypertonic Solution - one solution has a higher concentration of solute than another.
Isotonic Solution - both solutions have same concentrations of solute.

12. Plant and Animal Cells put into various solutions

13. Types of Transport

14. These ABC proteins play a central role in all living cells in the nutrient uptake, protein, drug and antibiotic excretion, osmoregulation, antigen presentation, signal transduction and other important cellular functions.
