1
Structure of the Cell Membrane
The two layers are made of lipids and proteins are embedded in them Double layer = bilayer
2
Membrane Proteins Peripheral proteins – proteins attached to the surface of the cell membrane Integral proteins – proteins that go through the membrane – carbohydrates can be attached to them Transport molecules through the lipid bilayer (channels and pumps)
3
Fluid Mosaic Model Lipid molecules that form the membrane are fluid
The proteins are free to move about The cell membrane has fluid properties
4
Carbohydrates Attach to the proteins or lipids
Function as Id cards – allows cells to interact with one another
7
The Cell Membrane
8
Cell Membrane plasma membrane
Separates the cell from the surrounding environment Controls the movement of materials in and out of the cell – lets some in and some out Protection Support

5-4 Movement of Materials through the cell membrane
14
Every cell is in a liquid environment
Liquid environment makes it easier for food, oxygen and water to move in and out
15
Diffusion – Passive Transport (No energy, No ATP)
Molecules are in constant motion Tend to spread out randomly in space Molecules move from an area of greater concentration to an area of lesser concentration Diffusion – process by which molecules move from greater to lesser concentration
18
Equilibrium Concentration of substances on both sides of the membrane are the same Molecules are still moving back and forth but equally Molecules always try to get to this
20
Permeability Determines what moves across
Permeable – substance can move in and out Impermeable – substance can’t move Selectively permeable – some things can pass some can’t – characteristic of biological membranes
21
Osmosis – Passive Transport
Diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane Water passes through cell membranes rapidly Moves greater to lesser
23
Hypotonic solution – Solution in which the concentration of solutes is lower than inside the cell
24
Isotonic solution – Solution in which the concentration of solutes in and outside the cell is equal
25
Hypertonic solution – solution in which the concentration of solutes is higher than inside the cell
27
Osmosis Hypertonic Hypotonic Isotonic Normal plasmolyzed wilted
28
Osmotic pressure Turgor pressure
force exerted by water molecules hitting the membrane Causes water to move High pressure to low pressure
29
Osmotic pressure – Problems for a cell
Cytoplasm filled with salts, sugars and proteins Cell has a low concentration of water inside as compared to outside Water would continuously move in – cell would burst
30
How cells deal Ex. Cells in a fluid like blood not in water – concentrations are equal Plants and bacteria – cell wall keeps cell from exploding even under high osmotic pressure but they are very vulnerable Pump it out Ex. Unicellular organisms – paramecium – contractile vacuole – pumps it out
31
Facilitated Diffusion
Passive transport Movement occurs from greater to lesser conc. Need a concentration gradient Molecules brought in by a carrier protein Fast, specific Facilitates or helps
33
Active Transport – 2 types
Needs energy Move materials against a concentration gradient Lesser to greater conc.
34
1. Protein Pumps Pump molecules into the cell Ca, K, Na Need energy
Sodium potassium pump
35
2. Endocytosis (In) Process of taking food into the cell by surrounding it with the cell membrane Brings in large molecules, clumps of food and whole cells Two Types Phagocytosis – large particles Pinocytosis – liquid, small particles Exocytosis – large molecules out of cell - exit
