Structure and Function of the cell membrane
2
Structure and Function of the cell membrane
Contains lipids which allow the membrane to be fluid.
3
Structure and Function of the cell membrane
Contains lipids which allow the membrane to be fluid. Acts as a barrier to the outside:
4
Structure and Function of the cell membrane
Contains lipids which allow the membrane to be fluid. Acts as a barrier to the outside: Selectively permeable
5
Structure and Function of the cell membrane
Contains lipids which allow the membrane to be fluid. Acts as a barrier to the outside: Selectively permeable- regulates what enters and leaves the cell
6
Structure and Function of the cell membrane
Contains lipids which allow the membrane to be fluid. Acts as a barrier to the outside: Selectively permeable- regulates what enters and leaves the cell Also called a lipid bilayer
7
Membrane Structure composed of large molecules of proteins and phospholipids. Polar head (hydrophilic) Non-Polar tails (hydrophobic)
8
Lipid bilayer
10
Parts of protein polar and parts nonpolar
Proteins are embedded in the membrane. Parts of protein polar and parts nonpolar Used for communication Transportation
11
This is a fluid mosaic model of a cell membrane:
Why is it called this?

Why is it called this? What is a mosaic?
13
Cell Walls
14
Cell Walls Cell walls are found in plants, algae, fungi, and many prokaryotes.
15
Cell Walls Cell walls are found in plants, algae, fungi, and many prokaryotes. The cell wall lies outside the cell membrane.
16
Cell Walls Cell walls are found in plants, algae, fungi, and many prokaryotes. The cell wall lies outside the cell membrane. Most cell walls are porous enough to allow water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and certain other substances to pass through easily.

18
Polar molecules are unable to enter the cell without help
19
How do materials move into and out of a cell?
20
How do materials move into and out of a cell?
To maintain homeostasis.
21
How do materials move into and out of a cell?
To maintain homeostasis. All cells live in an aqueous environment Substances that need to be moved are dissolved in liquid
22
How do materials move into and out of a cell?
Solution- mixture of substances
23
How do materials move into and out of a cell?
Solution- mixture of substances Solute and Solvent
24
How do materials move into and out of a cell?
Solution- mixture of substances Solute and Solvent Concentration- amount of solute in a solvent
25
How do materials move into and out of a cell?
Passive transport: does not need energy
26
1. Diffusion If there is a gradient
Particles move from their highest concentration to the lowest concentration.
27
particles move until there is an equilibrium
1. Diffusion If there is a gradient Particles move from their highest concentration to the lowest concentration. particles move until there is an equilibrium
28
Particles are evenly distributed
Equilibrium Particles are evenly distributed
29
Low concentration High concentration
30
Only some particles can freely move through the membrane.
32
Movement of water. Based on concentration gradients.
2. Osmosis Movement of water. Based on concentration gradients.
33
Based on concentration gradients
2. Osmosis Movement of water. Based on concentration gradients which direction the water moves depends on the concentration of dissolved particles..
36
osmosis creates 3 situations
1. hypertonic solution 2. hypotonic solution 3. isotonic solution
37
Isotonic- Concentration of solutes
inside the cell is equal to outside the cell.
38
Hypertonic- Concentration of solutes
is higher outside the cell. Water leaves Cell shrinks
39
Hypotonic- Concentration of solutes
is higher inside the cell. Water enters Cell expands and can burst
40
cell walls of plants and fungus prevent the cell from bursting.
some unicellular organisms have contractile vacuoles to get rid of extra water
41
Things that help with Diffusion
Proteins help the movement of large molecules across the membrane.
42
Things that help with Diffusion
Proteins help the movement of large molecules across the membrane. Proteins form channels for the ions to pass
43
Things that help with Diffusion
Proteins help the movement of large molecules across the membrane. Proteins form channels for the ions to pass How fast they move depends on the concentration
44
Things that help with Diffusion
Proteins help the movement of large molecules across the membrane. Proteins form channels for the ions to pass How fast they move depends on the concentration Does not require energy
45
3. Facilitated Diffusion
46
Facilitated Diffusion
Step 1: when substrate attaches protein changes shape.
47
Facilitated Diffusion
Step 1: when substrate attaches protein changes shape. Step 2: Now the substrate can move.
48
Facilitated Diffusion
Step 1: when substrate attaches protein changes shape. Step 2: Now the substrate can move. Step 3: protein goes back its original shape.
49
Active Transport Moves things against their concentration gradient.
Uses energy (ATP) Uses carrier proteins and pumps
50
ATP What is the structure of an ATP molecule?
51
ATP What is the structure of an ATP molecule? Sugar P
52
ATP What is the structure of an ATP molecule? Sugar P Nucleotide
Energy is contained between the phosphate bonds. When the bond breaks energy is released.
53
Energy release ATP- adenosine triphosphate -energy is being stored ADP- adenosine diphosphate -energy has been released
55
Sodium Potassium Pump Protein will only open if there is ATP
56
Sodium Potassium Pump Important for muscle contraction/ nervous system
Protein will only open if there is ATP Important for muscle contraction/ nervous system
57
Very large molecules move by vesicles
-proteins -polysaccharides
58
Endocytosis Membrane forms a pouch and moves materials into the cell.
61
Phagocytosis
62
Exocytosis
63
Cell Communication Cells need to sense the world around them.
Cells use hormones as signaling molecules.
64
Cell Communication Cells need to sense the world around them.
Cells use hormones as signaling molecules. Receptor molecules- on the cell surface, able to bind to the messenger molecule.
65
Signal molecules can attach to the receptor on the protein to allow it to open.
