1 The Plasma Membrane - Gateway to the Cell
7/30/2019 The Plasma Membrane - Gateway to the Cell G. Podgorski, Biol. 1010

2 Homeostasis Balanced internal condition of cells
The Plasma Membrane 7/30/2019 Homeostasis Balanced internal condition of cells Also called equilibrium Maintained by plasma membrane controlling what enters & leaves the cell G. Podgorski, Biol. 1010

3 Functions of Plasma Membrane
The Plasma Membrane 7/30/2019 Functions of Plasma Membrane Protective barrier Regulate transport in & out of cell (selectively permeable) Allow cell recognition Provide anchoring sites for filaments of cytoskeleton G. Podgorski, Biol. 1010

4 Functions of Plasma Membrane
The Plasma Membrane 7/30/2019 Functions of Plasma Membrane Provide a binding site for enzymes Interlocking surfaces bind cells together (junctions) Contains the cytoplasm (fluid in cell) G. Podgorski, Biol. 1010

5 Structure of the Cell Membrane
The Plasma Membrane 7/30/2019 Structure of the Cell Membrane G. Podgorski, Biol. 1010

6 Cell or Plasma Membrane
Composed of double layer of phospholipids and proteins Surrounds outside of ALL cells Controls what enters or leaves the cell Living layer Inside of cell (cytoplasm) Cell membrane Proteins Protein channel Lipid bilayer Carbohydrate chains Cholesterol Outside of cell Phospholipids 6 6

7 The Plasma Membrane 7/30/2019 FLUID MOSAIC MODEL FLUID- because individual phospholipids and proteins can move side-to-side within the layer, like it’s a liquid. MOSAIC- because of the pattern produced by the scattered protein molecules when the membrane is viewed from above. G. Podgorski, Biol. 1010

9 Cell Membrane Polar heads are hydrophilic “water loving”
The Plasma Membrane Cell Membrane 7/30/2019 Polar heads are hydrophilic “water loving” Nonpolar tails are hydrophobic “water fearing” Makes membrane “Selective” in what crosses G. Podgorski, Biol. 1010

10 Cell Membrane Hydrophobic molecules pass easily; hydrophilic DO NOT
The Plasma Membrane Cell Membrane 7/30/2019 The cell membrane is made of 2 layers of phospholipids called the lipid bilayer Hydrophobic molecules pass easily; hydrophilic DO NOT G. Podgorski, Biol. 1010

11 Semipermeable Membrane
The Plasma Membrane Semipermeable Membrane 7/30/2019 Ions, hydrophilic molecules larger than water, and large molecules such as proteins do not move through the membrane on their own. Small molecules and larger hydrophobic molecules move through easily. e.g. O2, CO2, H2O G. Podgorski, Biol. 1010

13 Types of Transport Across Cell Membranes
The Plasma Membrane 7/30/2019 Types of Transport Across Cell Membranes G. Podgorski, Biol. 1010

14 Simple Diffusion Requires NO energy
The Plasma Membrane 7/30/2019 Simple Diffusion Requires NO energy Molecules move from area of HIGH to LOW concentration G. Podgorski, Biol. 1010

15 The Plasma Membrane 7/30/2019 DIFFUSION Diffusion is a PASSIVE process which means no energy is used to make the molecules move, they have a natural KINETIC ENERGY G. Podgorski, Biol. 1010

16 Diffusion of Liquids The Plasma Membrane 7/30/2019
G. Podgorski, Biol. 1010

17 Diffusion through a Membrane
The Plasma Membrane 7/30/2019 Diffusion through a Membrane Cell membrane Solute moves DOWN concentration gradient (HIGH to LOW) G. Podgorski, Biol. 1010

18 Diffusion across a membrane Semipermeable membrane
The Plasma Membrane 7/30/2019 Osmosis Diffusion across a membrane Diffusion of water across a membrane Moves from HIGH water potential (low solute) to LOW water potential (high solute) Semipermeable membrane G. Podgorski, Biol. 1010

19 Diffusion of H2O Across A Membrane
The Plasma Membrane 7/30/2019 Diffusion of H2O Across A Membrane High H2O potential Low solute concentration Low H2O potential High solute concentration G. Podgorski, Biol. 1010

29 Passive Transport Simple Diffusion Doesn’t require energy
The Plasma Membrane 7/30/2019 Passive Transport Simple Diffusion Doesn’t require energy Moves high to low concentration Example: Oxygen or water diffusing into a cell and carbon dioxide diffusing out. G. Podgorski, Biol. 1010

30 Facilitated diffusion
