Movement in and out of a cell
Plasma Membrane Movement in and out of a cell
2
Plasma Membrane A flexible boundary between the cell and it’s environment JOB: allow steady supply of nutrients to come into the cell no matter what the external conditions are Too much of any nutrient or other substance can be harmful
3
Plasma Membrane (PM) Process of maintaining balance in a cell’s environment is homeostasis Selective permeability allows some molecules to pass through while keeping other out Ex: screen on a window
4
PM: Structure Lipids are large biomolecules composed of glycerol and 3 fatty acids If a phosphate replaces one of the fatty acids, a phospholipid is formed PM is made up of a phospholipid bilayer (2 layers of phospholipids back-to-back
5
PM: Structure 2 fatty acid chains are non-polar and form the tail of the phospholipid The head contains the phosphate group and is polar
6
Continued Water is a key component of life
Polar head allows PM to interact with watery environment (H2O is a polar molecule) (Hydrophyllic) water loving Non-polar tails avoid water (Hydrophobic) water fearing Phospholipid molecules make a sandwich with tails in, heads out.
7
PM: Fluid Mosaic Model PM is not static (it doesn’t stay still)
Phospholipids move within the membrane like water molecules move with currents in a lake Proteins also move through phospholipids like boats Proteins create “mosaic” or pattern on membrane surface
8
PM: Other Components Cholesterol: helps stabilize phospholipids by preventing tails from sticking together Transport proteins: Span entire membrane Regulate which molecules enter and leave cell Proteins on OUTER surface help cells identify chemical signals and each other Proteins on INNER surface help attach PM to cells internal support structure flexibility

Plasma Membrane Day Two
18
Cell Transport 2 types of cell transport:
Passive Transport: Movement of particles across a membrane requiring NO energy High concentration Low concentration Active Transport:
19
Passive Transport: Osmosis
Osmosis: diffusion of H2O across a selectively permeable membrane. Ex. If membrane that only allows water to pass through, water will diffuse to side where H2O concentration is lower and will continue until equal concentration is reached on both sides
20
Passive Transport: Osmosis
Isotonic Solution: Concentration is the same both inside and outside the cell Hypotonic Solution: concentration is lower outside than inside the cell Hypertonic Solution: concentration is higher outside than inside the cell
21
Passive Transport: Osmosis
22
Passive Transport: Diffusion
Diffusion: net movement of particles from higher concentration to lower. Results from random movement of particles running into one another Very slow process because it relies on random motion
23
Continued 3 key factors:
Concentration: Increase in concentration will increase the rate of diffusion Temperature: Increase in temperature will increase rate of diffusion Pressure: Increase in pressure will increase rate of diffusion Dynamic Equilibrium: continuous movement with no overall concentration change
24
Passive Transport: Diffusion
25
Active Transport Active Transport: Movement of materials through a membrane against a concentration gradient (requires energy)
26
Active Transport: Carrier Transport Proteins
Carrier Proteins: Bind with particle of the substance to be transported Lock and Key!! With the right fit, chemical energy allows shape of carrier protein to change releasing particle on other side Much like the action of a door
27
Active Transport: Carrier Proteins
28
Active Transport: Endocytosis
Endocytosis occurs when the cell surrounds and takes in large material from it’s environment Does not pass through membrane Engulfed and enclosed by part of the PM Membrane breaks away creating a vacuole with the material inside Phagocytosis: cell brings in a solid Pinocytosis: cell brings in liquid
29
Active Transport: Exocytosis
Exocytosis occurs when the cell expels or secretes large particles from the cell Ex. wastes, hormones
