1
Thin, flexible boundary between the cell and its environment
Cellular Structure and Function The Plasma Membrane Plasma Membrane Thin, flexible boundary between the cell and its environment Allows nutrients into the cell Allows waste to leave the cell
2
Selective Permeability
Cellular Structure and Function The Plasma Membrane Selective Permeability The plasma membrane controls the movement of substances into and out of the cell. Plasma Membrane Controls the amount of a substance entering the cell Controls the amount of a substance leaving the cell
3
The plasma membrane is composed of the phospholipid bilayer.
Cellular Structure and Function The Plasma Membrane The plasma membrane is composed of the phospholipid bilayer. A phospholipid molecule is composed of a glycerol backbone, two fatty acid chains, and a phosphate group.
4
Cellular Structure and Function
The Plasma Membrane Fluid Mosaic Model The phospholipid bilayer allows other molecules to “float” in the membrane. Other Components Proteins Cholesterol Carbohydrates
5
Transmit signals inside the cell Act as a support structure
Cellular Structure and Function The Plasma Membrane Proteins Transmit signals inside the cell Act as a support structure Provide pathways for substances to enter and leave
6
Prevents fatty acid tails from sticking together
Cellular Structure and Function The Plasma Membrane Cholesterol Prevents fatty acid tails from sticking together
7
Identify chemical signals
Cellular Structure and Function The Plasma Membrane Carbohydrates Identify chemical signals
8
Cellular Structure and Function
9
Movement of particles across the cell membrane without using energy
Cellular Structure and Function Cellular Transport Passive Transport Movement of particles across the cell membrane without using energy Three Modes of Passive Transport Diffusion Facilitated Diffusion Osmosis
10
Cellular Structure and Function
Cellular Transport Diffusion Movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration
11
Diffusion is controlled by
Cellular Structure and Function Cellular Transport Diffusion is controlled by Temperature Pressure Concentration Dynamic Equilibrium Reached when diffusion of material into the cell equals diffusion of material out of the cell Molecules continue to move, but the overall concentration remains the same.
12
Cellular Structure and Function
Cellular Transport Diffusion in a Cell
13
Facilitated Diffusion
Cellular Structure and Function Cellular Transport Facilitated Diffusion Movement of materials across the plasma membrane using proteins
14
Channel Proteins Carrier Proteins Cellular Transport
Cellular Structure and Function Cellular Transport Channel Proteins Carrier Proteins
15
Cellular Structure and Function
16
Diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane
Cellular Structure and Function Cellular Transport Osmosis Diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane Three Types of Solutions Isotonic Hypotonic Hypertonic
17
Cellular Structure and Function
18
Cellular Structure and Function
Cellular Transport Isotonic Solution Water and dissolved substances diffuse into and out of the cell at the same rate. Plant Cell
19
Solute concentration is higher inside the cell.
Cellular Structure and Function Cellular Transport Hypotonic Solution Solute concentration is higher inside the cell. Water diffuses into the cell. Plant Cell
20
Solute concentration is higher outside the cell.
Cellular Structure and Function Cellular Transport Hypertonic Solution Solute concentration is higher outside the cell. Water diffuses out of the cell. Plant Cell
21
Active Transport Using Carrier Proteins
Cellular Structure and Function Cellular Transport Active Transport Movement of particles across the cell membrane using energy Active Transport Using Carrier Proteins
22
Process by which the cell surrounds and takes particles into the cell
Cellular Structure and Function Cellular Transport Endocytosis Process by which the cell surrounds and takes particles into the cell Exocytosis Secretion of material out of the plasma membrane
