13. 13 Cell Membrane Hydrophobic molecules pass easily; hydrophilic DO NOT phospholipid bilayer The cell membrane is made of 2 layers of phospholipids called the lipid bilayer copyright cmassengale

14. 14 Solubility Materials that are soluble in lipids can pass through the cell membrane easily copyright cmassengale

15. 15 Small molecules and larger hydrophobic molecules move through easily. e.g. O 2, CO 2, H 2 O Semipermeable Membrane copyright cmassengale

16. 16 Ions, hydrophilic molecules larger than water, and large molecules such as proteins do not move through the membrane on their own. Semipermeable Membrane copyright cmassengale

17. Cell Transport Why do cells need to transport materials across the cell membrane? -to removes wastes/extra “stuff” -to acquire nutrients necessary to live. copyright cmassengale17

18. Introduction to Cell Transport Cells are at equilibrium when a type of material is equal on both sides of the membrane. =Na+ molecule 18

19. Introduction to Cell Transport When the concentration of a substance is unequal there is a concentration gradient. = Na+ molecule copyright cmassengale19

20. Introduction to Cell Transport Going WITH the concentration gradient means moving towards equilibrium. Going from high to low. copyright cmassengale20

21. Introduction to Cell Transport Going against the concentration gradient is when the cell is working against equilibrium. Going from low to high copyright cmassengale21

22. Introduction to Cell Transport Some types of diffusion require the cell to use/burn energy known as ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Passive transport-does NOT require energy. Active transport-DOES require energy. copyright cmassengale22

25. 25 Simple Diffusion NORequires NO energy HIGH to LOWMolecules move from area of HIGH to LOW concentration copyright cmassengale

26. 26 DIFFUSION PASSIVE Diffusion is a PASSIVE process which means no energy is used to make the molecules move, they have a natural KINETIC ENERGY copyright cmassengale

42. 42 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  Example: Oxygen or water diffusing into a cell and carbon dioxide diffusing out. copyright cmassengale

43. 43 Passive Transport Facilitated diffusion  Doesn’t require energy  Uses transport proteins to move high to low concentration Examples: Glucose or amino acids moving from blood into a cell. copyright cmassengale

44. 44 Proteins Are Critical to Membrane Function copyright cmassengale

45. 45 Types of Transport Proteins Channel proteins are embedded in the cell membrane & have a pore for materials to cross Carrier proteins can change shape to move material from one side of the membrane to the other copyright cmassengale

46. 46 Facilitated Diffusion Molecules will randomly move through the pores in Channel Proteins. copyright cmassengale

47. 47 Facilitated Diffusion Some Carrier proteins do not extend through the membrane.Some Carrier proteins do not extend through the membrane. They bond and drag molecules through the lipid bilayer and release them on the opposite side.They bond and drag molecules through the lipid bilayer and release them on the opposite side. copyright cmassengale
