Cell Membrane & Transport Fluid mosaic model - Lipids, proteins & carbohydrates Membrane trafficking - Passive Transport - Active Transport - Bulk Transport
2
Plasma Membrane - Phospholipid Bilayer Composition: - lipids, proteins & carbohydrates Phospholipids, cholesterol & glycolipids - head: contains a polar phosphate group (hydrophilic) - tails: 2 nonpolar hydrocarbon fatty acid (hydrophobic) Functions : - protection - controls traffic - selective permeable - anchoring/fusion

4
Functions of Membrane Proteins
5
Membrane Trafficking
6
Passive Transport Simple diffusion: mov’t of molecules from a region of high [ ] low Concentration gradient: difference in [ ] b/t two regions - substances always move in the direction of the [ ] gradient Membrane permeability of lipid bilayer - nonpolar vs polar molecules
7
O2 & CO2 can cross a lipid bilayer without help from membrane proteins – what properties allow this to occur?
8
Diffusion Properties Characteristics: not carrier-mediated, [ ] gradient & passive Definitions: solution, solvent & solutes Factors that influence rate of diffusion: –temperature –state of solvent –size of molecules –diffusion gradient –membrane structure So what is solubility?
9
Osmosis Diffusion of H 2 O across a selectively permeable membrane from a region of solute [ ] to a solute [ ] establish equilibrium Osmotic pressure: pressure applied to the cell membrane from flow of H 2 O during osmosis -- # of particles in solution Tonicity: the ability of a solution to cause a cell to gain or lose water - isotonic, hypotonic & hypertonic
10
Facilitated Diffusion: Passive Transport Aided by Proteins Carrier proteins
11
Primary active transport: movement of solutes against [ ] gradient biological membrane - energy dependent Na + /K + -ATPase pump: –resting membrane potential –osmotic balance –drives other pumps Electrogenic pump Active Transport + + + + + + + - - - - - - - - - ATP http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/olc/dl/120068/bio03.swf
