The Plasma Membrane and Cell Transport Biology Sections 7.2 and 8.1 Biology Sections 7.2 and 8.1
2
Plasma Membrane G Plasma membrane - flexible boundary between a cell and its environment. Inside Cell Outside Cell
3
What is the nickname of the Plasma Membrane? The “Gate Keeper” Because it maintains homeostasis by controlling what enters and leaves the cell.
4
What does selectively permeable mean? G Membrane allows some molecules to pass while keeping others out. G Kind of like the screen on your window. G Membrane allows some molecules to pass while keeping others out. G Kind of like the screen on your window.
5
Structure of the Plasma Membrane. G Made of phospholipids like the one below:
6
Phospholipid G Phospholipid is made of glycerol backbone, two fatty acid tails and a phosphate group. Polar head (includes phosphate group) Nonpolar tails (fatty acids) Glycerol Backbone
7
Phosholipid Bilayer G There are two layers of phospholipids back to back, making the plasma membrane a phospholipid bilayer.
8
Model of the Plasma Membrane G Fluid Mosaic Model
9
What can be found in the Plasma Membrane G Proteins (Transport Proteins) G Cholesterol - for stabilizing the phospholipids. G Carbohydrates - identify chemical signals. G Proteins (Transport Proteins) G Cholesterol - for stabilizing the phospholipids. G Carbohydrates - identify chemical signals.

Transport Across the Plasma Membrane G 2 Main Types 1. Passive Transport - G Moves things with their concentration gradient. G No energy needed! 2. Active Transport - G Moves things against their concentration gradient. G Requires energy! G 2 Main Types 1. Passive Transport - G Moves things with their concentration gradient. G No energy needed! 2. Active Transport - G Moves things against their concentration gradient. G Requires energy!
15
What is a concentration gradient?
16
Passive Transport Moves things from high to low concentration. G Diffusion - simple movement from high to low concentration. No ENERGY required! G Osmosis - diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane. (No ENERGY required!) G Facilitated Diffusion - passive transport using a channel or carrier protein. (still does not require energy) G Diffusion - simple movement from high to low concentration. No ENERGY required! G Osmosis - diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane. (No ENERGY required!) G Facilitated Diffusion - passive transport using a channel or carrier protein. (still does not require energy)

Turgor Pressure - pressure of the water in a full vacuole of a plant cell against the cell wall.
21
Active Transport G Protein pump used to move particles from low to high concentration.

23
Transport of Large Particles G Endocytosis - process by which a cell surrounds and takes in material. (Requires ENERGY) G Exocytosis - the explusion or secretion of a material from a cell.
