1
Cell Membrane and Cell Transport
2
Molecular Structure of the Cell Membrane
3
Phospholipid Molecule Hydrophillic head (water loving) Hydrophobic tail (water hating)
4
Profile: Plasma Membrane
6
Factors Affecting Permeability 1. Molecular size of particles 2. Electrical charge of particles 3. Solubility of substance in water molecules
7
Molecular size The cell membrane is generally permeable to small molecules: i. carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) ii. water (H 2 O) iii. glucose (C 6 H 12 O 6 )
8
2. Electrical Charge Electrical charge on the atom or molecule affects the movement of particles. Positive Negative Na + Cl -
9
Solubility of substance in water Refer to Chemistry Periodic Table for Solubility of various monatomic and polyatomic atoms/molecules
10
DIFFUSION - Conditions for the movement of particles Concentration of solutes (i.e. sugar) is either HIGHER or LOWER.
24
