STANDARD

Students will analyze the nature of relationships
between structures and functions in living cells.
Explain the role of cell organelles for both prokaryotic and
eukaryotic cells, including the cell membrane, in
maintaining homeostasis.
 Explain the impact of water on life processes.

HOMEOSTASIS
“Homeo” – similar; the same
 “Stasis” – stable
 Homeostasis is the balanced internal condition of cells
 Also called equilibrium
 Example: body temperature

CELL MEMBRANE
The protective boundary that separates the cell from its
environment.
 Made up of phospholipids in a double layer


Phospholipid bilayer
phosphate
inside cell
lipid
outside cell
PHOSPHOLIPIDS
Contain 2 fatty acid chains
(Made of C, H, and O) and a
phosphate group
 The head is polar and
hydrophilic (water loving)
 The tails are nonpolar and
hydrophobic (water fearing)

CELL MEMBRANE

Semi-permeable and Selectively permeable
Needs to allow some materials but not all to pass through
the membrane
 Controls what gets in or out; the membrane is selective

CELL MEMBRANE

Fluid Mosaic Model
Fluid because individual phospholipids and proteins can
move side-to-side within the layer, like it is a liquid
 Mosaic because of the pattern produced by the scattered
protein molecules when the membrane is viewed from above

CELL MEMBRANE

Accessory Proteins

Transport proteins allow passage of hydrophilic substances
across the membrane
Channel proteins are a type of transport protein that have a channel
through which certain molecules or ions can pass
 Carrier proteins are a type of transport protein that binds to molecules
and changes shape to carry them across the membrane

CHANNEL PROTEIN
CARRIER PROTEIN
CELL TRANSPORT

Two Types:
Passive Transport – does not require energy
 Active Transport – requires energy

CELL TRANSPORT

Passive transport
The cell uses no energy
 Materials move from high concentration to low concentration
 3 types

Diffusion
 Facilitated diffusion
 Osmosis

DIFFUSION
Does not require energy on the
part of the cell.
 Movement of particles from an
area of high concentration to low
concentration
 Continues until all molecules are
evenly spaced
 Example: oxygen diffusing into a
cell and carbon dioxide diffusing
out

FACILITATED DIFFUSION
Does not require
energy on the part of
the cell.
 Uses transport
proteins to move from
areas of high
concentration to low
concentration
 Examples: glucose or
amino acids moving
from blood into a cell

OSMOSIS
Requires no energy on the part of the cell
 Diffusion of water and ONLY water
 Moves from high concentration to low concentration

OSMOSIS
Water is very important to life!
 Cell survival depends on balancing water uptake and
water loss. But the cell doesn’t control water movement
through the cell membrane.
 Three different solutions cells may be exposed to:

Hypotonic
 Hypertonic
 Isotonic

HYPOTONIC SOLUTION
hypo – Swells, envision
the cell as an expanding
“o”
The solution has a higher concentration of water and a
lower concentration of solute than inside the cell.
 Water moves from the solution to the inside of the cell.
The cell swells and may eventually burst.

HYPERTONIC SOLUTION
hyper – shrinks; “r” in
hyper, “r” in shrink
The solution has a lower concentration of water and a
higher concentration of solute than inside the cell.
 Water moves from inside the cell into the solution. The
cell shrinks

ISOTONIC SOLUTION
iso – equal, no change in
the cell’s size
The concentration of water and solutes in the solution is
equal to the concentration inside the cell.
 Water moves equally in both directions and the cell
remains the same size.

CELL TRANSPORT

Active Transport
The cell uses energy
 Actively moves molecules to where they are needed
 Movement from an area of low concentration to an area of
high concentration – this is hard, requires work!


3 types:



Ion pumps
Endocytosis
Exocytosis
ION PUMP
Requires energy
 Molecules move through a
transport protein from low
concentration to high concentration
 Example: the Sodium-Potassium
pump pumps NA+ ions out and K+
in. This pump is very important in
nerve cells to help respond to
stimuli and transport impulses

ENDOCYTOSIS
Requires energy on the part of the cell.
 Endo – enter; taking bulky materials into a cell.
 Phagocytosis – “cell eating”

Forms food vacuole and digests food
 This is how white blood cells eat bacteria

EXOCYTOSIS
Requires energy on the part of the cell.
 Molecules are moved out of the cell by vesicles that fuse
with the plasma membrane
 Exo = exit; forces material out of the cell


Examples: hormones or wastes released from cell
