Muscle Contractions
Actin filaments are interdispersed with
thicker filaments called myosin.

protein that “walks” along the actin filament
 Important in cell division
 Cause contractions that pinch in plasma
membrane and form the cleavage furrow
during cell division

Movement of molecules across
the cell membrane.
89

Carbs (mono’s)
 Oxygen
 Water
 Proteins
 Carbon dioxide
 Ions

90
What molecules can move across
the membrane?


Nonpolar molecules - hydrocarbons, CO2 and O2
because they’re hydrophobic can cross easily.
Hydrophilic molecules will pass slowly and use
transport proteins – glucose, charged ions and
water
91
DIFFUSION
Movement of molecules from high
concentration to low concentration. (This is
called a concentration gradient.)
 Diffusion continues until molecules reach
equilibrium

92
Changing the rate of diffusion

stirring, or increased temp
 Pressure
 Steepness of gradient

TERMS
97
HYPEROSMOTIC
Also called hypertonic
 Refers to the solution with a greater solute
concentration (sugar)

98
HYPOOSMOTIC
Also called hypotonic
 Refers to the solution with lesser solute

99
Isoosmotic
Also called isotonic
 When solutions are at equilibrium
 Does water move from hyper to hypo or
hypo to hyper?

101
Two basic methods of
molecular transport.
1.
2.
Passive Transport
Active Transport
102
Passive Transport
Molecular movement down a gradient
(from high to low naturally by diffusion)
 No cellular energy required (potential
energy of the gradient is enough)
 Two types
 Simple diffusion through pores
 Facilitated diffusion

103
Facilitated diffusion (helper)
Uses integral proteins in membrane
 Proteins are very specific like enzymes
 Catalyze a physical process—transport of a
molecule like glucose & other polar
molecules ions (i.e. aquaporins)

104
Protein may change shape as it binds with
molecule - translocating binding site to
other side of protein
 Molecule being transported itself doesn’t
change shape

Water potential equation




 = s + p
 - water potential – the ability of water to move
out (unit is megapascals MPa)
- pure water has a  = 0
s – solute potential – how solute affects the water
potential
- addition of solute – lowers the water potential
(more solute – more negative)
p - pressure potential – is 0 in an animal cell
136
137
138
Apoplast – through cell wall
Symplast - through cytoplasm
