The Plasma Membrane -
Gateway to the Cell

1
Cell Membrane
The cell
membrane is
flexible and
allows a
unicellular
organism to
move
copyright cmassengale
2
Semipermeable Membrane
Small molecules and larger hydrophobic
molecules move through easily.
e.g. O2, CO2, H2O
copyright cmassengale
3
Semipermeable Membrane
Ions, hydrophilic molecules larger than
water, and large molecules such as proteins
do not move through the membrane on their
own.

4
Concentration Gradient
• A difference in the concentration of
a substance across a space.
copyright cmassengale
5
Homeostasis
• Balanced internal condition of
cells
• Also called equilibrium
• Maintained by plasma membrane
controlling what enters & leaves
the cell

Types of Transport
Across Cell
Membranes
copyright cmassengale
7
Three Forms of Transport Across the Membrane
copyright cmassengale
8
Simple Diffusion
• Requires NO
energy
• Molecules
move from
area of HIGH
to LOW
concentration
copyright cmassengale
9
DIFFUSION
Diffusion PASSIVE process
which means no
energy is used to
make the
molecules move.
copyright cmassengale
10
Passive Transport
Diffusion
 Doesn’t require energy
 Moves high to low
concentration
Example: Oxygen or
water diffusing into a
cell and carbon dioxide
diffusing out.

Diffusion through a
Membrane
Cell membrane
Solute moves DOWN concentration gradient (HIGH to

LOW)
Osmosis
• Diffusion of water
across a
membrane
• Moves from HIGH
water potential
(low solute) to
LOW water
potential (high
solute)

Diffusion of H2O Across A
Membrane
High H2O potential
Low H2O potential
Low solute concentration

Aquaporins
• Water Channels
• Protein pores used during

Water Movement
1. Isotonic – Fluid outside the cell has the
same concentration of particles as the
cytoplasm.
No net water movement.
2. Hypotonic – Fluid outside the cell has a
lower concentration of particles than the
cytoplasm.
Water diffuses into the cell.
3. Hypertonic – The fluid outside of the cell
has a higher concentration of particles
than the cytoplasm. Water diffuses out of

Passive Transport
Facilitated diffusion
Doesn’t require energy
Uses transport
proteins to move high to
low concentration
Examples: Glucose or
amino acids moving from
blood into a cell.

Proteins Are Critical to
Membrane Function
copyright cmassengale
26
Types of Transport Proteins
1. Ion Channel
2. Carrier Proteins
copyright cmassengale
27
Types of Transport Proteins
1. Ion Channels are embedded in
the cell membrane & have a
pore for materials to cross
http://bcs.whfreeman.com/thelifewire/content/chp05/0502001.html
copyright cmassengale
28
Facilitated Diffusion
Molecules will randomly move through
the pores in Ion Channel.
copyright cmassengale
29
Types of Transport Proteins
2. Carrier proteins can change shape
to move material from one side of
the membrane to the other
http://bcs.whfreeman.com/thelifewire/content/chp05/0502001.html
copyright cmassengale
30
Facilitated Diffusion
• Some Carrier
proteins do not
extend through
the membrane.
• They bond and
drag molecules
through the lipid
bilayer and
release them on
the opposite side.
copyright cmassengale
31
Carrier Proteins
• Other carrier
proteins
change shape
to move
materials
across the cell
membrane
copyright cmassengale
32
Active Transport
Requires energy or
ATP
Moves materials from
LOW to HIGH
concentration
AGAINST
concentration gradient
copyright cmassengale
33
Active transport
Examples: Pumping
3 Na+ (sodium
ions) out and 2 K+
(potassium ions) in
against strong
concentration
gradients.
Called Na+-K+ Pump

Moving the “Big Stuff”
Exocytosis
- moving
things
out.
Molecules are moved out of the cell by vesicles that fuse
with the plasma membrane.
This is how many hormones
are secreted and how nerve
copyright cmassengale
35
cells communicate with one another.
Exocytosis
Exocytic
vesicle
immediately
after fusion
with plasma
membrane.

36
Moving the “Big Stuff”
Large molecules move materials into the cell by
one of three forms of endocytosis.
copyright cmassengale
37
1. Pinocytosis
Most common form of endocytosis.
Takes in dissolved
molecules
as a vesicle
copyright
cmassengale
38 .
Pinocytosis
• Cell forms an
invagination
• Materials
dissolve in
water to be
brought into cell
• Called “Cell
Drinking”
copyright cmassengale

Example of Pinocytosis

2. Receptor-Mediated
Endocytosis
Some integral proteins have receptors
on their surface to recognize & take in
hormones, cholesterol,
etc.

3. Phagocytosis
Used to engulf large particles such as
food, bacteria, etc. into vesicles
Called “Cell Eating”

Exocytosis
The opposite of endocytosis is exocytosis. Large
molecules that are manufactured in the cell are
released through the cell membrane.
