Cellular Transport
Involves absorption and circulation
of materials
Cellular Transport

the movement of molecules into, around or
out of the cell
◦ absorption – materials ENTER the cell
◦ circulation – materials are moved throughout the
cell
◦ cyclosis – the circulation of the cytoplasm

held responsible on this Unit

Plasma Membrane

controls the movement of molecules into or
out of the cell
Proteins

Peripheral Proteins
PLEASE REVIEW
Specific Proteins
G-Protein Coupled Receptors: Passes 7
time back and forth through membrane


Found mainly in Eukaryotes including yeast and animal
cells.
Involved in many diseases, and are also the target of
approximately 40% of all modern medicinal drugs

Just FYI: ( no need to write )
Two American scientists: Robert Lefkowitz and Brian
Kobika won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2012 for
identifying the structure of the GPCR
Carbohydrates in Cell Membrane
function in a cell’s ability to distinguish
one type of neighboring cell from another
 CELL TO CELL RECOGNITION

This is the basis for rejection of foreign
cells by the immune system
Types of Cellular Transport
I. Passive Transport
Weeee!!

no cellular energy required

A. Diffusion
B. Facilitated Diffusion
C. Osmosis
low
1. Passive Transport:
ex: Diffusion

Move from HIGH to LOW concentration
◦ passive transport
◦ no energy needed


substances pass
through a
membrane without
the aid of transport
proteins

There is a net
movement of
molecules from areas
of high concentration
to areas of low
concentration
There is a net
movement of
molecules from areas
of high concentration
to areas of low
concentration
 Molecules move down
the concentration
gradient


The concentration gradient
Movement of a substance down
its concentration gradient
DOES NOT REQUIRE ENERGY

Diffusion stops once molecules are evenly
distributed – dynamic equilibrium

Molecules are still in constant motion, but
same number of molecules move in one
direction as in the opposite direction
How Diffusion Works
Molecules that are able to diffuse:
- non-polar molecules
- polar molecules small enough to fit
through membrane pores
Examples:
Oxygen – Non-polar so diffuses very quickly
Carbon dioxide – Polar but very small so diffuses quickly
Water – Polar but also very small so diffuses quickly
Molecules that are able to
diffuse:


Small Molecules CAN diffuse
Large Molecules CAN NOT diffuse
STARCH TOO BIG - GLUCOSE SMALL ENOUGH
PROTEIN TOO BIG - AMINO ACID SMALL ENOUGH
TRIGLYCERIDES TOO BIG - FATTY ACIDS and GLYCEROL SMALL
ENOUGH
B. Osmosis


Osmosis: diffusion of
water through a selectively
permeable membrane
Water moves from high to
low concentrations
Osmosis
animation
•Water moves freely
through pores.
•Solute (green) to large
to move across.
Key Terms

Hypertonic Solution:
A solution that has more solutes than
another solution to which it is compared

Hypotonic Solution:
A solution that has less solutes than another
solution to which it is compared

Isotonic Solution:
A solution that has the same amount of
solutes than another solution to which it is
compared
Osmotic Pressure
 The pressure which needs to be applied
to a solution to prevent the inward flow
of water across a semipermeable
membrane.

Solutions and a Cell
Hypotonic Solutions: have a lower concentration of
solutes and a higher concentration of water than
inside the cell
Result: water
moves from the
solution to inside
the cell): cell
swells and bursts
open (cytolysis)!

solutions
Solutions and a Cell
Hypertonic solutions: have a higher concentration of
solutes and a lower concentration of water than inside
the cell
Result: water moves
from inside the cell
into the solution:
cell shrinks
(Plasmolysis)!

Osmosis Animations for isotonic, hypertonic, and hypotonic solutions
Solutions and a Cell
Isotonic solutions: The concentration of solutes in the
solution is equal to the concentration of solutes inside
the cell.
Result: water moves
equally in both
directions and the cell
remains same size!

Osmoregulation

the control of the levels of water and
mineral salts in body fluids to maintain
homeostasis of the body's water content
Osmoregulation
the control of the levels of water and
mineral salts in body fluids to maintain
homeostasis of the body's water content
 it keeps the body's fluids from becoming
too dilute or too concentrated.

How do organisms function?


Bacteria and plants have cell walls that
prevent them from over-expanding. In
plants the pressure exerted on the cell wall
is called turgor pressure
osmosis in elodea cells


A protist like
paramecium has
contractile vacuoles
that collect water
flowing in and pump it
out to prevent them
from over-expanding.
contractile vacuoles
• Salt water fish pump salt out of their
specialized gills so they do not dehydrate.
• Animal cells are bathed in blood. Kidneys
keep the blood isotonic by removing
excess salt and water.
C. Facilitated Diffusion

diffusion of specific particles
through transport
proteins found in the
membrane
a. Transport Proteins are
specific – they “select” only
certain molecules to cross
the membrane

Active Transport

Used to transport large molecules
through a membrane or to move
molecules against the concentration
gradient (low→ high concentration)
Types of Active Transport
A.
Protein Pumps –
transport proteins that require
energy to do work
•Example: Sodium / Potassium
pumps are important in nerve
responses.
Types of Active Transport
Protein changes shape to move molecules: this
requires energy!

B. Endocytosis
Forming vacuoles to bring molecules into a cell
Energy needed!!!!!!!!!!
Phagocytosis:
“cellular eating”
pseudopods (false
limbs) are formed – the
particle is engulfed and
digested within a
lysosome
In phagocytosis the
cytoplasm is pushed
OUTWARD to form
pseudopods
 This is called
cytoplasmic
streaming

Lunch Time

Time to eat
Pinocytosis – “cell drinking”

In the process of
pinocytosis the
plasma membrane
“gulps” particles
dissolved in fluid by
forming tiny vesicles
Pinocytosis – “cell drinking”
In the process of
pinocytosis the plasma
membrane “gulps”
particles dissolved in
fluid by forming tiny
vesicles
 Nonspecific – all
solutes dissolved in
the droplet are taken
into the cell


In pinocytosis the cell
membrane is pulled by
the cytoskeleton in
toward the center of
the cell
C. Exocytosis
intracellular vesicle moves
to the plasma membrane
and fuses with it to spill
contents outside of cell
