Transcript Chapter 8. Movement across the Membrane
Cell Membrane and the
Movement across it!
AP Biology
2005-2006
Cell Membrane…more than just a barrier!
AP Biology
2005-2006
Cell (plasma) membrane
Cells need an inside & an outside…
separate cell from its environment
cell membrane is the boundary
Can it be an impenetrable boundary? NO!
OUT
IN
food
carbohydrates
sugars, proteins
amino acids
lipids
salts, O2, H2O
AP Biology
OUT
IN
waste
ammonia
salts
CO2
H2O
products
2005-2006
cell needs materials in & products or waste out
Lipids of cell membrane
Membrane is made of phospholipids
phospholipid bilayer
inside cell
phosphate
hydrophilic
lipid
hydrophobic
outside cell
AP Biology
Phospholipid bilayer
What molecules can get through directly?
inside cell
NH3
outside cell
AP Biology
lipid
salt
sugar aa
H 2O
fats & other lipids
can slip directly
through the
phospholipid cell
membrane, but…
what about other
stuff?
Membrane Proteins
Proteins determine most of membrane’s
specific functions
cell membrane & organelle membranes each
have unique collections of proteins
Membrane proteins:
AP Biology
peripheral proteins = loosely
bound to surface of membrane
integral proteins = penetrate into
lipid bilayer, often completely
spanning the membrane =
transmembrane proteins
2005-2006
Membrane Protein Types
Channel proteins – wide open passage
Ion channels – gated
Aquaporins – water only, kidney and
plant root only
Carrier proteins – change shape
Transport proteins – require ATP
Recognition proteins - glycoproteins
Adhesion proteins – anchors
Receptor proteins - hormones
AP Biology
A membrane is a collage of different proteins
embedded in the fluid matrix of the lipid bilayer
AP Biology
2005-2006
Membrane Carbohydrates
Play a key role in cell-cell recognition
ability of a cell to distinguish
neighboring cells from another
important in organ &
tissue development
basis for rejection of
foreign cells by
immune system
AP Biology
2005-2006
Cholesterol
Provides stability in animal cells
Replaced with sterols in plant cells
AP Biology
Getting through cell membrane
Passive transport
No energy needed
Movement down concentration gradient
Active transport
Movement against concentration gradient
low high
AP Biology
requires ATP
Diffusion
2nd Law of Thermodynamics
- Universe tends towards disorder
Diffusion
AP Biology
movement from high low concentration
Simple diffusion across membrane

Diffusion of 2 solutes
Each substance diffuses down its own
concentration gradient, independent of
concentration gradients of other
substances
AP Biology
Facilitated diffusion
Move from HIGH to LOW concentration
through a protein channel
passive transport
no energy needed
facilitated = with help
AP Biology
2005-2006
Gated channels
Some channel proteins open only in
presence of stimulus (signal)
stimulus usually different from
transported molecule
ex: ion-gated channels
when neurotransmitters bind to a specific
gated channels on a neuron, these channels
open = allows Na+ ions to enter nerve cell
ex: voltage-gated channels
change in electrical charge across nerve cell
membrane opens Na+ & K+ channels
AP Biology
2005-2006
Active transport
Cells may need molecules to move
against concentration situation
need to pump against concentration
protein pump
requires energy
ATP
Na+/K+ pump
in nerve cell
membranes

How about large molecules?
Moving large molecules into & out of cell
requires ATP!
through vesicles & vacuoles
endocytosis
phagocytosis = “cellular eating”
pinocytosis = “cellular drinking”

The Special Case of Water
Movement of water across
the cell membrane
AP Biology
2005-2006
Osmosis is diffusion of water
Diffusion of water from
high concentration of water to
low concentration of water
AP Biology
across a
semi-permeable
membrane
2005-2006
Concentration of water
Direction of osmosis is determined by
comparing total solute concentrations
Hypertonic - more solute, less water
Hypotonic - less solute, more water
Isotonic - equal solute, equal water
water
hypotonic
hypertonic
net movement of water
AP Biology
2005-2006
Managing water balance
Cell survival depends on balancing
water uptake & loss
AP Biology
freshwater
balanced
saltwater
2005-2006
Hypotonicity
animal cell in hypotonic
solution will gain water, swell
& possibly burst (cytolysis)
Paramecium vs. pond water
Paramecium is hypertonic
H2O continually enters cell
to solve problem, specialized
organelle, contractile vacuole
pumps H2O out of cell = ATP
plant cell
Turgid (turgor pressure)
Cell wall
AP Biology
Hypertonicity
animal cell in hypertonic
solution will loose water, shrivel
& probably die
salt water organisms are
hypotonic compared to their
environment
they have to take up water &
pump out salt
plant cells
plasmolysis = wilt
AP Biology

Cell (compared to beaker) hypertonic or hypotonic
Beaker (compared to cell) hypertonic or hypotonic
Which way does the water flow? in or out2005-2006

AP Biology
Water Potential
Water moves from a place of greater
water potential to a place of lesser
water potential (net).
As the concentration of a solute
increases in a solution, the water
potential will decrease accordingly.
Which has the greater water potential:
Which has the greater water potential:
AP Biology
.2M or .8M?
20% or 80% water?
