The document discusses the structure and functions of the cell membrane, highlighting its role in regulating the movement of substances in and out of the cell. It details various types of transport mechanisms, including passive transport (simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion) and active transport (exocytosis and endocytosis). Additionally, it explains the significance of proteins in membrane function and the effects of different solutions on cells.

CELL MEMBRANE

07/08/2020

FUNCTION OF THE CELL MEMBRANE


1. Delimits the cell from its surroundings.
2. Controls what gets in and out of the cell.
3. Provides attachment for the skeleton of the cell.
4. Receives and sends out stimuli.
5. Provides binding sites and receptors for enzymes and other
substances.
6. Allows cell-to-cell recognition.
7. Forms specialized junctions with cell membrane of adjacent cells

PROTEINS ARE CRUCIAL TO MEMBRANE FUNCTION

TYPES OF TRANSPORT
Active Passive

• Goes against the • Goes with the
concentration gradient concentration gradient

SIMPLE DIFFUSION
• Diffusion is the random movement of
molecules from an area of high
concentration to low concentration
• Requires NO energy

MOLECULES THAT DIFFUSE THROUGH CELL


MEMBRANES
1. Oxygen – Non-polar so
diffuses very quickly.
2. Carbon dioxide – Polar but
very small so diffuses quickly.
3. Water – Polar but also very
small so diffuses quickly.

OSMOSIS
• Osmosis is the diffusion of water
across a membrane
Moves from HIGH water concentration
to LOW water concentration

DIFFUSION ACROSS A MEMBRANE

High water concentration Low water concentration


Low solute concentration High solute concentration

CELLS IN SOLUTIONS
Isotonic
A solution whose solute concentration is the
same as the solute concentration inside the cell.
Hypotonic
A solution whose solute concentration is lower
than the solute concentration inside a cell
Hypertonic
A solution whose solute concentration is higher
than the solute concentration inside a cell.

FACILITATED DIFFUSION
• Does not require energy
• Uses transport proteins to
move high to low concentration
• Molecules will randomly move
through the pores in Channel
Proteins.
• Examples: Glucose or amino acids
moving from blood into a cell.

TYPES OF TRANSPORT PROTEINS


Channel proteins are
embedded in the cell
membrane & have a pore for
materials to cross
Carrier proteins can change
shape to move material from
one side of the membrane to
the other

ACTIVE TRANSPORT
 Requires energy or ATP
 Moves materials from LOW to
HIGH concentration
 AGAINST concentration gradient
 Example: Sodium-Potassium Pump.

ACTIVE TRANSPORT--EXOCYTOSIS

Molecules are moved out of the cell by vesicles that fuse the with
the plasma membrane.
This is how many hormones are secreted and how nerve cells
communicate with each other.

ACTIVE TRANSPORT--ENDOCYTOSIS
Large molecules move
materials into the cell by one
of three forms of endocytosis.
Pinocytosis
Receptor-mediated endocytosis
Phagocytosis
