1 Membrane Function

2 Passive Transport Concentration Gradient Concentration Gradient  A difference in concentrations across the plasma membrane

3 Simple Diffusion Particles diffuse through phospholipid bilayer Particles diffuse through phospholipid bilayer

4 Facilitated Diffusion Translocating (Carrier) Proteins Translocating (Carrier) Proteins  Bind particle  Change shape  Force through membrane

5 Facilitated Diffusion Channel Proteins Channel Proteins  Passage through proteins  Gated - open in response to stimulus Membrane proteins exhibit… Membrane proteins exhibit…  Specificity  Saturation  Inhibition

6 Osmosis Diffusion and fac. diffusion of water Diffusion and fac. diffusion of water

7 Osmosis Continues until equilibrium reached Continues until equilibrium reached OR until another force resists osmosis OR until another force resists osmosis  p = Pressure Potential  s = Solute Potential

8 Osmosis Water Potential (  ) Water Potential (  )  Water moves from high  to low   Depends on  s and  p   s = - i C R T Solution  s at 20C Pure Water 1.0M Sucrose 0.2M NaCl Ionization constant (units/molecule) Molar Conc.

11 Active Transport Membrane proteins use ATP to increase conc gradient Membrane proteins use ATP to increase conc gradient

12 Active Transport Sodium-Potassium Pump Sodium-Potassium Pump

13 Electrochemical Gradient Difference in charges and concentrations across a membrane Difference in charges and concentrations across a membrane Produced by electrogenic pumps Produced by electrogenic pumps Serves as potential energy that can be tapped later Serves as potential energy that can be tapped later

14 Exocytosis & Endocytosis

15 Transport Review 1. What types of particles have the toughest time getting through a phospholipid bilayer? 2. What similarities exist between transport proteins and enzymes? 3. What’s the difference between carrier proteins and channel proteins? 4. A certain membrane is impermeable to ions and can withstand 2 bars of pressure before rupture. At 27 o C, how high can the salt concentration be inside the cell before rupturing in a distilled water environment?
