Cellular Transport Indicator B-2.5: Explain how active, passive, and facilitated transports serve to maintain the homeostasis of the cell.

Key Concepts Homeostasis Passive Transport Active Transport

It is essential for you to know… Materials needed for cellular processes must pass into cells so they can be utilized. Waste materials from cellular processes must pass out of cells as they are produced. The cell membrane regulates the passage of material into and out of the cell. Each individual cell exists in a fluid environment, and the cytoplasm within the cell also has a fluid environment. A cell membrane is semipermeable. Materials can enter or exit through the cell membrane by passive or active transport.

OBJECTIVES Identify the main functions of the cell membrane. Describe what happens during diffusion. Explain the processes of osmosis, facilitated diffusion, and active transport.

TEM picture of a real cell membrane. Cell Membranes All cells have a cell membrane Functions: Controls (regulates) what enters and exits the cell to maintain an internal balance called homeostasis Provides protection and support for the cell TEM picture of a real cell membrane.

Cell Membranes 4. Cell membranes have pores (holes) in it Selectively permeable: Allows some molecules in and keeps other molecules out Sometimes referred to as semi-permeable The structure helps it be selective! Pores

Fluid Mosaic Model of the cell membrane Polar heads love water & dissolve. Each individual cell exists in a fluid environment and the cytoplasm within the cell also has a fluid environment. The presence of a liquid makes it possible for substances (oxygen, nutrients, and waste products) to move in and out of the cell. Non-polar tails hide from water. Carbohydrate cell markers Proteins

Types of Cellular Transport high low Weeee!!! Passive Transport cell does not use energy (ATP) Diffusion Facilitated Diffusion Osmosis Active Transport cell uses energy (ATP) Protein Pumps Endocytosis Exocytosis high low This is gonna be hard work!!

Passive Transport (High  Low) cell uses no energy (ATP) molecules move randomly Molecules spread out from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. (NOTE: A concentration gradient is a difference in concentrations across a plasma membrane) (High  Low)

3 Types of Passive Transport Diffusion Facilitated Diffusion – diffusion with the help of transport proteins Osmosis – diffusion of water

Passive Transport: 1. Diffusion Diffusion: random movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. (High to Low) Diffusion continues until all molecules are evenly spaced (equilibrium is reached)-Note: molecules will still move around but stay spread out. http://bio.winona.edu/berg/Free.htm

Facilitated diffusion (Channel Protein) Diffusion (Lipid Bilayer) Passive Transport: 2. Facilitated Diffusion A B 2. Facilitated diffusion: diffusion of specific particles through transport proteins found in the membrane Transport Proteins are specific – they “select” only certain molecules to cross the membrane Transports larger or charged molecules Facilitated diffusion (Channel Protein) Diffusion (Lipid Bilayer) Carrier Protein http://bio.winona.edu/berg/Free.htm

Passive Transport: 3. Osmosis 3.Osmosis: diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane Water moves from high to low concentrations Water moves freely through pores. Solute (green) to large to move across.

Active Transport (Low  High) cell uses energy (ATP) actively moves molecules to where they are needed Movement from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration (Low  High)

Types of Active Transport 1. Protein Pumps -transport proteins that require energy to do work Example: Sodium / Potassium Pumps are important in nerve responses. Protein changes shape to move molecules: this requires energy!

Types of Active Transport 2. Endocytosis: taking bulky material into a cell Uses energy Cell membrane in-folds around food particle “cell eating” forms food vacuole & digests food This is how white blood cells eat bacteria!

Types of Active Transport 3. Exocytosis: Forces material out of cell in bulk membrane surrounding the material fuses with cell membrane Cell changes shape – requires energy EX: Hormones or wastes released from cell

Effects of Osmosis on Life Osmosis- diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane Water is so small and there is so much of it the cell can’t control its movement through the cell membrane.

Osmosis Diffusion of water through a semi-permeable membrane Semi-permeable: permeable to solvents (WATER), but not to large molecules High [water] to low [water] Dissolved molecules (i.e. glucose, starch) are called solutes REMEMBER: Water = solvent Glucose, Starch = solutes

Effect of Water on Cells Hypertonic Environment High [solute], low [water] Hypotonic Environment High [water], low [solute] Isotonic Environment [water] = [solute] Hypertonic Hypotonic Isotonic
