1
Cell Membrane and the Movement across it!
2
Cell Membrane…more than just a barrier!
The carbohydrates are not inserted into the membrane -- they are too hydrophilic for that. They are attached to embedded proteins -- glycoproteins.
3
Cell (plasma) membrane
______________________________ separate cell from its environment ____________________________ Can it be an impenetrable boundary? NO! OUT waste ammonia salts CO2 H2O products IN food carbohydrates sugars, proteins amino acids lipids salts, O2, H2O OUT IN cell needs materials in & products or waste out
4
Lipids of cell membrane
Membrane is made of phospholipids _______________________ phosphate hydrophilic inside cell outside cell lipid hydrophobic
5
Phospholipid bilayer What molecules can get through directly?
____________________________________________________________________________________ what about other stuff? lipid inside cell outside cell salt NH3 sugar aa H2O
6
Membrane Proteins Proteins determine most of membrane’s specific functions ________________________________________________________________________________ Membrane proteins: peripheral proteins = loosely bound to surface of membrane integral proteins = ____________________________________________________________= transmembrane proteins Integral – enzyme activity, intercellular joining, Peripheral – protein hormones
7
Membrane Protein Types
Channel proteins – wide open passage Ion channels – _____________ Aquaporins – _______________________________________________ Carrier proteins – _______________ Transport proteins – _______________ Recognition proteins - glycoproteins Adhesion proteins – _______________ Receptor proteins - hormones
8
A membrane is a collage of different proteins embedded in the fluid matrix of the lipid bilayer
The carbohydrates are not inserted into the membrane -- they are too hydrophilic for that. They are attached to embedded proteins -- glycoproteins.
9
Membrane Carbohydrates
Play a key role in cell-cell recognition ___________________________________________________________________ important in organ & tissue development basis for rejection of foreign cells by immune system The four human blood groups (A, B, AB, and O) differ in the external carbohydrates on red blood cells.
10
Cholesterol Provides stability in animal cells
______________________________
11
Getting through cell membrane
Passive transport No energy needed _____________________________________ Active transport Movement against concentration gradient low high _________________________
12
Diffusion 2nd Law of Thermodynamics - ______________________________
Organization tends to disorder. Molecules move to disarray. Diffusion movement from high low concentration
13
Simple diffusion across membrane
Which way will lipid move? lipid lipid lipid inside cell lipid lipid lipid low high lipid outside cell lipid lipid lipid lipid lipid lipid lipid
14
Diffusion of 2 solutes ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Things tend to get mixed up evenly.
15
Facilitated diffusion
Move from HIGH to LOW concentration through a protein channel ______________________ facilitated = with help
16
Gated channels Some channel proteins open only in presence of stimulus (signal) ______________________________________________________________________ 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 When the neurotransmitters are not present, the channels are closed.
17
Na+/K+ pump in nerve cell membranes
Active transport Cells may need molecules to move against concentration situation ________________________________ protein pump ________________ ATP Plants have nitrate & phosphate pumps in their roots. Why? Nitrate for amino acids Phosphate for DNA & membranes Not coincidentally these are the main constituents of fertilizer. Na+/K+ pump in nerve cell membranes
18
Transport summary
19
How about large molecules?
Moving large molecules into & out of cell requires ATP! through vesicles & vacuoles ________________ phagocytosis = “cellular eating” pinocytosis = “cellular drinking” receptor-mediated endocytosis exocytosis exocytosis
20
receptor-mediated endocytosis
fuse with lysosome for digestion phagocytosis non-specific process pinocytosis triggered by ligand signal receptor-mediated endocytosis
21
The Special Case of Water Movement of water across the cell membrane
22
Osmosis is diffusion of water
Diffusion of water from high concentration of water to low concentration of water ____________________________________________________________________________________
23
Concentration of water
Direction of osmosis is determined by comparing total solute concentrations Hypertonic - ____________________ Hypotonic - less solute, more water Isotonic - _____________________ hypotonic hypertonic water net movement of water
24
Managing water balance
____________________________________________________________________ freshwater balanced saltwater
25
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 ________________________ Cell wall
26
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 _______________________
27
Osmosis… .05 M .03 M Cell (compared to beaker) hypertonic or hypotonic Beaker (compared to cell) hypertonic or hypotonic Which way does the water flow? in or out of cell
28
Water Potential ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As the concentration of a solute increases in a solution, the water potential will decrease accordingly. Which has the greater water potential: .2M or .8M? 20% or 80% water?
