1 Plasma Membrane & Cellular Transport http://www.i-sup2008.org/images/venue_transport.jpg

2 Cell Transport A cell has to move food and wastes into and out of the cell. Materials must move through the plasma membrane which maintains homeostasis in the cell. food waste food waste

3 Cell Transport The Plasma Membrane surrounds the cell. How does it work?

4 Plasma Membrane Boundary between the cell and its environment 1.Allows nutrients into the cell 2.Removes wastes and excess materials 3.Maintains homeostasis: a stable internal environment

5 Plasma Membrane How does it work? 1.Selectively permeable: only allows some molecules in the cell, keeps others out http://media3.washingtonpost.com/wp- dyn/content/photo/2006/10/15/PH2006101500491.jpg

6 Plasma Membrane 2. Fluid Mosaic Model: membrane is flexible, made of many pieces working together http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=Qqsf_UJcfBc Molecules are able to move around within each layer of the membrane. Fluid Molecules moving around on surface create different patterns. Mosaic

7 Plasma Membrane 3. Phospholipid Bilayer: membrane is 2 layers, made of phospholipids with proteins mixed in http://www.utm.utoronto.ca/~w3bio315/lecture2.htm

8 Plasma Membrane Parts Phosphate heads – hydrophilic (like water), outside and inside membrane Fatty Acid Tails – hydrophobic (fear water), inside membrane, like OREO cream Cholesterol – prevents fats from sticking together, stabilize membrane Transport proteins – move molecules into and out of cell Identification proteins – outside cell, “nametag” Support proteins – inside cell for framework, “skeleton” Carbohydrates – serve as markers or “nametags”

9 1. Diffusion - molecules move from an area of high concentration to low concentration http://iweb.tntech.edu/mcaprio/diffusion-animated.gif NO ENERGY required, moves molecules from high concentration to low concentration Passive Transport

10 http://schools.moe.edu.sg/chijsjc/Biology/Diffusion&osmosis/osmosis.gif 2. Osmosis – diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane Passive Transport – no energy required

11 Solutions Isotonic solution – equal concentrations of solute (salt) inside and outside cell http://www.biologycorner.com/resources/isotonic.gif

12 Solutions Hypotonic solution – less solute in solution, more solute in cell, WATER FOLLOWS SALT, cells swell http://www.biologycorner.com/resources/hypotonic.gif

13 Solutions Hypertonic solution – more solute in solution, less solute in cell, WATER FOLLOWS SALT, cells shrink http://www.biologycorner.com/resources/hypertonic.gif

14 Osmosis in blood cells http://aryatiabdul.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/osmosis2.gif

15 Solutions – how transport affects animals and plants http://kentsimmons.uwinnipeg.ca/cm1504/Image130.gif

16 Transport in Plants Healthy plant cells are crisp due to TURGOR PRESSURE Wilted plant cells are flaccid due to lack of water

17 Passive Transport – no energy required 3. Facilitated Diffusion – movement of molecules from high concentration to low concentration with help of membrane transport proteins http://www.biology.arizona.edu/CELL_BIO/problem_sets/membranes/graphics/CHANNEL.GIF High concentration Low concentration

18 Active Transport Requires energy Moves molecules against concentration gradient Moves molecules from area of low concentration to area of high concentration Examples: gated channels, sodium/potassium pumps, endocytosis, exocytosis

19 Active Transport Endocytosis and Exocytosis http://media-2.web.britannica.com/eb-media/38/8038-004-A29C9C02.jpg
