1. MOVEMENT THROUGH THE MEMBRANE Section 7-3

2. The cell membrane Function : Regulates what enters and leaves the cell. Provides protection and support Selective permeability Some substances can pass across the cell membrane and others can’t

3. Structure Phospholipid Bilayer (Fluid Mosaic Model): a double-layer sheet that makes up nearly all membranes.

4. Components of the lipid bilayer Polar Head –Phosphorous group –Hydrophilic “Water Loving” Lipid Tails –Hydrophobic “Water Fearing” - Fatty acid tails

5. Why is the lipid bilayer important? Tough, flexible structure Strong barrier between the cell and its environment

6. What does it do for the cell? Allows only certain materials in or out at certain times. –Ions –Glucose –Water –Electrolytes –Oxygen

8. Cells live in fluid environments, with water inside and outside the cell. Components of plasma membrane: –2 layers of phospholipids Polar head and nonpolar tail –Integral proteins –Peripheral proteins –Cholesterol –Carbohydrates

9. Proteins: Peripheral proteins On inside surface Held in place by cytoskeletal filaments Integral proteins Embedded in membrane, can move laterally

10. Functions of membrane proteins Some help to transport materials across the membrane. Channel Protein – allows certain molecules or ions to cross membrane freely Protein pumps – interact with certain molecule or ions to help move it across membrane, requires energy

11. Cholesterol - strengthens the plasma membrane. Carbohydrates: Glycoproteins – proteins with carbohydrates attached Glycolipids – phospholipids with carbohydrates attached

12. Other Membrane Structures Carbohydrate molecules –Act like ID markers for the cell –Basis for blood typing: the antigens on the blood cells (A, B, AB) are carbohydrate chains

13. Cell recognition protein Foreign carbohydrate chains are why transplanted tissue is often rejected by the body

14. Diffusion Definition: The movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, until an equilibrium is reached. Concentration? Mass of Solute/Volume of solution (g/L) Equilibrium? Animation

15. What causes diffusion? Diffusion is caused by the constant movement and collision of molecules. More molecules = More collision The collisions cause the molecules to spread out.

16. Examples of Diffusion Air Fresheners PerfumeFarts

17. Diffusion in Cells Molecules are able to diffuse through the cell membrane and allow the cell to function. Facilitated Diffusion – some molecules need help from protein channels to cross the cell membrane. Animation

18. Osmosis (A special kind of diffusion) Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane. Selectively Permeable - Osmosis

19. Osmosis Isotonic – concentration is the same on both sides of the membrane (equilibrium) Hypertonic – the solution with a greater concentration Hypotonic – the solution with the lesser concentration.

20. Osmosis Practice The cytoplasm of Elodea cells is composed of about 70% water molecules and 30% other kinds of molecules. What happens when the Elodea cells are put into a liquid that is a. 50 percent water. b. 70 percent water. c. 100 percent water.

21. Moving down a concentration gradient is like riding a bike down a hill. It doesn’t require energy Osmosis and diffusion are examples of passive transport! Moving up a concentration gradient is like riding up a hill. IT REQUIRES ENERGY.

22. Active Transport Active Transport: is the movement of materials through a cell membrane using energy. Molecules move from low concentration to high concentration. Proteins use ATP to pump ions and small molecules against concentration gradient.

23. Types of Active Transport 1.Endocytosis – the process of taking material into the cell by means of infoldings of the cell membrane. –Phagocytosis – extension of the cytoplasm surround and engulf the particle –Pinocytosis – similar to phagocytosis, but cells take up liquid instead of particles.

24. Types of Active Transport 2. Exocytosis –Large molecules move from inside the cell to outside the cell. –Contractile Vacoule – an organelle that constantly pumps H2O out of the cell. Animation

25. Specialized Cells Cells with a specific structure and function and are found in multi-celled organisms. We have blood cells, brain cells, bone cells, liver cell, skin cells, etc.

26. We are all made of cells Cells Tissues Organs Organ System

27. Tissue Definition: A group of similar cells working together. Examples

28. Organs Definition: A groups of tissues working together to perform a specific job.

29. Organ Systems Definition: Many organs working together to do a specific job.
