Moving Through the Plasma Membrane

Let’s Review

What does a phospholipid look like?

Polar head/ hydrophilic

Nonpolar head/ hydrophilic

Plasma Membrane:The Fluid Mosaic Model

• Fluid because–the phospholipid and protein

molecules are able to move around. Not stuck in one place.

• Mosaic because– the membrane contains a variety

of proteins embedded with the phospholipids.

How do particles move in and out of the cell?

Permeability of a membranePermeability of a membrane

• Permeable: anything can pass through

• Semi-permeable: some things can pass through

• Impermeable: nothing can pass through

• The plasma membrane is described as semi-permeable because some substances can move through it:–Small and–Non-polar

Passive Transport• No additional _______________ is

required because every particle has its own energy

• This energy produces ________________ movement in particles. (a.k.a Brownian motion)

Diffusion• Diffusion is the movement of

substances from a ________ concentration to a low concentration.

• Diffusion is caused by ______________________

• Concentration is the _________ of something in a given ______.

Osmosis in Action• What happens when you sprinkle

salt on a slug?• If you are stranded at sea and run

out of water, should you drink sea water?

** Water moves from a hypo to a hypertonic environment.

True or False1. In diffusion, particles move from an

area of high to low concentration.

2. Diffusion does not require any additional energy to occur.

3. Small, charged or polar particles can move through the cell membrane by simple diffusion.

What if a cell needs large or charged/ polar molecules. Can they move across the membrane?

Yes!

Selectively Permeable MembraneSelectively Permeable Membrane

• The cell membrane “picks” what molecules can enter and exit the cell because proteins in the membrane allow specific macromolecules or ions in or out of the cell.

Facilitated diffusion• Proteins help particles move

across the membrane• Transport proteins span the

phospholipid bilayer, but allow only ___________ molecules through. >> Selectivity

specific

Types of transport proteins• ____ __________ are non–polar on the

outside and polar on the inside. They provide a pore for ions and polar particles to move through.

Ion channels

• _________ _______________ bind to specific particles, carry them through the membrane, and release them on the other side.

Carrier Proteins

Remember!

• In diffusion-particles (solutes) move from an area of HIGH concentration to LOW In osmosis- water moves from a HYPOTONIC environment to a HYPERTONIC environment

• Diffusion requires NO energy input• http://scienceguyinatie.blogspot.com/2008/11/cell-membrane-animation-of-word-wall.html

Simple vs. Facilitated• In simple diffusion, particles move

between phospholipid molecules of the membrane.

• In facilitated diffusion, particles move through transport proteins in the membrane.

• Both do NOT use energy. Particles must move down the concentration gradient.

But what if you needed to move particles against their concentration gradient?

Active Transport

• Transport proteins use ________to move particles against their concentration gradient, from a low concentration to a high concentration.

energy

Sodium-Potassium Pump:

• Carrier- protein that pumps 3

sodium ions (Na+)________

the cell, while pumping 2

potassium ions (K+)________.

http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0072495855/student_view0/chapter2/animation__how_the_sodium_potassium_pump_works.html

1. 3 Na+ ions from inside the cell bind to the pump protein. Energy from ATP is added to the protein.

2. The Na+ ions are moved to the outside of the cell.

3. The 3 Na+ ions are released and 2 K+

ions bind to the protein.

4. The protein changes back and releases the 2 K+ ions into the cell.

Pinocytosis• “cell drinking”• Cell engulfs small droplets of surrounding

fluid.
