Regulates passage of materials into and out of cell
Cell membrane
How thick is the cell membrane
7-9 nanometers thick
What is a cell membrane composed of
Phospholipid bilayer
Where are glycolipids usually found on the cell membrane
Outer surface
Glycoprotein -------> _____ & ____
Carbs and proteins
Proteins within the membrane are called ____
Integral proteins
Proteins on the cytoplasmic side are called ________
Peripheral proteins
Replaced Davson - Danielli's "Sandwich Model" of the cell membrane
Fluid Mosaic Model
No energy needed; movement of materials across the cell membrane
Passive transport
Type of passive transport; high to low with concentration. Net movement of a substance down a concentration gradient
Diffusion
Controls the rate of passive transport
Temperature, concentration, and pressure
Movement of water molecules across a membrane
Osmosis
High solution concentration in solution - H2O goes out of cell and the cell becomes flaccid (limp)
Hypertonic
Equal solution concentration and water in both solutions. Reached equilibrium
Isotonic
Low solute concentration in solution. H2O goes into cell. Increase in turgor pressure in plant cells, is Turgid
Hypotonic
Why does water move from one place to another?
Difference in potential energy
In what way does water move
From a region where water potential is greater to a region where water potential is lower
What affects the movement of water and solutes
Gravity, pressure, and concentration of dissolved substances (solutes)
The ____ the concentration of water molecules the greater the water potential
Higher
Water potential is measured in terms of the ____ required to stop to movement of water
Pressure
Water movement from one place to another because of differences in potential energy
Water potential
Tendency of water to move across a membrane into a solution
Osmotic Potential
Osmotic potential of pure water is
0
Osmotic potential of water and solution is
< 0
The lower the water potential of a solution the ____ the tendency of water molecules to move into it by osmosis, and therefore the greater the osmotic potential
Greater
Because solutes decrease the water potential of a solution, a ___ solute concentration means a greater osmotic potential
Higher
High water ----> ____ osmotic potential
Low
High osmotic potential ------> ____ water
Low
Total solute concentration of a solution
Osmotic concentration
Measure of tendency of a solution to take up water when separated from pure water by a selectively permeable membrane
Osmotic pressure
Osmotic pressure of pure water is
0
Greater the osmotic pressure, ____ the solute concentration
Greater
Device to measure osmotic pressure
Osmometer
Cell membrane pulls away from cell wall as water moves out
Plasmolysis
Shrinking of cell due to water loss (shrivel)
Crenation
Bursting due to taking too much water into cell
Cytolysis
Regulation of water balance by organisms in a hypo or hyper environment
Osmoregulation
How does water move in osmosis (water potential)
From a region of high water potential to a region of low water potential
How does water move in osmosis (water concentration)
From high water concentration to lower water concentration
How does water move in osmosis (solute concentration)
From low solute concentration to higher solute concentration
How does water move in osmosis (Hypotonic solution)
From Hypotonic solution to hypertonic solution
Hows does water move in osmosis (Osmotic potential)
From a region of low osmotic potential to a region of high osmotic potential
What drives facilitated diffusion
The potential energy of the concentration gradient
What helps facilitated diffusion
Transport proteins
Open only in response to electrical or chemical stimuli
Gated or selective channels
A transport protein that generates voltage across a membrane
Electrogenic pump
Major electrogenic pump in plants
Proton pump
Mitochondria and chloroplasts use a proton pump to drive _____ ____
ATP synthesis
Voltages created by electrogenic pumps are sources of _____ ____ that are available to do ___ ____
Potential energy :: Cellular work
Process where a single ATP powered pump actively transports one solute and indirectly drives the transport of other solutes against their concentration gradients
Cotransport
Transport Proteins are (Hydrophilic/Hydrophobic)
Hydrophilic
Three major types of Transport Proteins
Uniport, Symport, Antiport
Type of Transport protein - Moves only 1 molecule across in one direction
Uniport
Type of Transport protein - Moves 2 molecules across in the same direction at the same time
Symport
Type of Transport protein - Moves 2 different solutes in opposite directions
Antiport
Two ways small molecules cross membranes :
1) Passing through the phospholipid bilayer
2) Being translocated by a transport protein
Large molecules cross membranes by the mechanism of : (2 ways)
1) Exocytosis
2) Endocytosis
Process where a cell secretes macromolecules by fusion of vesicles with the plasma membrane
Exocytosis
Cell "Dumping"
Exocytosis
Vesicle usually budded from the ER/Golgi and migrates to plasma membrane
Exocytosis
Used by secretory cells to export products
Exocytosis
Process where a cell takes in macromolecules by forming vesicles derived from the plasma membrane
Endocytosis
Vesicle sinks inward and pinches off into the cytoplasm
Endocytosis
Cell "Eating"
Endocytosis
The two types of Endocytosis are
1) Phagocytosis
2) Pinocytosis
Cell eating; solid, larger particles engulfed and forms a food vacuole which fuses with a lysosome to digest with hydrolytic enzymes
Phagocytosis
Cell drinking; taking in extracellular liquid droplets into small vesicles. The cell takes in any and all solutes with liquid
Pinocytosis
More discriminating that pinocytosis
Receptor mediated endocytosis
In receptor mediated endocytosis, coated pits form vesicles when specific ____ bind to receptor sites on the cell membrane
Ligands
