Cell Membrane Functions



1) Isolate cell from external environment




2) Regulate traffic in and out of cell




3) Communicate with other cells

Structure

Doesn't allow ions or polar molecules; does allow small molecules and non-polar molecules

Types of Proteins

Recognition= ID tags; surface attachment sites for hormones and other similar molecules


Receptor= Trigger cell's responses when specific molecules bind to them


Transport= regulate movement in and out of cell (channel= water and molecules; carrier= ions and large molecules)

Diffusion

movement of particles; H to L concentration


rate is affected by; heat energy, molecule size, size of concentration range (slope), and lipid solubility


*passive transport

Osmosis

diffusion of water across a cell membrane


Hypertonic= high in cell, low outside (outflow)


Hypotonic= low in cell, high outside (inflow)


Isotonic= equal water in and out (equilibrium)


*passive transport

Facilitated Diffusion

diffusion through channel proteins


molecule attaches to protein; protein changes shape; molecule passes through; protein reverts back


*passive transport

Molecular Transport

transports proteins and energy from L to H concentration


molecule attaches to protein; protein changes shape; molecule is pushed through; protein reverts back


*active transport b/c of pushing from L to H

Endocytosis

taking in needed materials to a cell


Pinocytosis= liquids


Phaygocytosis= solids


*active transport (bulk transport)

Exocytosis

disposing of cell products and waste


vesicle produced by waste the Golgi App. packaged is fused to cell membrane and releases the waste outside of cell


*active (bulk) transport
