Title: Cell Membranes
1Cell Membranes Movement Across Them
2Cell (plasma) membrane
- separate cell from its environment
- cell membrane is the boundary
IN food sugars proteins fats salts O2 H2O
OUT waste ammonia salts CO2 H2O products
cell needs materials in products or waste out

6Building a membrane
- How do you build a barrier that keeps the watery
contents of the cell separate from the watery
environment?
What substance do you know that doesnt mix with
water?
- ? FATS ?
- ? LIPIDS ?
- oil water dont mix!!
7Lipids of cell membrane
- Membrane is made of phospholipids
- phospholipid bilayer
phosphate
attracted to water
lipid
repelled by water
8Semi-permeable membrane
- Need to allow passage through the membrane
- But need to control what gets in or out
- membrane needs to be semi-permeable
So what needs to get across the membrane?
aa
H2O
sugar
lipid
salt
NH3
So how do you build a semi-permeable membrane?
9Phospholipid bilayer
- What molecules can get through directly?
- small molecules
fats other lipids can slip directly through the
phospholipid cell membrane, but what about
other stuff?
lipid
salt
waste
aa
H2O
sugar
10Permeable cell membrane
- Need to allow more material through
- membrane needs to be permeable to
- all materials a cell needs to bring in
- all waste a cell needs excrete out
- all products a cell needs to export out
inside cell
lipid
sugar
aa
H2O
holes, or channels, in cell membrane allow
material in out
salt
waste
outside cell
11Semi-permeable cell membrane
- But the cell still needs control
- membrane needs to be semi-permeable
- specific channels allow specific material in
out
inside cell
sugar
aa
H2O
salt
waste
outside cell
12How do you build a semi-permeable cell membrane?
- channels are made of proteins
- proteins both like water like lipids
bi-lipid membrane
protein channelsin bi-lipid membrane
13Protein channels
- Proteins act as doors in the membrane
- channels to move specific molecules through cell
membrane
14- Most cell membranes are composed principally of
- DNA and ATP
- proteins and lipids
- chitin and starch
- nucleotides and amino acids
15- Most cell membranes are composed principally of
- DNA and ATP
- proteins and lipids
- chitin and starch
- nucleotides and amino acids
16Movement through the channel
- Why do molecules move through membrane if you
give them a channel?
?
?
17Molecules move from high to low
- Diffusion
- move from HIGH to LOW concentration
18Diffusion
- Move from HIGH to LOW concentration
- passive transport
- no energy needed

23Diffusion
- Move from HIGH to LOW concentration
- through membrane
- simple diffusion
- no energy needed
- through a protein channel
- facilitated diffusion (with help)
- no energy needed

25Active transport
- Cells may need molecules to move against
concentration difference - need to pump uphill
- from LOW to HIGH using ATP
- protein pump
- requires energy
- ATP

29OsmosisMovement of Water Across Cell Membrane
30Osmosis
- Osmosis
- diffusion of water from HIGH concentration of
water to LOW concentration of water - across a semi-permeable membrane
31- Normally, in the process of osmosis, the net flow
of water molecules into or out of the cell
depends upon differences in the - 1. concentration of water molecules inside and
outside the cell - 2. concentration of enzymes on either side of the
cell membrane - 3. rate of molecular motion on either side of the
cell membrane - 4. rate of movement of insoluble molecules inside
the cell
32Keeping water balance
- Cell survival depends on balancing water uptake
water loss
33Managing water balance
- Balanced conditions
- no difference between cell environment
- example blood
- problem none
- water flows across membrane equally, in both
directions - volume of cell doesnt change
balanced
34Managing water balance
- Freshwater
- a cell in fresh water
- example Paramecium
- problem gains water, swells can burst
- water continually enters Paramecium cell
- solution contractile vacuole
- pumps water out of cell
freshwater
35Controlling water
- Contractile vacuole in Paramecium
36Managing water balance
- Saltwater
- a cell in salt water
- example shellfish
- problem lose water
- plasmolysis in plants
- shrinking cell
- solution take up water
saltwater
