4.3 Membrane Transport 1 Plasma membrane Serves as physical barrier between cell and fluid that surround it (interstitial fluid) Regulates movement into and out of a cell Establishes and maintains electrochemical gradient Functions in cell communication Membrane transport Process of obtaining and eliminating substance across the plasma membrane Two categories Passive processes Active processes 54 Membrane Transport Key Concept Water follows solute Substances move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration until an equilibrium is reached 55 Membrane Transport Figure 4.7

down concentration gradient Move from area of more substance to area of less Two types: diffusion, osmosis Active processes of membrane transport Require energy Substance must be moved up its concentration gradient (active transport) Membrane-bound vesicle must be released (vesicular transport) 57 4.3a Passive Processes: Diffusion 1 Diffusion Net movement of ions or molecules from area of greater concentration to area of lesser concentration Down the concentration gradient Also influenced by “steepness” of concentration gradient Measure of the difference in concentration between two areas Steeper gradient causes faster rate of diffusion If unopposed, diffusion continues until substance reaches equilibrium Molecules evenly distributed throughout a given area 58 Diffusion Figure
