Cell Membrane What is it? outermost component of a cell Functions: - selective barrier - encloses cytoplasm Extracellular: material outside cell Intracellular: material inside cell 6 Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education. Permission required for reproduction or display. Structure of Cell Membrane Called Fluid Mosaic Model Made of phospholipids and proteins Phospholipids form a double layer or bilayer Phospholipids contain 2 regions: polar and nonpolar 7 Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education. Permission required for reproduction or display. Polar regions: - “heads” - hydrophilic (H2O loving) - exposed to H2O Nonpolar regions: - “tails” - hydrophobic (H2O fearing) - away from H2O 8 Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education.

Movement through Cell Membrane Cell membrane selectively determines what can pass in and out of the cell. Enzymes, glycogen, and potassium are found in higher concentrations INSIDE the cell. Sodium, calcium, and chloride are found in higher concentrations OUTSIDE the cell. 12 Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education. Permission required for reproduction or display. Ways molecules Pass through Cell Membrane 1. Directly through (diffusion): O2 and CO2 (small molecules) 2. Membrane channels: - proteins that extend from one side of cell membrane to other - size, shape, and charge (+/-) determine what can go through - Ex. Na+ passes through Na+ channels 13 Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education. Permission required for reproduction or display. Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education. Permission required for reproduction or display. 3. Carrier molecules: - bind to molecules, transport them across, and drop them off - Ex. glucose 4. Vesicles: - can transport a variety of materials - fuse with cell membrane 15 Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education. Permission required for reproduction or display. Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education.

Diffusion What is it? movement of molecules from areas of high to low concentration Solution: solid, liquid, or gas that contains one or more solutes Solute: substance added to solvent that dissolves Solvent: substance such as H2O that solute is being added to Ex. Add salt to H2O. H2O =solvent, salt=solute, mixture=solution 18 Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education. Permission required for reproduction or display. Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education. Permission required for reproduction or display. Concentration gradient: - measures conc. difference at 2 points - greater the distance the faster the solute will travel Filtration: movement of fluid through a partition with holes 20 Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education. Permission required for reproduction or display. Mediated Transport Mechanisms Facilitated diffusion: - diffusion with aid of a carrier molecule - requires no ATP Active transport: - moves substances from low to high conc. - requires ATP - Ex. Sodium-potassium pump 21 Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education. Permission required for reproduction or display. Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education. Permission required for reproduction or display. Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education. Permission required for reproduction or display. Na+–K+ pump 1 Three sodium ions (Na+) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) bind to the sodium–potassium (Na+–K+) pump. Na+ ATP 1 Na+–K+ pump changes shape Na+ (requires energy). K+ 2 The ATP breaks down to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and a phosphate (P) and releases energy. That energy is used to power the shape change in the Na+–K+ pump. P 2 ADP 3 The Na+–K+ pump changes shape, and the Na+ are 3 transported across the membrane and into the Na+ K+ 4 extracellular fluid. 4 Two potassium ions (K+) bind to the Na+–K+ pump. 5 5 The phosphate is released from the Na+–K+ pump P binding site. Na+–K+ pump resumes original shape. 6 The Na+–K+ pump changes shape, transporting K+ across the membrane and into the cytoplasm. The Na+–K+ pump can again bind to Na+ and ATP. 6 K+ Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education. Permission required for reproduction or display. Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education. Permission required for reproduction or display. Carrier molecule Na+–K+ pump Na+ 2 Glucose 1 K+ Na+ Glucose 1 A Na+–K+ pump maintains a concentration of Na+ that is higher outside the cell than inside. 2 Na+ move back into the cell by a carrier molecule that also moves glucose. The concentration gradient for Na+ provides the energy required to move glucose, by cotransport, against its concentration gradient. 24 Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education.

Osmosis What is it? diffusion of water across a cell membrane Osmotic pressure: force required to prevent movement of water across cell membrane 25 Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education.

Permission required for reproduction or display. * Because the tube contains salt ions (green and pink spheres) as well as water molecules (blue spheres), there is proportionately less water in the tube than in the beaker, which contains only water. The water molecules diffuse with their concentration gradient into the tube (blue arrows). Because the salt ions cannot leave the tube, the total fluid volume inside the tube increases, and fluid moves up the glass tube (black arrow) as a result of osmosis. 3% salt solution Weight Selectively of water permeable Salt solution column membrane rising The solution stops rising when the weight of the water column prevents further movement of water into the tube by osmosis. Distilled water Water Osmosis 1 The end of a tube 2 The tube is immersed in 3 Water moves by osmosis into containing a 3% salt distilled water. Water the tube until the weight of solution (green) is closed moves into the tube by the column of water in the at one end with a osmosis (see inset above*). tube (hydrostatic pressure) selectively permeable The concentration of salt in prevents further movement membrane, which allows the tube decreases as of water into the tube. The water molecules to pass water rises in the tube hydrostatic pressure that through but retains the (lighter green color ). prevents net movement of salt ions within the tube. water into the tube is equal to the osmotic pressure of the solution in the tube.

Types of Osmotic Solutions Hypotonic solution: - lower conc. of solutes outside cell - higher conc. of H2O outside cell - H2O moves into cell - lysis (burst) Hypertonic solution: - higher conc. of solutes outside cell - higher conc. H2O inside cell - H2O moves out - crenation (shrinks) 27 Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education. Permission required for reproduction or display. Isotonic solution: - equal conc. of solutes - water doesn’t move - cell remains intact 28 Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education. Permission required for reproduction or display.

Interphase: - time between cell divisions - DNA is in strands (chromatin) - DNA replication occurs 2. Prophase: - chromatin condenses into chromosomes - centrioles move to opposite ends 71 Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education. Permission required for reproduction or display. 3. Metaphase: chromosomes align 4. Anaphase: - chromatids separate to form 2 sets of chromosomes - chromosomes move towards centrioles 5. Telophase: - chromosomes disperse - nuclear envelopes and nucleoli form - cytoplasm divides to form 2 cells 72 Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education. Permission required for reproduction or display.
