Cell Membranes
&
Movement Across Them

Regents Biology

2006-2007
Cell (plasma) membrane
ī‚§ Cells need an inside & an outsideâ€Ļ
īĩ

separate cell from its environment

īĩ

cell membrane is the boundary

IN
food
- sugars
- proteins
- fats
salts
O2
H2O
Regents Biology

OUT
waste
- ammonia
- salts
- CO2
- H2O
products
- proteins

cell needs materials in & products or waste out
Building a membrane
ī‚§ How do you build a barrier that keeps
the watery contents of the cell separate
from the watery environment?
→ FATS ←
→ LIPIDS ←
Remember:
oil & water
don’t mix!!
What substance
do you know
that doesn’t mix
with water?
Regents Biology
Lipids of cell membrane
ī‚§ Membrane is made of special kind of lipid
īĩ
īĩ

phospholipids
“split personality”

“attracted to water”

ī‚§ Membrane is a double layer
īĩ

phospholipid bilayer

phosphate

inside cell
lipid

outside cell

Regents Biology

“repelled by water”
Semi-permeable membrane
ī‚§ Cell membrane controls what gets in or out
ī‚§ Need to allow some materials — but not all
— to pass through the membrane
īĩ

semi-permeable
ī‚§ only some material can get in or out

So what needs to get across the membrane?
sugar lipids

Regents Biology

aa

O2

H2O

salt

waste
Crossing the cell membrane
ī‚§ What molecules can get through the cell
membrane directly?
īĩ

fats and oils can pass directly through

inside cell
waste

outside cell
Regents Biology

lipid
salt

sugar aa

H2O

butâ€Ļ
what about
other stuff?
Cell membrane channels
ī‚§ Need to make “doors” through membrane
īĩ

protein channels allow substances in & out
ī‚§ specific channels allow specific material in & out
ī‚§ H2O channel, salt channel, sugar channel, etc.

inside cell

waste salt
Regents Biology

H2O

aa

sugar

outside cell
How do you build a semi-permeable
cell membrane?
ī‚§ Channels are made of proteins
īĩ

proteins both “like” water & “like” lipids

bi-lipid
membrane

Regents Biology

protein channels
in bi-lipid membrane
Protein channels

ī‚§ Proteins act as doors in the membrane
īĩ

channels to move specific molecules
through cell membrane
HIGH

LOW
Regents Biology
Movement through the channel
ī‚§ Why do molecules move through
membrane if you give them a channel?
HIGH
?

LOW
?
Regents Biology
Molecules move from high to low
ī‚§ Diffusion
īĩ

move from HIGH to LOW concentration

Regents Biology
Diffusion
ī‚§ Move from HIGH to LOW concentration
passive transport
īĩ no energy needed

Active transport

ī‚§ Cells may need molecules to move
against concentration “hill”
īĩ

need to pump “uphill”
ī‚§ from LOW to HIGH using energy

protein pump
īĩ requires energy
ī‚§ ATP

Osmosis
Movement of Water Across
Cell Membrane

Regents Biology

2006-2007
Osmosis
ī‚§ Water is very important, so we talk about
ī‚§

water separately
Osmosis
īĩ

diffusion of water from HIGH concentration
of water to LOW concentration of water
ī‚§ across a semi-permeable membrane

Regents Biology
Keeping water balance
ī‚§ Cell survival depends on balancing
water uptake & water loss
freshwater

Regents Biology

balanced

saltwater
1

Keeping right amount of water in cell
ī‚§ Freshwater

KABOOM!

freshwater

a cell in fresh water
īĩ high concentration of water
around cell
īĩ

ī‚§ cell gains water
ī‚§ example: Paramecium
ī‚§ problem: cells gain water,

swell & can burst
īˇ water continually enters

No problem,
here

Paramecium cell

ī‚§ solution: contractile vacuole
īˇ pumps water out of cell
Regents Biology
Controlling water
ī‚§ Contractile vacuole in Paramecium

Regents Biology
2

Keeping right amount of water in cell

ī‚§ Saltwater

I’m shrinking,
I’m shrinking!

a cell in salt water
īĩ low concentration of water
around cell
īĩ

ī‚§ cell loses water

example: shellfish
īĩ problem: cell loses water
īĩ

ī‚§ in plants: plasmolysis
ī‚§ in animals: shrinking cell
īĩ

solution: take up water

Regents Biology

I will
survive!

saltwater
3

Keeping right amount of water in cell

ī‚§ Balanced conditions
īĩ

That’s
better!

no difference in
concentration of water
between cell & environment
ī‚§ cell in equilibrium
ī‚§ example: blood
ī‚§ problem: none
īˇ water flows across

membrane equally,
in both directions
īˇ volume of cell doesn’t
change
Regents Biology

I could
be betterâ€Ļ

balanced

Editor's Notes

  1. Donuts! Each transport protein is specific as to the substances that it will translocate (move). For example, the glucose transport protein in the liver will carry glucose from the blood to the cytoplasm, but not fructose, its structural isomer. Some transport proteins have a hydrophilic channel that certain molecules or ions can use as a tunnel through the membrane -- simply provide corridors allowing a specific molecule or ion to cross the membrane. These channel proteins allow fast transport. For example, water channel proteins, aquaprorins, facilitate massive amounts of diffusion.
  2. Movement from high concentration of that substance to low concentration of that substance.
  3. Plants have nitrate & phosphate pumps in their roots. Why? Nitrate for amino acids Phosphate for DNA & membranes Not coincidentally these are the main constituents of fertilizer.
