6. objectives
• Be able to:
1. Describe and draw a model of the structure of the cell
membrane
2. Explain how different substances move across the
membrane
NGSS HS-LS1.A Systems of specialized cells within organisms help them
perform the essential functions of life
7. As always…
• Write down content that is underlined
• Vocab terms are in green
8. Membrane Structure
• Made of lipids with 2
parts to them:
1. Phosphate “heads”
1. These “love” water -
they are hydrophilic
2. Fatty acid “tails”
1. These “hate” water -
they are hydrophobic
9. Label hydrophobic and hydrophilic on your
picture
Hydrophilic
“heads”
Hydrophobic “tails”
12. • Since phospholipids
have 2 sides, they
can block out
certain molecules
–This makes the
membrane
semipermeable
13. What else might be semipermeable?
• Rank these items - from MOST
permeable to LEAST permeable
Name at least one other thing that isName at least one other thing that is
semipermeablesemipermeable
14. What can get through?
• Very small things like:
– Oxygen (O2)
– Carbon dioxide(CO2)
– Water
• Hydrophobic things like
– Fats and oils (lipids)
• They move from high concentration to low
concentration
16. Large and hydrophilic molecules
– Proteins
– Sugars
– Wastes
– Salts
• Pass through protein
channels in the cell
membrane
• Proteins are specialized
for one type of substance
19. Whiteboards
• What kinds of things can slip right through the
phospholipid bilayer?
• What kinds of things must go through the
protein channels?
20. Discussion
Elbow partner discussion:
The membrane is selectively permeable
•Partner A: What is it about the phospholipids
that allows the membrane to be selectively
permeable?
•Partner B: What is it about the proteins that
allows the membrane to be selectively
permeable?
21. So…
• The cell membrane
– Has 2 main components:
• PhospholipidsPhospholipids that have a
hydrophilic side and a
hydrophobic side
– Only small things or lipids can get
through it
• Proteins
– Work like doorways to move big
things or hydrophilic things across
the membrane
22. Passive Transport
• Passive transport = no
energy
• Molecules move down their
concentration gradient
• From high to low
concentration
• Label diffusion on your
diagram
23. Osmosis
• A type of passive transport
• Movement of water across a membrane
• From more water to less water
25. • When cells are surrounded by many solutes – water
rushes out of them
• The solution is hypertonic compared to the cell
26. • When cells are surrounded by few solutes –
water rushes into them
• The solution is hypotonic compared to the cell
27. • When cells are in an environment with equal solutes
– water moves in and out equally
• The solution is isotonic compared to the cell
28. Discussion
• A person has been in a terrible car accident
and needs to be given an IV with medicine.
What kind of solution should the doctor
prescribe? Why?
Person B: The doctor
should use a ______
solution in the IV
because ________
Partner A: I
agree/disagree
because
________________
29. Discussion - “yes, and”
• All living things are made of cells.
• All living things respond to their environment.
• All living things maintain homeostasis.
Why is it important that the cell membrane is
selectively permeable?
• First, jot down as many ideas as you can on this topic
• Next, have a discussion with your partner (Partner A first.)
• When you respond, start with “yes, and…” and then add to
their response
• Go back and forth at least 2 times
30. Active Transport
• Sometimes cells need to “push” molecules
against their concentration gradient
• They use protein channels to do this
• It takes energy (ATP) to do this
31. Transport by vesicles
• Cells can use vesicles to send large amounts
out of or into the cell
• Endocytosis – vesicles bring material into cell
• Exocytosis – vesicle sends materials out of cell
33. Closure
Make a diagram of the cell membrane.
1.Draw Carbon Dioxide (CO2 ) molecules moving
by diffusion across the membrane
2.Draw potassium (K+) atoms moving by
diffusion through a protein
3.Draw sodium (Na+) atoms moving by active
transport
4.Explain in writing how the cell transports bulk
materials like proteins out of the cell
34. So can you do these things?
• On the back of your quick check paper:
1. Draw the structure of the cell membrane
1. Label the :
1. hydrophilic heads
2. hydrophobic tails
3. protein doorways
2. Draw in some carbon dioxide molecules ( )and draw them
crossing the cell membrane.
1. Use an arrow to show the direction the CO2 molecules move
3. Draw in some salt ( )molecules and draw them crossing the
membrane through a protein doorway.
1. Use an arrow to show the direction the salt molecules move
4. Describe what it means to be semipermeable
Editor's Notes
First think, look through your notes, jot down your ideas
Use wait time 2 – call on 5-6 people before weighing in
