Membranes exhibit selective permeability through diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and active transport. Active transport requires ATP and moves molecules against their concentration gradient. The sodium-potassium pump is an example of active transport that helps maintain membrane potential.
The cell membrane provides a boundary for the cell and is selectively permeable, allowing some substances to pass through. Its structure, a lipid bilayer fluid mosaic, relates to its functions. Embedded proteins act as selective channels and markers. Diffusion and osmosis move particles down concentration gradients through the phospholipid bilayer without energy. Active transport moves substances against gradients through protein channels using energy. Endocytosis and exocytosis move larger particles in and out of cells.
The document provides information about the basic structures and functions of plant and animal cells. It describes the key components of the cell and their roles, including the cell membrane, cell wall, nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, Golgi apparatus, plastids, vacuoles, and centrioles. It also compares the structures of plant and animal cells and explains various processes involved in cell transport, such as diffusion, osmosis, and active transport.
The document discusses cell membranes and how they regulate movement across membranes. It explains that cell membranes are made of phospholipids arranged in a bilayer. This phospholipid bilayer forms a semi-permeable barrier that allows some substances to pass through directly but requires protein channels for other substances. Movement across the membrane occurs through three main types of transport: simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and active transport. Osmosis is described as the diffusion of water across the membrane from high to low concentration areas. The document also discusses how cells maintain balance of water levels in different environments.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

2. All cells live in a liquid environment
to survive
One of the most important functions
of a cell membrane is to regulate the
movement of dissolved molecules
from the liquid on one side of the
membrane to the liquid on the other
side.
3. Cell (plasma) membrane
• Cells need an inside & an outside…
– separate cell from its environment
– cell membrane is the boundary between
the inside & outside of cell
OUT:
IN: food Waste or
- sugars products
- proteins - ammonia
- fats - salts
salts - CO2 &H2O
O2& H2O - proteins
cell needs materials in & products or waste out
4. Building a membrane
• 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?
5. Lipids of cell membrane
• Membrane is made of special kind of
lipid: phospholipids
Polar side is
– “split personality”
“attracted to water”
• Membrane is a double layer
– phospholipidbilayer: polar on
outsides phosphate
– Non-polar on the inside
inside cell
lipid
Non-polar side is
outside cell
“repelled by water”
6. Semi-permeable membrane
• only some material can get in or out
• Cell membrane controls what gets in or out

outside cell
other stuff?
9. Cell membrane channels
• Need to make ―doors‖ through
membraneprotein channels allow
substances in &out specificchannels allow
specific material in & out
• H2O channel, salt channel, sugar channel, etc.
inside cell H 2O aa sugar
waste salt outside cell
10. How do you build a semi-
permeable cell membrane?
• Channels are made of proteins
– proteins both “like” water & “like” lipids
bi-lipid protein channels
membrane in bi-lipid membrane
11. Protein channels
• Proteins act as doors in the membrane
– channels to move specific molecules
through cell membrane
HIGH
LOW
12. Q) Cell membranes are constructed
mainly of:
• A) lipid layers.

membrane if you give them a channel?
?
HIGH
?
LOW
14. Molecules are constantly moving.
• They collide w/ one another and tend to
spread out randomly. As a result…
?
HIGH
?
LOW
15. molecules move from high to low
concentration.
• Diffusion : movement from HIGH to
LOW concentration
16. Q) Diffusion occurs because
• A) molecules constantly move and collide
with one another.
• B) the concentration of a solution is never
the same throughout a solution.
• C) the concentration of a solution is always
the same throughout the solution.
• D) molecules never move or collide with one
another.

*no energy needed
2) help through a protein channel
*facilitated diffusion (with help)
*no energy needed HIGH
LOW
21. Diffusion
When the concentration of the substance on
both sides of the cell are the
same, particles will continue to move
across the membrane in both
directions, but in equal numbers.
HIGH
LOW
22. Simple vs. facilitated diffusion

water separately
• Osmosis
– diffusion of water from HIGH concentration of
water to LOW concentration of water
• across a semi-permeable membrane
30. Keeping water balance
• Cell survival depends on balancing
water uptake & water loss
freshwater balanced saltwater
31. Keeping right amount of water in
1
cell
• Freshwater
– a cell in fresh water KABOOM!
freshwater
– high concentration of water
around cell
• cell gains water
• example: Paramecium
• problem: cells gain water,
swell & can burst
No problem,
–water continually enters here
Paramecium cell
• solution: contractile vacuole
–pumps water out of cell
33. Keeping right amount of water in
2
cell
• Saltwater
– a cell in salt water I’m shrinking, saltwater
I’m shrinking!
– low concentration of
water around cell
• cell loses water
– example: shellfish
– problem: cell loses water
• in plants: plasmolysis I will
survive!
• in animals: shrinking
cell
– solution: take up water
34. Keeping right amount of water in
3
cell
• Balanced conditions
– no difference in That’s balanced
concentration of water better!
between cell &
environment
• cell in equilibrium
• example:blood
• problem: none
–water flows across I could
membrane equally, be better…
in both directions
–volume of cell doesn’t
change
