Cellular Transport
          ‘07 Biology
2 Types:
Active        Passive
Energy!       No energy!
Passive Transport
Substances are allowed to cross the cell
 membrane without any input of energy
Remember: The cell membrane is
 “selectively permeable”



                      QuickTimeª and a
           TIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor
              are needed to see this picture.
Types of Passive Transport
Diffusion
Facilitated Diffusion
Osmosis
Diffusion
Movement of molecules from areas of
 high concentration to low
How does it work?
“Kinetic energy” (energy in motion)
Concentration gradient- caused by a
 difference in concentration
Diffusion results in equilibrium  (all
 molecules occupy the same amount of
 space)
Facilitated Diffusion
Some molecules are helped across the
 cell membrane by carrier proteins
No energy is required in this process



                         QuickTimeª and a
              TIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor
                 are needed to see this picture.
Osmosis
The diffusion of water across the
 cell membrane
The direction of osmosis depends
 on the concentration of solutes
 inside and outside the cell
Osmosis (continued)
Hypotonic- concentration of solutes
 outside the cell is lower than the
 concentration inside
Hypertonic- concentration outside is
 higher than inside
Isotonic- concentrations inside and out
 are equal
Direction of Osmosis



              QuickTimeª and a
   TIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor
      are needed to see this picture.
Active Transport
Sometimes cells must move molecules
 against the concentration gradient
This process requires energy (ATP)
 and special protein “pumps”
Sodium-Potassium Pump
Special proteins within the membrane
 that transport Na+ and K- ions
Some cells must have a higher
 concentration of Na+ ions outside of
 the cell and a higher concentration of
 K- ions inside the cell
2 Potassiums are brought in for every 3
 Sodiums removed
Sodium-Potassium Pump

         are needed to see this picture.
Movement In Vesicles
Some molecules are too big to be
 transported across the cell membrane
 by passive and active transport
Endocytosis- “cell eating”
Exocytosis- “cell pooping”
Endocytosis
Process by which cells ingest
 macromolecules, fluids, large particles
 and even other cells
These molecules are enclose in a
 bubble of membrane (vesicle) that
 pinches away from the cell membrane
Endocytosis (continued)
Pinocytosis- ingestion of small
 particles and fluid
Phagocytosis- ingestion of large
 molecules or other cells


                             QuickTimeª and a
                  TIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor
                     are needed to see this picture.
Exocytosis
Process by which waste and large
 particles are released from the cell
A vesicle will fuse with the membrane,
 releasing its contents into the extra
 cellular environment
Endocytosis/Exocytosis

Editor's Notes

  • #2 What is meant by the word transport? Moving substances across the cell membrane
  • #4 What is the cell membrane made of? Lipids make it polar--> oxygen and co2 can readily pass through Small molecules can pass through protein pores
  • #6 Spray aerosol into the corner of the classroom Kinetic energy --> Particles are constantly moving and bumping into each other Start a mosh pit in the corner of the classroom In the absence of outside influence diffusion will continue until equilibrium is reached
  • #7 Molecules may be too large or not soluble in lipids --> glucose
  • #10 Hypotonic solutions are good Cells adapt by pumping water or solutes out of the cytosol (contractile vacuoles or solute pumps) Plants love hypotonic environments --> turgor pressure Hypertonic solutions are bad…emkay Results in the loss of water --> plasmolysis Some cells cannot adjust to changes in environment (rbc’s) --> cytolysis or “cell bursting “ may result
  • #14 Macromolecules, nutrients, large quantities of small molecules
  • #15 The vesicles then fuse with other membrane bound organelles within the cell
  • #16 Phagocytosis can be used to ingest bacteria or viruses that invade the body! Pic --> white blood cell ingestng bacteria
