Cell Membrane
The cell membrane is flexible and allows a unicellularorganism to move
4
Homeostasis
• Balanced internal condition of cells
• Also called equilibrium
• Maintained by plasma membranecontrolling what enters & leaves the cell
5
Functions of Plasma Membrane
� Protective barrier
� Regulate transport in & out of cell (selectively permeable)
� Allow cell recognition
� Provide anchoring sites for filaments of cytoskeleton
6
Functions of Plasma Membrane
� Provide a binding site for enzymes
� Interlocking surfaces bind cells together (use of pectin)
�Contains the cytoplasm (fluid in cell)

Phospholipids
Make up the cell membrane
Contains 2 fatty acid chains that are nonpolar
Head is polar & contains a phosphate group & glycerol
11
FLUID- because individual phospholipids and proteins can move side-to-side within the layer, like it’s a liquid.
MOSAIC- because of the pattern produced by the scattered protein molecules when the membrane is viewed from above.
FLUID MOSAIC MODEL
12
Polar heads are hydrophilic “water loving”
Nonpolar tails are hydrophobic “water fearing”
Cell Membrane
Makes membrane “Selective” in what crosses
13
14
Cell Membrane
Hydrophobicmolecules pass easily; hydrophilic DO NOT
The cell membrane is made of 2 layers of phospholipids called the lipid bilayer
15
Solubility
• Materials that are soluble in lipids can pass through the cell membrane easily
16
Small molecules and larger hydrophobicmolecules move through easily.e.g. O2, CO2, H2O
Semipermeable Membrane
17
Ions, hydrophilic molecules larger than water, and large molecules such as proteinsdo not move through the membrane on their own.
Semipermeable Membrane
18
Types of Transport Across Cell Membranes
19
1. Simple Diffusion
• Requires NOenergy
• Molecules move from area of HIGH to LOWconcentration
20
2. DIFFUSION
Diffusion is a PASSIVE process which means no energy is used to make the molecules move, they have a natural KINETIC ENERGY
21
Diffusion of Liquids
22
Diffusion through a Membrane
Cell membrane
Solute moves DOWN concentration gradient (HIGH to LOW)
23
3. Osmosis
• Diffusion of wateracross a membrane
• Moves from HIGH water potential(low solute) toLOW water potential (high solute)
Diffusion across a membrane
Semipermeable membrane
24
Diffusion of H2O Across A Membrane
High H2O potentialLow solute concentration
Low H2O potentialHigh solute concentration
TONICITY
the osmotic pressure or tension of a solution, as in
the cells would swell or shrink depending on the
tonicity of the environment.

(3) Forms of Transport Across the Membrane
35
Passive Transport
Simple Diffusion
� Doesn’t require energy
� Moves high to lowconcentration� Example: Oxygen or water diffusing into a cell and carbon dioxidediffusing out.
36
Passive Transport
Facilitated diffusion
�Doesn’t require energy
�Uses transport proteins to move high tolow concentrationExamples: Glucose or amino acids moving from blood into a cell.
37
Proteins Are Critical to Membrane Function
38
Types of Transport Proteins
• Channel proteins are embedded in the cell membrane & have a porefor materials to randomly cross
• Carrier proteins can change shapeto move material from one side of the membrane to the other. Also called Integral proteins
39
CHANNEL PROTEINS (passive transport)
Molecules will randomly move through the pores in Channel Proteins.

40
CARRIER PROTEINS (active transport)
• Some Carrier proteins do not extend through the membrane.
• They bond anddrag molecules through the lipid bilayer and release them on the opposite side.
41
Carrier Proteins
• Other carrierproteins change shapeto move materials across the cell membrane
42
Active Transport
�Requires energy or ATP
�Moves materials from LOW to HIGHconcentration
�AGAINSTconcentration gradient
43
Active transport
�Examples: Pumping Na+ (sodium ions) out and K+
(potassium ions) in against strong concentration gradients.
�Called Na+-K+ Pump
44
Sodium-Potassium Pump
3 Na+ pumped in for every 2 K+ pumped out; creates a membrane potential
45
Moving the “Big Stuff”
Molecules are moved out of the cell by vesicles that fusewith the plasma membrane.
1. Exocytosis-
moving things out.
This is how many hormones are secreted and how nerve cells communicate with one another.
46
ExocytosisThe opposite of endocytosis is exocytosis. Large molecules that are manufactured in the cell are
released through the cell membrane.
Inside Cell Cell environment
47
ExocytosisExocytic vesicle immediately after fusion with plasma membrane.

Moving the “Big Stuff”Large molecules move materials into the cell by
one of (3) forms of endocytosis.
2. Endocytosis
49
I. Pinocytosis
• Cell forms an invagination
• Materials dissolve in water to be brought into cell
• Called “Cell Drinking”
50
Pinocytosis
Most common form of endocytosis.Takes in dissolved molecules as a vesicle.
51
Example of Pinocytosispinocytic vesicles forming mature transport vesicle
Transport across a capillary cell (blue).
52
II. Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis
Some integral proteins have receptors on their surface to recognize & take in hormones, cholesterol, etc.
53
Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis
54
III. Phagocytosis
Used to engulf large particles such as food, bacteria, etc. into vesicles
Called “Cell Eating”
