 Think about the following question:
Why are cells small?
The Cell Membrane
 Selectively
permeable – allows some
substances to cross more easily than others
 8 nm thick
 Fluid mosaic model
 Fluid
structure of phospholipids with a mosaic of
various proteins embedded in it
 Cholesterol
maintains fluidity – acts as a
temperature buffer
 less
fluid as temp increases (restricts movement)
 More fluid as temp decreases (maintains
space)
The Structure of the Cell
Membrane
Membrane Proteins
 Different
types of cells contain different
types of membrane proteins
 Integral
proteins – embedded into the
hydrophobic core of the lipid bilayer

Can go all the way
through the membrane
 Peripheral
proteins –
on the surface of the
membrane

Passive Transport

Passive Transport – movement across the cell
membrane that does not require energy

Diffusion – movement of particles from an area of high
concentration to an area of low concentration until an
equilibrium is reached

Said to go with/down its concentration gradient

Concentration gradient – the difference in the
concentration of a substance across a space

Equilibrium – concentration of a
substance is equal throughout a
space

Doesn’t stop moving
Osmosis
 Osmosis
– the diffusion of free water across
a selectively permeable membrane
 Water
diffuses across the cell membrane
from a region of low solute concentration
to that of a higher solute
concentration until it
reaches equilibrium

Osmoregulation in Cells
without Cell Walls
 Osmoregulation
– control of water balance
 Tonicity – ability of a solution to cause a cell to
gain/lose water


Isotonic solution – no net movement of water across
the cell membrane
Hypertonic solution – more free water inside the cell
 Cell

loses water to environment and shrivels
Hypotonic solution – less free water inside the cell
 Water
will enter the cell and swell (and maybe lyse)
 Some cells have a contractile vacuole to pump water
out of the cell
Animal Cells
Osmoregulation of Cells with
Cell Walls
 Plant
cells are healthiest in a hypotonic
solution, osmotic pressure keeps cell walls
turgid (very firm)
 Plant
cells are flaccid (limp) in an isotonic
solution
 In
a hypertonic solution, the cell membrane
will shrink and pull away from the cell wall
 Called
plasmolysis (wilting)
Plant Cell

Some always open for diffusion
Rate of movement is determined by concentration
gradient
(+) charged ions more likely to diffuse into the cell
(-) charged ions more likely to diffuse out of the cell
Some ion channels have gates and can be opened
by:
 Stretching
of the cell membrane
 Change in electrical charge
 Binding of specific molecules
Voltage Gated Channels
 Nerve
cells transmit electrical signals by
opening a series of Na+ gated channels

Channel is closed
Area changes voltage
Channel opens briefly
Na+ flood into cell – voltage changes
Channel closes and electrical signal passes on
to the next voltage channel
Chemically (Ligand) Gated
Channels
 Nerve
cells send out a neurotransmitter called
acetylcholine (ACh) to nearby muscle cells to
signal muscles to contract

 Proton Pump
 Cotransport
Sodium Potassium Pump
 Pumps
3 Na+ out of the cell and 2 K+ into the cell
 Actively transports both ions against their
concentration gradient, powered by ATP
 Prevents Na+ from accumulating in the cell
 Steps:

3 Na+ and a P (from ATP) bind to inside protein
pump
Pump changes shape transporting 3 Na+ across
membrane and out
2 K+ bind to pump and are transported across

 Actively
transports protons (H+) through
the internal membranes of mitochondria

Cotransport (Coupled Transport)
 Cotransport
– an ATP-powered pump that
transports a specific solute


Can indirectly drive the active transport of several
other solutes
Ex: as proton pumps pump
H+ out, H+ diffuse back into
the cell pulling sucrose
molecules into the cell
with it

out of many freshwater protozoan cells. A freshwater
protozoan was placed in solution A and observed to form
contractile vacuoles at a rate of 11 per minute. The same
protozoan was then placed in solution B and observed to form
contractile vacuoles at a rate of 4 per minute. Based on this
information, which of the following statements is correct?
