3.1 MOVEMENT OF SUBSTANCES ACROSS THE PLASMA MEMBRANE
![Page 2: 3. 1 the Movement of Substances Across the Plasma Membrane](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062313/55cf8eda550346703b9657d0/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
• Metabolism : –all the chemical activities taking place in
the cell• Consists of two processes:
1. Anabolism 2. Catabolism
![Page 3: 3. 1 the Movement of Substances Across the Plasma Membrane](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062313/55cf8eda550346703b9657d0/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Anabolism
the building up of moleculesE.g. : synthesis of protein and
ATPs, which a cell needs
![Page 4: 3. 1 the Movement of Substances Across the Plasma Membrane](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062313/55cf8eda550346703b9657d0/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Catabolism
breaking down of large molecules to smaller simpler molecules.
E.g. : oxidation of glucose in cell respiration

Substances that leave the cell
Substance Reason for removal
Carbon dioxide (animal cell)
waste product of respiration
Oxygen (Plant cell) waste product of photosynthesis
Secretions cellular products for use in other parts of the body
Nitrogenous waste waste products from breakdown of excess proteins
Excess water Osmoregulation

• Phospholipid bilayer consists of:
–A polar phosphate molecule head which is hydrophilic
– Two non-polar fatty acid tails which are hydrophobic

Permeability of the phospholipids bilayer
• Plasma membrane : – semi-permeable– Allows only certain substances to pass
through but not other
![Page 14: 3. 1 the Movement of Substances Across the Plasma Membrane](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062313/55cf8eda550346703b9657d0/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Permeability of the phospholipids bilayer
• Phospholipid bilayer is permeable to:– Small non-polar (hydrophobic) molecules
that are lipid soluble, such as : fatty acids, glycerol, steroids, vitamin A, D, E and K
– Small uncharged molecules, such as: water, oxygen and carbon dioxide

• Phospholipid bilayer is not permeable to:– Large polar molecules that are not
soluble in lipid, such as glucose amino acids, nucleic acids and polysaccharides– Ions (charged), regardless of size, such
as: H+, Na+
