Cell Membrane & SolutionsCell Membrane & Solutions Cell membranes are completely
permeable to water. The environment the cell is exposed to can
have a dramatic effect on the cell.
Solutions are made of solute and a solvent
Solvent - the liquid (water) into which the solute is poured and dissolved.
SoluteSolute Solute: substance that is dissolved or
put into the solvent (water). Common cell solutes include salts, sugars,
some minerals (iron ions and calcium ions) and protons (electrons from acids).
Eg. Sodium chloride dissolved in water makes a saline solution. The sodium chloride is the solute. The water is the solvent.
ConcentrationConcentration
Amount of solute per unit volume of solution.
expressed in mass/volume (g/100ml - percentage), ppm (parts per million), and moles/volume (molarity).
The greater the mass or moles per unit volume, the more concentrated the solution.
Concentration GradientConcentration Gradient
Difference in concentration between solute molecules from area high concentration to area of low concentration.
The greater the difference the faster the rate of diffusion and vice versa i.e. the steeper the hill
Cellular MembraneCellular MembraneStructure and Structure and
FunctionFunction
All cells have a cell membrane Chiefly responsible for maintaining
homeostasis inside a living cell using different methods to transport molecules in and out of the cell.

Transport ProteinsTransport Proteins
Regulate movement of substance
1. Channel Proteins form small openings for molecules to diffuse
through like water
2. Carrier Proteins binding site on protein surface "grabs" certain
molecules and pulls them into the cell animation
Gated ChannelsGated Channels similar to carrier proteins, not always "open"—
eg. Bind and pull in calcium ions when needed. This requires cell energy—active transport.
Receptor ProteinsReceptor Proteins
molecular triggers that set off cell responses (such as release of hormones or opening of channel proteins)
e.g. The junction between nerve cells e.g. The junction between nerve cells requires the transmission of requires the transmission of neurotransmitters between synaptic gapsneurotransmitters between synaptic gaps—these chemicals bind onto receptor —these chemicals bind onto receptor proteins.proteins.
Recognition Proteins - ID tags, to identify cells to the body's immune system (called antigens)

•Transport Animations
Passive Transport (p 198)Passive Transport (p 198) cell uses no energy molecules move randomly Molecules spread out from an area of
high concentration to an area of low concentration.
i.e. down a concentration gradient (High Low) Passive Transport Animation
3 Types of Passive Transport3 Types of Passive Transport
1. Diffusion – high conc. to low conc.
2. Facilitative Diffusion – diffusion with the help of transport proteins
3. Osmosis – diffusion of water
1. Diffusion1. Diffusion
random movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
(High to Low) Diffusion continues until all
molecules are evenly spaced (equilibrium is reached) Note: molecules will still move around
but stay spread out.

2. Facilitated Diffusion2. Facilitated Diffusion diffusion that is enabled
by proteins (channel or carrier proteins) which bind onto required molecules so that they flow into the cell. Transport Proteins are
specific – they “select” only certain molecules to cross the membrane
Transports larger or charged molecules

Diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane
From high to low concentrations
•Water moves freely through pores.
•Solute (green) too large to move across.

Factors Affecting Rate Factors Affecting Rate of Diffusionof Diffusion
1. Size1. Size
small molecules diffuse faster than large molecules
slip through phospholipids bilayer easier very large molecules may not be able to
diffuse at all
2. Concentration2. Concentration
concentration gradient - diffusion rate Steeper hill
3. Temperature3. Temperature
temperature – diffusion rate molecules move faster
4. Polarity of molecules4. Polarity of molecules
Polar molecules (water-soluble) don’t move easily through membrane stopped by middle water-insoluble (nonpolar)
layer
5. Surface Area5. Surface Area surface area - diffusion rate As a cell’s size increases its volume increases
much quicker than it’s surface area. If you double individual lengths (1 cm to 2 cm) the
surface areas increases 4 times, and the volume increases 8 times.
5. Surface Area5. Surface Area If cell’s size is doubled, it would require 8 times
more nutrients and have 8 times s much waste. SA only increases by a factor of 4 – not enough
surface area through which nutrients and wastes could move. Cell would either starve or be poisoned (waste
products) Cells divide before they come too large to
function.
Active TransportActive Transport Involves moving molecules "uphill" against
the concentration gradient, which requires energy. Uses carrier protein molecules as receptors.
One may transport calcium ions another glucose molecules.
Hundreds of these types of protein molecules. Each one changes shape to accommodate a
specific molecule.

2. Active Transport2. Active Transport (cont’d) (cont’d)
Their activity can be stopped from transporting molecules with inhibitors (unfortunately, these are usually poisons) which: either destroy the membrane protein or just plug it up (e.g. for your neurons – tetanus &
botulinum-B secrete a poison that
suppress the Na/K pump)
Three types: active transport animation
http://www.biology4kids.com/files/cell2_activetran.html
1. Protein Pumps1. Protein Pumps
•transport proteins that require energy to do work•Example: Na+/K+ pumps are important in nerve responses.
Sodium Potassium Pumps
Protein changes shape to move molecules: this requires energy!
Sodium-Potassium PumpSodium-Potassium Pump Pumps out 3 sodium atoms for ever 2
potassium atoms taken in against gradient in the cell.
ATP and the Na/K Pump
Animation: How the Sodium Potassium Pump Works
The H+/K+ ATPaseThe H+/K+ ATPase
The parietal cells of your stomach (lining) use this pump to secrete gastric juice.
These cells transport hydrogen ions (H+) from a concentration of about 4 x 10-8 M within the cell to a concentration of about 0.15 M in the gastric juice (giving it a pH close to 2). Recall: pH – power of the H+ ion
Small wonder that parietal cells are stuffed with mitochondria and use huge amounts of energy as they carry out this three-million fold concentration of protons.

2. Endocytosis2. Endocytosis
taking bulky material into a cell
• Uses energy• Cell membrane in-folds
around food particle• “cell eating”• forms food vacuole &
digests food• This is how white blood
cells eat bacteria!
EndocytosisEndocytosis
Endocytosis moves large particles (huge molecules or molecular conglomerates) into a cell.
endo & exocystosis animations
PhagocytosisPhagocytosis
solids Phagocytosis is another type of endocytosis
used for massive transport. Cell membrane extends out forming pseudopods
(fingerlike projections) that surround the particle. Membrane pouch encloses the material & pinches
off inside the cell making a vesicle. Vesicle can fuse with lysosomes(digestive
organelles) or release their contents (enzymes) into the vesicle, breaking it down
Animation: Phagocytosis HowStuffWorks "Phagocytosis"
Used by ameba to feed & white blood cells to kill bacteria.Known as “killer cells"
PinocytosisPinocytosis
Cell membrane surrounds fluid droplets Fluids taken into membrane-bound vesicle Known as “cell drinking”
3. Exocytosis3. Exocytosis
Moves large, complex molecules such as proteins out of the cell membrane.
Large molecules, food, or fluid droplets are packaged in membrane-bound sacs called vesicles. Cell changes shape – requires energy Ex: Hormones or wastes released from cell
Endocytosis & Exocytosis animations
•Exocytosis is used to remove large products from the cell such as wastes, mucus, & cell products such as hormones and antibodies.
•Exocytosis is the process used by our memory cells (white blood cells that produce antibodies to fight infection).
•It is also used by our gland cells to secrete hormones when needed.

Tonicity is a relative term Water molecules are so small, and there is
so much of it, that the cell can’t control it’s movement through the cell membrane.
Hypotonic SolutionHypotonic Solution
Hypotonic: The solution has a lower concentration of solutes and a higher concentration of water than inside the cell. (Low solute; High water)
Result: Water moves from the solution to inside the cell): Cell Swells and bursts open (cytolysis)!

How Organisms Deal with Osmotic PressureHow Organisms Deal with Osmotic Pressure• Salt water fish pump salt out of their specialized gills so they do not dehydrate.
• Animal cells are bathed in blood. Kidneys keep the blood isotonic by remove excess salt and water.
• Blood brain barrier allows some substances into the brain, but screens out toxins and bacteria
• Allows water, CO2, glucose, AA’s, alcohol, & antihistamines
• HIV and bacterial meningitis can also cross this barrier
How Organisms Deal with Osmotic PressureHow Organisms Deal with Osmotic Pressure
Paramecium (protist) removing excess water video
•Bacteria and plants have cell walls that prevent them from over-expanding.
• In plants the pressure exerted on the cell wall by the central vacuole is called turgor pressure. (bike tire analogy)
•A protist like paramecium has contractile vacuoles that collect water flowing in and pump it out to prevent them from over-expanding.
