Cell Membrane Separate cells from environment. Allow cells to create internal compartments to maximize efficiency (compartments=organelles) Very specific about what substances they allow to cross them.
Factors that cell membranes are fussy about - size - polarity - charge Small molecules with no charge cross most easily. Large and/or charged particles are tightly regulated.
Fluid mosaic model The molecules that make up the cell membrane move around continuously. Proteins and other molecules bob around in the bi-layer. Called fluid mosaic model because fluid: movement and mosaic: interspersed with proteins and other molecules.
Structure of cell membrane Phospho-lipid bilayer interspersed with other molecules.
Phospholipid Bi-layer Hydrophilic head- turns and faces the outside- attracted to water. Hydrophobic tail, faces the middle.
Simple Diffusion Particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Small, uncharged particles are able to use this method. Does not require energy
Facilitated Diffusion Similar to simple diffusion except that the particles move through transport/carrier protein to reach the other side. Particles tend to be larger and more polar or charged. Still move down the concentration gradient. no energy required.
Active Transport Particles must move through transport proteins. Move against conc. gradient., DOES require energy in the form of ATP.
Endocytosis Movement of large particles or bulk quantities into a cell. part of cell membrane forms a vesicle around a particle then moves into cytosol. REQUIRES energy.
Exocytosis Bulk transport out of cell, requires energy
Osmosis Movement of water molecules from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration. Does NOT require energy
Solution gradient forms
