3 types of active transport: -
1. active transport pumps 2.
endocytosis (out) 3.
exocytosis (in)
endocytosis- cell uses
vesicles to move
extremly large
substances into cells
exocytosis - cell
uses vesicles to
move large
amounts of
substances out of
cell
active transport pump- proteins that use ATP energy to
transport molecules into or out of the cell membrane,
against the consentration gradient. Example of Active
Transport Pump is the sodium - potassium pump
passive transport
molecues moving through the
membrane from high to low
concentrations without
energy
NO ENERGY
high --> low
there are 3 types
of passive
transport. - 1.
simple diffusion-
small nonpolar
2. facilitated
diffusion- large
polar 3. osmosis-
water
simple diffusion- small non polar molcules
that are able to move through the
membrane towards a low concentration til equilibrium
facilitated diffusion- the movement of a large
polar or polar molecule through the cell
membrane with the help of transport
proteins
2 types of transport proteins
1) channel proteins act like a tunnel
2) carrier proteins grab molecules and moves them through
the membrane
osmosis- the movement of water through the cell membrane. Water can move in
3 ways in relation to the cell membrane
1) hypertonic: water moves OUT.
-more solute (salt) outside the cell
than inside so water moves out. -cell
shrivels, wrinkles, and shrinks
eventually
2) hypotonic: water moves IN
-more solute (salt) inside the cell
than outside so water moves in
-cell swells and could potentially
burst/pop
3) isotonic: equal net
movement. -equalibrium is
met; call stays the same
size -there is an equal
amount of solute inside and
outside of the cell
structure of Cellmembrane
the cell membrane is primarily
composed of 3 different organic
compounds. 1)phospholipids
2)proteins 3)carbohydrates
phospholipids- a specialized lipid used
in the formation of the cell
membrane. Consist of two parts.
Phosphate head- polar. Fatty acid
tails- non-polar
lipid bilayer: two of phospholipids. -nonpolar tails point inwards
-polar heads to the inside and exterior of the cell
*why do the tails all point inwards and the heads point outwards?
- heads are polar so they attract water and tails are nonpolar so
they repel water
- hydrophobic is the repulsion of water
-hydrophilic is the attraction to water
proteins- 2 major classifications of membrane proteins. 1) integral
transport proteins- tubes that allow large substances into and out of
the cell 2) receptor proteins- do not have a tubular opening and can be
integral or peripheral. Used to sense cell surrounds
carbohydrates- extend outward from the
cell membrane and work like "cell name
tags". Will only be found on the outside.
they are green, hexagon shape, and stick out on the top or bottom
the cell membrane controls the movement
of molecules into and out of the cell to
maintain homeostasis
homeostasis is the ability of living
organisms to control and maintain a
stable internal enviorment
this property is called semi- permeable and allows for homeostasis
The cell membrane controls what can
and cannot enter the cell
concentration gradient- when molecules in a
given space are not dispersed evenly
molecules in a concentraion gradient will always naturally (without energy) move to obtain equilibrium
concentration: the amount
of something in a given
space are not dispersed
evenly
