Membrane Function
Membranes
forms a boundary between a living cell and its surroundings Exhibits selective permeability
Controls traffic of molecules in and out
Membrane Function
Internal
membrane is a mosaic
Proteins and other molecules are embedded in a framework of phospholipids
membrane is fluid
Most protein and phospholipid molecules can move laterally
Membrane Structure
Phospholipid
Membrane Structure
All membranes are phospholipid bilayers with embedded proteins.
Phospholipid Bilayer Label the: Hydrophilic heads Hydrophobic tails
Embedded
and glycolipids are proteins/lipids with short chain carbohydrates attached on the extracellular side of the membrane.

Transport proteins
Passive and active
Cell-cell
recognition proteins - identify type of cell and identify a cell as self versus foreign
Integrins
The cytoskeleton attaches to integrins on the cytoplasmic side of the membrane Integrins strengthen the membrane
Intercellular
Many
Signal
transduction (receptor) proteins bind hormones and other substances on the outside of the cell.

Facilitated Diffusion
In
facilitated diffusion small polar molecules and ions diffuse through passive transport proteins.
No energy needed Most passive transport proteins are solute specific Example: glucose enter/leaves cells through facilitated diffusion
Facilitated Diffusion
Higher concentration of
Lower concentration
Osmosis
diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane Water moves from an area of _______ water concentration to an area of _____ water conc.
Osmosis
Is energy required ?
Water
Osmosis Terms
Consider two solutions separated by a plasma membrane. Hypertonic
solution with a relatively high concentration of solute solution with a relatively low concentration of solute solutions with the same solute concentration

Osmosis Summary
When
Cell gains water through osmosis Animal cell lyses; plant cell becomes turgid (firm)
When
Cell loses water through osmosis Animal cell shrivels; plant cell plasmolyzes
Active Transport
Active
transport proteins move substances across the PM against their concentration gradient.
Requires energy (ATP) Active transport proteins are highly selective Active transport is needed for proper functioning of nerves and muscles
Active Transport of X
X enters the channel and binds to functional groups inside the transport protein. Cytoplasmic ATP binds to the transport protein
Active Transport of X
The energized transport protein changes shape and releases X on the other side of the cell. The phosphate group is released from the transport protein and it resumes its original shape. Process repeats.

Bulk Flow
Vesicles
Types:
Exocytosis
Fluid outside cell
Vesicle
Protein
Cytoplasm
Bulk Flow
Exocytosis
Cytoplasmic vesicle merges with the PM and releases its contents Example:
Golgi body vesicles merge with the PM an release their contents How nerve cells release neurotransmittors
Endocytosis
Vesicle forming
Endocytosis
Endocytosis
PM sinks inward, pinches off and forms a vesicle Vesicle often merges with Golgi for processing and sorting of its contents
Endocytosis - terms
Phagocytosis
cell eating
Membrane sinks in and captures solid particles for transport into the cell Examples: Solid particles often include: bacteria, cell debris, or food
Pinocytosis
cell drinking
Endocytosis - comments
Phagocytosis
selective
Membrane sinks inward and captures whatever particles/fluid present. Vesicle forms and merges with the Golgi body

Receptor proteins on PM bind specific substances (vitamins, hormones..) Membrane sinks in and forms a pit
Called a coated pit
