Cell Transport
TEKS
• (4) Science concepts. The student knows that cells are the basic structures of all living things with specialized parts that perform specific functions and that viruses are different from cells. The student is expected to:
• (B) investigate and explain cellular processes, including homeostasis, energy conversions, transport of molecules, and synthesis of new molecules

Plasma (Cell) Membrane (Phospholipid Bilayer)
• Outer boundary of cytoplasm
• Semipermiable (only certain molecules enter
& leave)

Phospholipid bilayer
• A double layer that is an effective barrier for most molecules
• Hydrophobic = “water fearing” tails in the center, prevent most things from entering
• Hydrophilic = “water loving” heads attract water to edges of membrane

Fluid Mosaic Model
• Cell membranes are mosaics that contain many different molecules like proteins, cholesterol, glycoproteins, etc.
Proteins embedded in membranes can be:
• Channels “gates” to interior for transporting into & out of cytoplasm
• Receptors “windows” for gathering information about cell surroundings
• Markers “name tags” that identify type of cell to others
Membranes are Selectively permeable
• The plasma membrane enables only certain molecules to enter or exit the cell.
• Why is this important?
Surface to volume ratio
• Why are larger organisms are multicellular? Why aren’t they just one big ol’ cell?
• Because materials must be transported across cell membranes, maximizing the amount of membrane surface area increases transport efficiency.
Comparing surface area to volume(Complete the calculations with your table partner and be ready to share)
• Surface area: 6 mm x 6 mm x 6 sides = ___ mm2
• Volume: ___ mm3
• S / V = ___
• Surface area: 3 mm x 3 mm x 6 sides x 8 cubes = ___ mm2
• Volume = ___ mm3
• S / V = ___
Types of passive transport
• Diffusion
• random spread of molecules from higher to lower concentration
• Examples?
Types of transport across membranes
1. Diffusion (Simple Diffusion) movement from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
2. Facilitated diffusionlarge molecules (ie. Glucose or water) move through protein channels in the cell membrane.
3. Active transportmovement of molecules against the concentration gradient – requires cellular energy
current
(Concentration gradient)
Passive or Active transport?
Passive vs Active transport:which requires energy output?
Diffusion across a membrane
In which pictures do we see the greatest gradient?
In which pictures do we see equilibrium?
Osmosis across a membrane
Osmosis
• Diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane from higher water purity to lower water purity
• When solutions of varying water concentrations are found across a membrane, the solutions are given names.
• Hypertonic
• Hypotonic
• Isotonic
Types of osmotic solutionsHypotonic
• High water purity & less solutes = water moves in & cell expands and may burst (Cytolysis)
Isotonic
• Equal solutes & water, so equal movement of water into and out of the cell
Hypertonic
• Low water purity because of more solutes = water moves out & cell shrinks (Plasmolysis)

Types of Active Transport
Endocytosis
• cell brings moleculesin.
Pinocytosis
• Liquids are brought in.
Phagocytosis• Phage means to “eat”
• large particles (food or bacteria) are surrounded & engulfed by cell.
• Examples = an ameba feeding &
a white blood cell destroying an invader.
Why are white blood cells called MacroPhages?
“Cell eating”
Exocytosis
cell deposits particles outside of
cytoplasm
• Secretion = cell products given off
• Excretion = wastes products given off
The Big Idea: Cell structure is related to it’s function
• All cells are different.
• Cell specialization → different cells have different jobs.
• Each cell serves different needs.
• Diversity on a individual scale helps stabilize the organism
• Diversity on a large scale helps stabilize the ecosystem
