What is the membrane made of?
![Page 6: Membrane Structures and Functions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/58f1dd061a28abfa7d8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Cell Membranes are Fluid Cell Membranes are Fluid Mosaics of Lipids & ProteinsMosaics of Lipids & Proteins
*Phospholipids are amphipathic-both hydrophobic & hydrophilic
Bilayer of phospholipids
![Page 7: Membrane Structures and Functions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/58f1dd061a28abfa7d8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Cholesterol (a type of steroid – a lipid) helps with membrane fluidity
![Page 8: Membrane Structures and Functions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/58f1dd061a28abfa7d8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Membrane Proteins Integral proteins –
span the entire width of the phospholipid bilayer
Peripheral proteins – loosely bound to the surface of the membrane

So…
![Page 11: Membrane Structures and Functions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/58f1dd061a28abfa7d8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
How is the plasma membrane selectively
permeable?
![Page 12: Membrane Structures and Functions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/58f1dd061a28abfa7d8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Permeability of the Lipid Bilayer
Small nonpolar (hydrophobic) molecules can pass freely across the membrane

![Page 13: Membrane Structures and Functions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/58f1dd061a28abfa7d8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Larger or polar substances need the help of transport proteins
![Page 14: Membrane Structures and Functions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/58f1dd061a28abfa7d8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Transport ProteinsTransport proteins are just as selective as the lipid bilayer.
Two types of transport proteins:1. Channel Proteins- a hydrophilic tunnel through which hydrophilic molecules & ions can pass through
2. Carrier Proteins- Hold onto molecules and change shape in a way that shuttles them across the membrane
What kind of molecules will the transport proteins help moved across the membrane? Why?
![Page 15: Membrane Structures and Functions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/58f1dd061a28abfa7d8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
So…
• Explain why we say the membrane is selectively permeable
![Page 16: Membrane Structures and Functions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/58f1dd061a28abfa7d8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The varied roles of membrane proteins
![Page 17: Membrane Structures and Functions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/58f1dd061a28abfa7d8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Various Membrane Protein Functions
Cell-to-cell recognition Intercellular junctions (gap
junctions, tight junctions) Receptor for a chemical
signal
Transport Enzymes Attachment to the cytoskeleton
![Page 18: Membrane Structures and Functions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/58f1dd061a28abfa7d8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Carbohydrates are important in cell-to-cell recognition
Glycolipids – polysaccharide bonded to lipid Glycoproteins – polysaccharide bonded to protein
![Page 19: Membrane Structures and Functions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/58f1dd061a28abfa7d8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
So…
• Identify the primary roles of membrane proteins
![Page 20: Membrane Structures and Functions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/58f1dd061a28abfa7d8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Putting it all together Read the case study on cystic fibrosis and
answer the accompanying questions.
![Page 21: Membrane Structures and Functions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/58f1dd061a28abfa7d8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Membrane TransportPassive Transport
![Page 22: Membrane Structures and Functions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/58f1dd061a28abfa7d8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Passive Transport is Diffusion of a Substance Across a Membrane With No Energy Requirement
Molecules (above 0 K) are always in motion
Diffusion is the tendency for molecules to move down their concentration gradient until a dynamic equilibrium is reached.
![Page 23: Membrane Structures and Functions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/58f1dd061a28abfa7d8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Osmosis
Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules from areas of high (free) water concentration to areas of lower concentration
![Page 24: Membrane Structures and Functions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/58f1dd061a28abfa7d8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Quick Think Oxygen & carbon dioxide can cross
the lipid bilayer without help from membrane proteins. What properties allow this to occur?
Water sometimes needs the help of a transport protein (aquaporins) to cross the membrane. Why?
![Page 25: Membrane Structures and Functions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/58f1dd061a28abfa7d8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

There are 3 states of tonicity when comparing two solutions:2. Hypertonic: A solution that is relatively hypertonic contains more non-penetrating solutes than the solution that it is being compared to
Hyper = More

Quick Think Where will water move and why?1. A cell placed in a 10% salt solution (that’s very
salty).
2. A cell placed in distilled water.
3. A cell placed in an isotonic solution.
The inside of the cell is ________ compared to the outside of the cell because it has more/fewer/same solutes dissolved in solution so water will move _____________________
![Page 29: Membrane Structures and Functions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/58f1dd061a28abfa7d8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Water Balance of Cells Water Balance of Cells WithoutWithout Walls e.g. Animal CellsWalls e.g. Animal Cells
Osmoregulation- The control of water balance within a cell.Various methods of osmoregulation are present in organisms that are specially adapted to living in hypertonic or hypotonic environments:
Contractile Vacuole
![Page 30: Membrane Structures and Functions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/58f1dd061a28abfa7d8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Quick Think If a Paramecium were to swim from a hypotonic
environment to an isotonic one, would the activity of its contractile vacuole increase or decrease? Why?
![Page 31: Membrane Structures and Functions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/58f1dd061a28abfa7d8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
![Page 32: Membrane Structures and Functions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/58f1dd061a28abfa7d8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Water Balance of Cells Water Balance of Cells WithWith Walls e.g. Walls e.g. Plant CellsPlant Cells
…Prokaryotes & Fungi Too!Hypotonic solutions, like rain, cause turgor (firmness) in plants because the cell wall pushes back against the intake of additional water after a certain point:
Turgor= nice, healthy plantWhen plant cells are isotonic with theirenvironment, they become flaccid
![Page 33: Membrane Structures and Functions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/58f1dd061a28abfa7d8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Water Balance of Cells Water Balance of Cells WithWith Walls e.g. PlantsWalls e.g. Plants
In hypertonic solutions, cells with walls experience plasmolysis- they lose water to their environment until the cell membrane shrivels & pulls away from the cell wall. The result is a wilted & possibly dead plant (or other organism)

Facilitated Diffusion: Passive Facilitated Diffusion: Passive Transport Aided by ProteinsTransport Aided by Proteins
Facilitated diffusion is the use of transport proteins, like channel & carrier proteins, to speed up the diffusion of molecules across a membrane.
A specific type of channel proteins are ion channels which are often gated channels-the presence of a stimulus causes them to open/close
Example- the presence of a certain neuro-transmitter, like acetylcholine, would cause the gated channels of a nerve cell to open and let Na+ into the cell

Bulk Transport Bulk Transport Across the Plasma Across the Plasma Membrane Occurs by Exocytosis & Membrane Occurs by Exocytosis &
EndocytosisEndocytosisExocytosis: Transport vesicles from golgi apparatus move to cell membrane. The vesicle membrane fuses with the cell Membrane, and the contents is expelled out of the cell
![Page 44: Membrane Structures and Functions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/58f1dd061a28abfa7d8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Endocytosis: A section of the plasma membrane sinks inward & pinches off to form a vesicle that transports materials into the cell; Three kinds:
Phagocytosis: “Cell eating”Pseudopodia of the cell membrane “reach out” & engulf particles. These particles are then digested when a vacuole fuses with a lysosomePinocytosis: “Cell drinking”Part of the cell membrane caves in and gulps extracellular fluid & the molecules dissolved in it
Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis:Allows for the bulk transport of specific extracellular particles. The vesicle forms only when certain ligands bind to receptor proteins on the cell membrane.
![Page 45: Membrane Structures and Functions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/58f1dd061a28abfa7d8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Quick Think The carbohydrates attached to some of
the proteins and lipids of the cell membrane are added as the membrane is made and refined in the ER and Golgi. The new membrane then forms transport vesicles that travel to the cell surface. On which side of the vesicle membrane are the carbohydrates?
