Cell Membrane

cells maintain homeostasis by controlling the movement of substances across the cell membrane

A lipid bilayer forms the cell membrane

polar head

non-polar tail

3

Types of Membrane Proteins

cell-surface markers: name tag for the cell

receptor proteins: enable (=allow) cell to sense surroundings

enzymes: catalyze (=speed up) reactions

transport proteins: help substances move in and out of the cell

4

Passive Transportdiffusion: movement of particles from regions of higher density to regions of lower density.

5

Osmosis

allows cells to maintain water balance

hypertonic: more solutes in, water will move out

hypotonic: lower solute concentration, water will move in

isotonic: no change in concentration

6

Passive Transport

facilitated diffusion: transport proteins help substances diffuse through the cell membrane

channel proteins (pore): serve as a tunnel for substances

carrier proteins: bind to a substance to help it get across the 7

Active Transport

requires energy to move substances across concentration gradients

sodium-potassium pump: pumps excess sodium out of cell; osmosis will occur without pump

9

Vesicles

endocytosis: movement of large substances into a cell using a vesicle

exocytosis: movement of large substances out of a cell using a vesicle
