Hydrophobic molecules pass easily; hydrophilic DO NOT

The cell membrane is made of 2 layers of phospholipidphospholipids called the lipid bilayerbilayer

SolubilitySolubility•Materials

that are soluble in lipids can pass through the cell membrane easily

Small molecules and larger hydrophobic molecules move through easily.e.g. O2, CO2, H2O

Ions, hydrophilic molecules larger than water, and large molecules such as proteins do not move through the membrane on their own.

Simple DiffusionSimple Diffusion

• Requires NONO energy

• Molecules move from area of HIGH HIGH to LOWto LOW concentration

DIFFUSIONDIFFUSION

Diffusion is a PASSIVEPASSIVE process which means no energy is used to make the molecules move, they have a natural KINETIC ENERGY

Types of Transport Types of Transport ProteinsProteins

• Channel proteins are embedded in the cell membrane & have a pore for materials to cross

• Carrier proteins can change shape to move material from one side of the membrane to the other
