• 5.2 Passive Transport Across a Membrane
• 5.3 Active Transport Across a Membrane
• 5.4 Modification of Cell Surfaces
5.1 Plasma Membrane Structure and Function
• The plasma membrane is common to all cells• Separates:
Internal cytoplasm from the external environment of the cell
• Phospholipid bilayer: External surface lined with hydrophilic polar heads Cytoplasmic surface lined with hydrophilic polar heads Nonpolar, hydrophobic, fatty-acid tails sandwiched in
between
3
Plasma Membrane Structure and Function
• Components of the Plasma Membrane Three components:
• Lipid component referred to as phospholipid bilayer• Protein molecules
– Float around like icebergs on a sea– Membrane proteins may be peripheral or integral
» Peripheral proteins are found on the inner membrane surface
» Integral proteins are partially or wholly embedded (transmembrane) in the membrane
• Cholesterol affects the fluidity of the membrane

Plasma Membrane Structure and Function
• Functions of Membrane Proteins Channel Proteins:
• Allow passage of molecules through membrane via a channel in the protein
Carrier Proteins:• Combine with the substance to be transported• Assist passage of molecules through membrane
Cell Recognition Proteins:• Glycoproteins• Help the body recognize foreign substances

• Functions of Membrane Proteins (continued) Receptor Proteins:
• Bind with specific molecules• Allow a cell to respond to signals from other cells
Enzymatic Proteins:• Carry out metabolic reactions directly
Junction Proteins:• Attach adjacent cells

How Cells Talk to One Another
• Signaling molecules serve as chemical messengers allowing cells to communicate with one another
Cell receptors bind to specific signaling molecules Once the signaling molecule and the cell receptor
bind a cascade of events occurs that elicits a cellular response
• Signal transduction pathway

2.Transduction pathway: Series of relay proteins that ends when a protein is activated.
3. Response: Targeted protein(s) bring about a cellular response.
1. Receptor: Binds to a signaling molecule, becomes activated and initiates a transduction pathway.
Plasma Membrane Structure and Function
• Permeability of the Plasma Membrane The plasma membrane is selectively permeable
• Allows some substances to move across the membrane• Inhibits passage of other molecules
Small, non-charged molecules (CO2, O2, glycerol, alcohol) freely cross the membrane by passing through the phospholipid bilayer
• These molecules follow their concentration gradient– Move from an area of high concentration to an area of
low concentration.
19
Plasma Membrane Structure and Function
• Permeability of the Plasma Membrane Water moves across the plasma membrane
• Specialized proteins termed aquaporins speed up water transport across the membrane
The movement of ions and polar molecules across the membrane is often assisted by carrier proteins
Some molecules must move against their concentration gradient with the expenditure of energy
• Active transport Large particles enter or exit the cell via bulk transport
• Exocytosis• Endocytosis

Passage of Molecules Into and out of the Cell

5.2 Passive Transport Across a Membrane
• A solution consists of: A solvent (liquid), and A solute (dissolved solid)
• Diffusion Net movement of molecules down a concentration
gradient Molecules move both ways along gradient, but net
movement is from high to low concentration Equilibrium:
• When NET movement stops• Solute concentration is uniform – no gradient

Passive Transport Across a Membrane
• Osmosis: Special case of diffusion Focuses on solvent (water) movement rather than
solute Diffusion of water across a selectively permeable
membrane• Solute concentration on one side is high, but water
concentration is low• Solute concentration on other side is low, but water
concentration is high Water can diffuse both ways across membrane but
the solute cannot Net movement of water is toward low water (high
solute) concentration• Osmotic pressure is the pressure that develops
due to osmosis

Passive Transport Across a Membrane
• Isotonic Solutions Solute and water concentrations are equal on
both sides of membrane No net gain or loss of water by the cell
• Hypotonic Solutions Concentration of solute in the solution is lower
than inside the cell Cells placed in a hypotonic solution will swell
• Causes turgor pressure in plants• May cause animal cells to lyse (rupture)
34
Passive Transport Across a Membrane
• Hypertonic Solutions Concentration of solute is higher in the
solution than inside the cell Cells placed in a hypertonic solution will
shrink • Crenation in animal cells• Plasmolysis in plant cells

In a hypertonic solution, watermainly leaves the cell, whichshrivels (crenation).
In a hypertonic solution, vacuoleslose water, the cytoplasm shrinks(plasmolysis), and chloroplastsare seen in the center of the cell.
In a hypotonic solution, vacuolesfill with water, turgor pressuredevelops, and chloroplasts areseen next to the cell wall.
In an isotonic solution, there is nonet movement of water.
In an isotonic solution, there is no netmovement of water.
In a hypotonic solution, watermainly enters the cell, which mayburst (lysis).

through the membrane lipids• These molecules must combine with carrier
proteins to move across the membrane• Follow concentration gradient, moving from high

5.3 Active Transport Across a Membrane
Active Transport• The movement of molecules against their
concentration gradient– Movement from low to high concentration
• Movement is facilitated by carrier proteins • Requires the expenditure of energy in the form of
ATP• Ex: sodium-potassium pump
– Uses ATP to move sodium ions out of the cells and potassium ions into the cell against their concentration gradients.

Active Transport Across a Membrane
• Macromolecules are transported into or out of the cell inside vesicles via bulk transport Exocytosis – Vesicles fuse with plasma membrane and
secrete contents Endocytosis – Cells engulf substances into a pouch
which becomes a vesicle• Phagocytosis – Large, solid material is taken in by endocytosis• Pinocytosis – Vesicles form around a liquid or very small
particles• Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis– Specific form of pinocytosis
using receptor proteins and a coated pit

5.4 Modifications of Cell Surfaces
• Cell Surfaces in Animals Extracellular Matrix (ECM)
• Meshwork of proteins and polysaccharides in close connection with the cell that produced them
– Collagen – resists stretching
– Elastin – provides resilience to the ECM
– Integrin – play role in cell signaling
– Proteoglycans – regulate passage of material through the ECM to the plasma membrane
