Types of Transport Across Cell Membranes
3
Simple Diffusion

• Requires NO energy
• Molecules move from area of HIGH to LOW
  concentration

4
DIFFUSION

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

5
Diffusion of Liquids
6
Diffusion through a Membrane

Cell membrane
Solute moves DOWN concentration gradient (HIGH to
LOW)
7
Osmosis
Diffusion across a membrane

• Diffusion of water across a membrane
• Moves from HIGH water potential (low solute) to
  LOW water potential (high solute)

Semipermeable membrane

Diffusion of H2O Across A Membrane
High H2O potentialLow solute concentration
Low H2O potentialHigh solute concentration

Three Forms of Transport Across the Membrane
18
Passive Transport

• Simple Diffusion
• Doesnt require energy
• Moves high to low concentration
• Example Oxygen or water diffusing into a cell
  and carbon dioxide diffusing out.

19
Passive Transport

• Facilitated diffusion
• Doesnt require energy
• Uses transport proteins to move high to low
  concentration
• Examples Glucose or amino acids moving from
  blood into a cell.

20
Proteins Are Critical to Membrane Function
21
Types of Transport Proteins

• 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

22
Facilitated Diffusion
Molecules will randomly move through the pores in
Channel Proteins.
23
Facilitated Diffusion

• Some Carrier proteins do not extend through the
  membrane.
• They bond and drag molecules through the lipid
  bilayer and release them on the opposite side.

24
Carrier Proteins

• Other carrier proteins change shape to move
  materials across the cell membrane

25
Active Transport

• Requires energy or ATP
• Moves materials from LOW to HIGH concentration
• AGAINST concentration gradient

26
Active transport

• Examples Pumping Na (sodium ions) out and K
  (potassium ions) in against strong concentration
  gradients.
• Called Na-K Pump

27
Sodium-Potassium Pump
3 Na pumped in for every 2 K pumped out
creates a membrane potential
28
Moving the Big Stuff
Exocytosis- moving things out.
Molecules are moved out of the cell by vesicles
that fuse with the plasma membrane.
This is how many hormones are secreted and how
nerve cells communicate with one another.
29
Exocytosis
30
Moving the Big Stuff
Large molecules move materials into the cell by
one of three forms of endocytosis.
31
Pinocytosis
Most common form of endocytosis.
Takes in dissolved molecules as a vesicle.
32
Pinocytosis

• Cell forms an invagination
• Materials dissolve in water to be brought into
  cell
• Called Cell Drinking

33
Example of Pinocytosis

34
Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis
Some integral proteins have receptors on their
surface to recognize take in hormones,
cholesterol, etc.
35
Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis
36
Endocytosis Phagocytosis
Used to engulf large particles such as food,
bacteria, etc. into vesicles
Called Cell Eating

39
Exocytosis The opposite of endocytosis is
exocytosis. Large molecules that are manufactured
in the cell are released through the cell
membrane.
