CELL MEMBRANE
2
New cards
- A vital component of all living cells, which separates the cell's contents
3
New cards
from the outside environment.
4
New cards
- Semi-permeable phospholipid bilayer, allowing the entry and exit of
5
New cards
certain molecules while blocking other molecules; selectively permeable.
6
New cards
- Other functions of the cell membrane:
7
New cards
o Physical barrier
8
New cards
o Communication and signaling
9
New cards
o Nutrient uptake and waste removal
10
New cards
o Cell shape and stability
11
New cards
o Cell-cell interactions

1. PASSIVE TRANSPORT
19
New cards
o A type of cellular transport that moves substances across the cell
20
New cards
membrane without the need for energy expenditure.
21
New cards
o Occurs along the concentration gradient, which is the difference in
22
New cards
concentration of a substance between two areas, particularly from
23
New cards
an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
24
New cards
o No net movement will occur after the solute molecules have
25
New cards
reached dynamic equilibrium where the molecules continue to
26
New cards
cross the membrane in both directions but at equal rates.
27
New cards
o There are three types:
28
New cards
i. Simple Diffusion - net movement of a substance from an
29
New cards
area of higher concentration to an area of lower
30
New cards
concentration
31
New cards
▪ Does not require the input of energy. The concentration
32
New cards
gradient alone is sufficient to drive the movement of
33
New cards
molecules
34
New cards
▪ Molecules move freely and randomly, colliding with each
35
New cards
other and spreading out to achieve a uniform distribution
36
New cards
▪ Involved in various biological processes, such as the
37
New cards
delivery of oxygen, water, and other small molecules to
38
New cards
cells in the body
39
New cards
▪ Factors that affect simple diffusion:
40
New cards
● Temperature – higher temperatures, faster diffusion
41
New cards
● Concentration gradient – greater difference in
42
New cards
gradient, faster diffusion
43
New cards
● Molecular size and weight – smaller molecules
44
New cards
diffuse faster
45
New cards
● Solubility – more soluble molecules in a solvent
46
New cards
diffuse quicker
47
New cards
● Membrane permeability – membranes that are more
48
New cards
permeable to a particular molecule will allow for faster
49
New cards
diffusion

56
New cards
ii. Facilitated Diffusion - allows molecules to move across a
57
New cards
cell membrane with the help of specific transmembrane
58
New cards
integral proteins
59
New cards
▪ Does not require energy
60
New cards
▪ Transport proteins assist in the diffusion of molecules,
61
New cards
either by carrier proteins or channel proteins.
62
New cards
● Carrier proteins – bind to specific molecules and
63
New cards
undergo a conformational or shape change, which
64
New cards
allows the molecule to pass across the proteins. Ex.
65
New cards
Glucose transporter
66
New cards
● Channel proteins – form pores or channels which
67
New cards
allow specific molecules to pass across the
68
New cards
membrane. Ex. Aquaporins
69
New cards
▪ Factors that affect facilitated diffusion:
70
New cards
● Concentration gradient – greater difference in
71
New cards
gradient, faster rate of diffusion
72
New cards
● Temperature – higher temperatures, faster diffusion
73
New cards
rates

80
New cards
● Saturation – once all transport proteins are in use,
81
New cards
maximum rate of diffusion is achieved and cannot
82
New cards
increase further
83
New cards
● Selectivity – each channel or carrier protein can only
84
New cards
transport specific molecules
85
New cards
iii. Osmosis - diffusion of solvent, usually water molecules,
86
New cards
across a selectively permeable membrane, driven by the
87
New cards
concentration gradient
88
New cards
▪ Osmotic pressure – pressure of a solution needed to keep
89
New cards
it in equilibrium with pure water
90
New cards
▪ Passive process; does not require energy
91
New cards
▪ Occurs across a selectively permeable membrane, which
92
New cards
allows the passage of water molecules but restricts the
93
New cards
passage of solutes
94
New cards
▪ Regulates water balance in cells and uptake of water in
95
New cards
plant roots
96
New cards
▪ Factors that affect osmosis:
97
New cards
● Concentration gradient – the greater the difference
98
New cards
of concentrations, the faster the rate of osmosis
99
New cards
● Temperature – an increase in temperature increases
100
New cards
the rate of osmosis
