Cell (plasma) membrane

Double membrane of phospholipids called phospholipid by layer

Cell plasma membrane


why the bilayer forms

Hydrophilic heads happily face H2L in either direction


Hydrophobic tails reject H2O but they’re only stable configuration is to face each other creating a water free zone is the middle

Fluid Mosaic model selectively permeable

Consistency of a cell membrane phospholipids aren’t attached to each other they float around Freely consistency like olive oil


Are there holes in the membrane (yes and no) Phospholipids can be pushed aside by a small enough molecule creating a temporary hold channel proteins create permanent holes for selected substances

Facilitated diffusion


(to help)

Passive transport of substances across the cell membrane but to watch the phospholipids in the cell membrane Are impermeable - with the help of transport proteins that grab the substance on one side of the cell membrane and release it on the other side the energy for the transport proteins comes from the kinetic energy In the system (no extra energy needed)

Solvent what does the dissolving

Solute is what gets dissolved

Osmosis

To understand osmosis you must first know the definition of a solution A mixture no chemical bonds between two substances can be any number of substances in which the solvent (water) is not affected but it basically breaks down the salute (sugar) into its smallest parts (ions Atoms or molecules) which remain suspended and evenly spaced and indefinitely

Osmosis #2

Diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane in response to a difference in solute concentration on either side of the membrane


The membrane is permeable to water (the solvent) but is impermeable to what is dissolved in the water (the solute)


Water moves in response to a difference in the concentration of solute’s (and therefore of water) on either side of the membrane


Water moves from the side in which it is more concentrated to the side in which it is less concentrated


since the membrane is impermeable to the solute the solute does not move across

Osmotic pressure

The ability of a solution to draw water across a selectively permeable membrane from another solution


Measured as the pressure of the water flowing across the membrane


the greater the difference in the solute concentration on either side of the membrane the higher the osmotic pressure is on that membrane

Isotonic solutions

Two or more solutions with the same solute concentrations


Red blood cells must be isotonic to blood plasma to maintain a healthy shape

Hypertonic solutions

Solution a is hypertonic to solution be if solution A has a higher solute concentration then B


If a red blood cell floating in blood plasma or for a plant cell surrounded by some fluid both the cytoplasm of the cell and the surrounding liquid or solutions in the following cases the cell is hypertonic to the surrounding liquid


If a red blood cell is hypertonic to the plasma it will swell and burst because being hypertonic to the plasma the red blood cell has a higher concentration of the solute’s and a correspondingly lower concentration of water which results in water diffuses into the cell from the plasma

Hemolysis

Bursting of a hypertonic red blood cell (can kill you)

Lysis

Bursting of any hypertonic animal cell explode or blow up


If a plant cell is hypertonic to the surrounding liquid the cell will swell but it will not burst the cell will gain water and the cell membrane will push up against Reason: the cell wall which is strong enough to contain the liquid without bursting we say the plant cell has increased it turgor pressure or has become more turgid

What keeps phospholipids from bunching up?

Cholesterol this is a slippery molecule and it breaks up log jams of phospholipids helps to spread out

What keeps phospholipids from bunching up #2


(Fluid Mosaic model)

Crooked tails on phospholipidsThis makes phospholipids asymmetrical which prevents them from packing to densely double bonds make this Bend

Embedded with proteins with various functions


(Fluid Mosaic model)

Channel proteins This is in bedded in the bilayer and has a hole through it with a specific shape only allowing certain substances to pass permanent hall and membrane which allow certain things to pass through


Transport proteins on it’s receiving end if a molecule bangs into it with the proper shape (lock and key model) the Protein closes on the other end Letting the molecules through


Hormone receptors The shape of proteins receiving And must match the hormone shape lock and key once the hormone makes contact the protein releases a small molecule which diffuses into the nucleus turns on a gene and initiate a metabolic reaction


Cell surface markers (antigens) (flag )


cell adhesion


attached to cytoskeleton

Functions of the cell membrane

Communication with other cells and self identification


cell surface markers


a.k.a. antigens


mostly made of proteins identify cell as to tissue type in as belonging to a particular individual


organelle membranes do not have these


These keep the body from having an immune response against itself (roving antibodies and tissues check out a cells cells surface markers and attack it if the wrong Type)

Functions of the cell membrane #2

Receptors and cell membrane Also made of proteins


receive hormones are (chemical messengers) from other cells which tell this cell what to do (such as speed up Metabolism)


Cell membranes give the cell shape and protection


Cell membranes are selectively permeable


Phospholipids are permeable to substances soluble In lipids (example substances without a charge like steroids vitamins A D E K)


Small molecules CO2 O2 and H2O with little or no charge

Functions of the cell membrane #3

Phospholipids are impermeable to


large molecules (proteins) & carbohydrates and charged particles (ions)


Protein channels and transporters both are proteins that span the cell membrane both carry substances across the membrane that phospholipids are in permeable to both are highly selective about what they will let

Passive movement

Relies on kinetic energy already in the system


kinetic energy is energy that causes matter to move like body heat (riding a bike down a hill)


BrownianMovement Heat causes particles to randomly shake and collide with each other


diffuse the collisions caused the particles to spread out

Active movement like riding a bike up a hill

Additional energy (besides the kinetic energy in the system) is required to move the particles across the cell membrane


the energy comes directly from ATP (ultimately from glucose or other food sources converted into glucose)


ATP Gives energy to other molecules to get work done

Passive movement simple diffusion

Spreading of particles from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration


as they defuse the particles move down there concentration gradient


diffusion occurs with or without a membrane it will only occur across a membrane that is permeable to the diffusing substance Particles continue to diffuse across a membrane until both sides of the membrane or in equilibrium particle -concentrations are equal on both sides

Hypotonic solutions

Solution a is hypotonic to solution be if solution A has a lower solute concentration then B


Note again both the cell and the surrounding liquid are solutions in this case the cell is hypotonic to it surroundings


If a red blood cell is hypo tonic to plasma it will lose water and shrink


Reason: Being hypotonic to the plasma the red blood cell has a lower concentration of solute’s and a correspondingly higher concentration of water


result: water diffuses out of the cell and into the plasma

Plasmolysis


Hypotonic solutions

If a plant so is hypotonic to it surroundings the plant will lose water the cell membrane shrinks in from the cell wall which keeps its shape Called plasmolysis


we say the cell has lost its turgor pressure or has become flaccid (on the tissue level this is equivalent to a leaf wilting)

Active movement active transport

(Heat energy is not enough) works just like facilitated diffusion (transport proteins carry impermeable substances across the cell membrane) but the substances Cross the membrane against their concentration gradients example From low to high concentration (needs a push) from ATP


requires energy from ATP (40% of a cells ATP goes to active transport)


ATP is energizing proteins by pumping out of cell

Difference between the two processes

Facilitated difference is pass it only requires heat energy active transport move substances move from high to low concentration ATP is energizing proteins by pumping out of cell

Bulk transport

Bulk transport across the cell membrane movement of large molecules are particles in either direction across the membrane


Note: because the cell membrane is changing shape this requires extra energy from ATP in there for qualifies as active movement

Endocytosis

Engulfment of large molecules or particles by a cell membrane changing shape to surround them

Phagocytosis

Engulfment of large particles (can be a smaller cell)


pseudopods (false feet) or formed to engulf the object


amoebas feed this way , some white blood cells do it to bacteria and cancer cells

Pinocytosis


(take in)

Engulfment of droplets of extracellular fluid containing various large molecules


Call cell drinking No pseudopods formed


Happens in cells of placenta embryo drinks in mothers fluids

Receptor mediated endocytosis

Exactly like Pinot cytosis which is non-specific as to what it absorbs except here receptors in “coated pits “ bind with specific molecules dissolved in the solution outside of the cell


Drops of the solution are then engulfed

Exocytosis (exit)


Pinocytosis in reverse

Opposite of endocytosis substances are brought out of the cell


happens when things like hormones enzymes or mucus are secreted from a cell


Exocytosis releases droplets of liquid on a cellular level the same processes

Tight junctions


Cell junctions

Random patterns of short rivet like proteins press two membranes tightly together result slows diffusion between cells found where cells of different tissues meet so they don’t mix their contents

Gap junctions opposite


Cell junctions

Channel proteins line up between two membranes creating holes between cells result speeds up diffusion between cells found between Hartsell’s so ions shoot across and cause cells to contract simultaneously

Plasmodesmata


Cell junctions

Gap junction between plant cells: piece 2 cell membranes and 2 cell walls useful in transporting H2O and SAP up and down the plant

Cell junctions desmosomes

Strongest junction of all four kinds


Rod like proteins peace through the cells to be joined


found in areas of great where in tear like between muscle cells
