Cell Transport: moving things in and out of the cell
Material that surrounds all cells and certain organelles within the cell
- location of plasma membrane gives it more specialized name like cell membrane, nuclear membrane etc.
Plasma membrane:

Cell Transport
Phospholipid – primary molecule in the cell membrane consisting of two parts
Remember the Triglycerides?What’s the difference between them and a phospholipid?
Phosphate Group (POLAR)
Fatty Acid Tails (NON POLAR)
![Page 3: Cell Transport: moving things in and out of the cell](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816690550346895dda6b3e/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Phospholipids and Polarity• Fatty acid tails are
non-polar. – Hydrophobic
(water-haters)• Phosphate heads
are polar– Hydrophilic
(water-lovers)

Plasma Membrane Structure• 1. Phospholipid Bi-layer• 2. Proteins
– Transmembrane– Integral– Peripheral
• 3. Carbohydrate Chains• 4. Cholesterol

Membrane Model• Membrane as a whole is often described
as a fluid mosaic – two-dimensional fluid of freely diffusing lipids,
dotted or embedded with proteins
– Think of the lipid bi-layer as a body of water with various proteins and associated carbohydrate chains moving around.
- Proteins can change location by moving through the phospolipids.

Movement of substances through the membrane
May be • PASSIVE– requires no energy
expenditure by cell.– Diffusion and Osmosis– Facilitated diffusion
• ACTIVE– does require energy expenditure– Why?– Ex. Transport Proteins, Bulk Transport
![Page 11: Cell Transport: moving things in and out of the cell](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816690550346895dda6b3e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Diffusion- Molecules will move from areas of high
concentration to areas of lesser concentration (concentration gradient)
- Due to random collisions of molecules– If occurs across a membrane, the membrane
must be permeable to the substance.• Size is a major factor• Electrical charges• Polar vs non-polar
![Page 12: Cell Transport: moving things in and out of the cell](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816690550346895dda6b3e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Factors that affect permeability:
![Page 13: Cell Transport: moving things in and out of the cell](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816690550346895dda6b3e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Diffusion (cont.)• Movement of particles (solute) from
high to low concentration will continue until there is an even distribution of particles.
• This is called equilibrium.• Particles move across the membrane
randomly at equilibrium. (In other words, movement still happens, just no NET MOVEMENT!)
![Page 14: Cell Transport: moving things in and out of the cell](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816690550346895dda6b3e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Special Type of Diffusion - Osmosis• Diffusion of water across a selectively permeable
membrane• Water moves from a high concentration of water
(less salt or sugar dissolved in it) to a low concentration of water (more salt or sugar dissolved in it)
![Page 15: Cell Transport: moving things in and out of the cell](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816690550346895dda6b3e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Tonicity• When comparing the concentrations of
2 solutions:• Isotonic – same concentration of solute• Hypertonic – higher concentration of
solute• Hypotonic – lower concentration of
solute

Osmotic Pressure Effects on Cells• Inside of cells are usually hypertonic to fresh water
(hypotonic)• Animals cells tend to be surrounded by isotonic
solutions (blood, saliva, etc)• Plant cells have tough cellulose cell walls that
protect them from over-expanding
![Page 20: Cell Transport: moving things in and out of the cell](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816690550346895dda6b3e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Facilitated Diffusion• Charged particles and some molecules
can move passively through protein channels. Glucose is a great example of a molecule that enters cells via facilitated diffusion
• Important to note that this is still happening through the process of diffusion using the concentration gradient to move molecules in/out of cell.– Energy Not Needed!
![Page 22: Cell Transport: moving things in and out of the cell](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816690550346895dda6b3e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Facilitated Diffusion• Those molecules which cannot move freely
through the membrane have to diffuse through special integral membrane proteins
![Page 23: Cell Transport: moving things in and out of the cell](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816690550346895dda6b3e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

ACTIVE TRANSPORT Small molecules and ions can be “pumped” in/out of cell using energy (ATP). We will look at a couple really important examples of these when we look at cell respiration and photosynthesis. Also key in neuron function!
![Page 25: Cell Transport: moving things in and out of the cell](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816690550346895dda6b3e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Active Transport• Two main categories
– Small Stuff – Transport Proteins• Molecules can move in/out of cell using transport
proteins. – Big Stuff – Vesicle Transport
• Large materials (ie. chunks or food, complex molecules, liquid and even cells) that cannot pass through a protein channel need to be brought in through complex movement of membrane vesicles
– Exocytosis
– Endocytosis

SUMMARY OF WAYS TO MOVE STUFF IN AND OUT:
Passive Transport:
Requires no energy
- simple diffusion
- facilitated diffusion (via proteins)
Active Transport:
Requires energy in the form of ATP (energy molecule)
- transport proteins
- endo/exocytosis
