Presentation Transcript

  1. Cell Transport Moving Materials Into and Out of the Cell

  2. Transport through the cell membrane • Extracellular fluid ~ The fluid that surrounds cells. (Interstitial fluid) • Intracellular fluid ~ The fluid inside of a cell. (Cytosol)

  3. Plasma Membrane • Regulates what enters and leaves the cell and also provides protection and support. • Phospholipidbilayer

  4. Plasma Membrane • Semi-permeable or selectively permeable • Proteins – channels and pumps that help to move material across the cell membrane. • Carbohydrates – act like chemical identification cards

  5. Solution • Solvent – substance that contains substances; responsible for doing the dissolving • Solute – substance dissolved in the solvent • Ex: salt water • Salt = solute water = solvent

  6. Concentration • Cytoplasm contains a solution of may different substances in water • Amount of substances vs amount of water • Concentration gradient – drives diffusion and osmosis

  7. Hypotonic, Hypertonic, Isotonic • Hypotonic – lower concentration of solutes • Hypertonic – higher concentration of solutes • Isotonic – concentration is the same

  8. Extracellular Fluid Intracellular Fluid

  9. Extracellular Fluid Intracellular Fluid

  10. Isotonic solution ~ The concentration of dissolved salts in the intracelluar fluid is the same as it is in the extracellular fluid. Note that normal red blood cells look a bit like Cheerios. They are round and flat with a dent in the middle.

  11. Hypertonic solution ~ The concentration of dissolved materials is greater in the extracellular fluid than it is in the intracellular fluid. Plasmolysis ~ Cell shriveling due to a decrease in internal pressure.

  12. Hypotonic solution ~ The concentration of dissolved materials in the intracellular fluids is greater than that in the extracellular fluid. Cytolysis ~ Cell bursting due to internal pressure.

  13. Dynamic equilibrium • The point at which concentrations of a molecule or compound is equal both inside and outside.

  14. Passive Transport • Passive transport is the movement of materials through the cell membrane that does not require the use of energy. • Diffusion ~ The movement of particles from an area of high concentration to low concentration • Osmosis ~ The diffusion of water through a semi-permeable membrane. In the case of cells, this will be the cell membrane.

  15. Passive Diffusion • Movement of substances is through the cell membrane from a high concentration to low concentration • Osmosis is a type of passive diffusion where water molecules across the cell membrane

  16. Facilitated Diffusion • Substances cross the cell membrane through protein channels (specifically designed for that substance) • No energy is used

  18. Active Transport • Movement of substances into and out of the cell using energy • Protein pumps are necessary; changes in protein shapes is vital for this to occur

  19. Active Transport • Requires the use of cell energy (ATP) • Endocytosis: process of taking material into the cell by folding of the cell membrane. • Phagocytosis: “cell eating” • Pinocytosis: cell takes in liquid from outside the cell

  20. Active Transport • Exocytosis: release of materials from the cell • Membrane of the vacuole surrounding the material fuses with the cell membrane, forcing the contents out of the cell
