Explore the structure and function of the cell membrane, and compare it to a mosaic. Learn about the components, roles of membrane proteins, and how molecules cross the membrane. Discover the concepts of diffusion, osmosis, and tonicity.
E N D
In your notebook…. • Describe a mosaic, and then compare a cell membrane to it
Two major components: • Phospholipids • Proteins
Fluid Mosaic Model • http://www.susanahalpine.com/anim/Life/memb.htm • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULR79TiUj80
Roles of the membrane proteins • Move stuff across the membrane that can’t get across on its own • Recognition – like nametags • Receptors – trigger cellular responses • Enzymes
HYDROPHILIC HYDROPHOBIC
Back to your homework… • What kinds of molecules can cross the cell membrane, according to the diagram?
Examples of small polar and nonpolar substances: • O2 • CO2 • H2O
Homework diagram… • How do they cross? • In which direction do they cross?
Make some predictions about your lab… • What do you think will happen to the mass of your cell? Why? • Which way do you think substances will move? Why?
Compare your data with others. • You need to collect results from all three situations.
Claim 1: Substances will diffuse across a permeable membrane. • Evidence: • Rationale/Reasoning:
Claim 2: The cell membrane is selectively permeable. • Evidence: • Reasoning/Rationale:
Role of the membrane? • Selective permeability
Cell Membrane • Cell Membrane Animation • Made of phospholipids and proteins • Molecules move into and out of a cell through the cell membrane • The cell membrane is selectively permeable • How certain molecules move through the cell is called cell transport • Passive Transport • Active Transport
Questions • What happens when you spray air freshener or perfume? • What happens when you put food coloring in water? • THIS IS DIFFUSION!!!! Diffusion is also one way things are transported across the cell membrane
What is concentration? • Amount of solute in a certain amount of solvent…think about kool-aid… • Solvent – what does the dissolving (liquid) • Solute – what is dissolved in the solvent • Which is more concentrated?
Diffusion Dynamic Equilibrium
Make a hypothesis…. • Will the glucose move? Which way? Why or why not? • Will the iodine move? Which way? Why or why not? • Will the starch move? Which way? Why or why not?
For lab… • To the tube, add: • Glucose solution • Starch • To the beaker, add: • Water • Iodine
Selectively permeable Definition Illustrate Selectively permeable What qualities might affect how easily a molecule can move through a membrane? Explain your illustration
Sizes of Molecules… • Water (H2O) • Iodine (I2K) • Glucose (C6H12O6) • Food Coloring (~450 atoms) • Starch (~1000 atoms) So…how big are the pores of the membrane? Make an estimate
How does the membrane regulate movement of molecules? • It’s structure dictates!!
Two major components: • Phospholipids • Proteins
HYDROPHILIC HYDROPHOBIC
Examples of small polar and nonpolar substances: • O2 • CO2 • H2O
The fish can still move…so we call this DYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM
Lipid bi-layer • Fluid mosaic model • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rl5EmUQdkuI • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GW0lqf4Fqpg
Passive Transport • Particles move from high concentration to low concentration • Does NOT require extra cell energy • Includes simple diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion
SIMPLE DIFFUSION • Movement of molecules from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration • Does not require energy (PASSIVE) • Because molecules are in constant, random, motion! • Will diffuse until reaches equilibrium (equal concentrations) • Dynamic equilibrium (still moving!)
Simple Diffusion in Cells Diffusion Animation Diffusion Across a Membrane http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/9834092339/student_view0/chapter38/diffusion_through_cell_membranes.html
What kinds of things diffuse through the membrane? • SMALL AND UNCHARGED • Like carbon dioxide and oxygen.
OSMOSIS • The diffusion of water across a membrane from an area of high concentration to low concentration • No energy required (PASSIVE TRANSPORT) • Occurs until reaches DYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM • Equal concentrations on both sides of the membrane
Tonicity of solutions • Used to compare the relative concentrations • Hypertonic • solution with a higher concentration of solute • So lower water concentration • Hypotonic • solution with a lower concentration of solute • So higher water concentration • Isotonic • solutions with equal concentrations of solute • Water diffuses from hypotonic solutions to hypertonic solutions!
Cells in Hypertonic Solution HYPERTONIC • Water moves out of the cell • Cell shrivels Low Hi
Hypotonic Solution • Water moves into the cell • Cell swells • Animal cell – can burst • Plant cell – builds up pressure on cell wall, but rigid cell wall keeps it from bursting HYPOTONIC Hi Lo
Isotonic Solution • Water moves in and out of the cell • Cell stays the same size • Dynamic Equilibrium ISOTONIC
