Warm Up Questions: • All _______________ are composed of cells. • New cells are produced from _________________. • What is the main purpose of the cell membrane? • What are some examples of manmade membranes? (Try to think of at least two.)
Cell Membranes • Made up of a lipid bi-layer • Selectively Permeable: Not all particles can pass through the membrane without help from special membrane proteins
Active Transport • The process by which proteins on the cell membrane push particles from one side of the membrane to the other • Requires energy (ATP) • Occurs when particles are two large to diffuse through a membrane or; • Occurs when particles are moving against the forces of diffusion (Particles are moving from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration)
Active Transport Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ H2O H2O H2O H2O H2O H2O H2O H2O H2O H2O H2O A B
Passive Transport • Normal Diffusion that requires membrane proteins • Channel Proteins • Carrier Proteins
Endocytosis • Endocytosis is the process by which nutrients are engulfed by the cell membrane
Exocytosis • The process by which a vesicle inside the cell fuses with the cell membrane and expels its contents outside the cell
