I. 5-4 Movement of Materials Through the Cell membrane

Objectives:

*1. Discuss the process of diffusion

*2. Discuss the process of osmosis

*3. Distinguish between passive and active transport

*4. Describe endocytosis, phagocytosis, pinocytosis

*5. Describe exocytosis

- Passive Transport -movement across a membrane without energy from the cell. From high to low concentration.

*1-A. Diffusion - Process by which molecules of a substance move from areas of higher concentration of that substance to areas of lower concentration. (fig.#5-17)

1. Caused by the constant movement of molecules.

2. Random movement causes movement from a high concentration to one of a low concentration.

3. Equilibrium - condition where the concentration of a material is equal on each side of a membrane. (materials moving into the cell equal the materials moving out of the cell)

4. Selectively Permeable - ability of some substances, but not all, to cross a membrane.

5. Factors of Permeability:

a. Small substances pass through a membrane easier than larger ones.

b. Fat-soluble particles pass through the lipid bilayer easily. (ex. fats and alcohols)

c. Cells differ in what they allow to pass through their membranes.

*2-B. Osmosis - The diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane. (Fig.#5-18)

1. Osmotic Balance - Water molecules enter and leave a cell at the same rate.

2. Contractile Vacuoles - Found in unicellular organisms, this organelle pumps water out of a cell, to remove water forced in by osmosis.

C. Facilitated Diffusion - Process in which a carrier protein carries a substance (ex. glucose) across a membrane.

1. Fast, and does not require energy.

2. A form of diffusion.

3. From a high to low concentration.

#3-D. Active Transport - An energy-requiring process (uses ATP) to move a material across a cell membrane against a concentration difference (low to high concentration) (fig.#5-21)

1. example - kidney removing waste from a cell.

2. plant moving minerals across the membrane of root hairs.

#4-E. Endocytosis - Process of taking in large particles of food by infolding of the cell membrane. The cell uses energy to move the materials that are to large to move across by passive or active transport.

1. Phagocytosis - Extensions of cytoplasm surround and engulf large particles of food.

a. Amebas, the cell membrane breaks off and becomes a food vacuole.

2. Pinocytosis - Canals within a cell membrane, fill with water, pinch off and form vacuoles within the cell.

*5-F. Exocytosis - The removal of water or waste from the cell. The vacuole fuses with the cell membrane, and releases materials within the vacuole.
