Function of the Plasma Membrane • The process of maintaining balance in an organism’s internal environment is called homeostasis. • One of the structures responsible for homeostasis is the plasma membrane. • The plasma membrane forms a thin, flexible boundary between a cell and its environment. • https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=Ptmlvtei 8 hw Copyright © Mc. Graw-Hill Education The Plasma Membrane
Function of the Plasma Membrane • Plasma membranes have selective permeability, meaning they allow some substances to pass through while keeping others out. • Control of how, when, and how much of various substances enter and leave a cell depends on the structure of the plasma membrane. Copyright © Mc. Graw-Hill Education The Plasma Membrane
Structure of the Plasma Membrane The phospholipid bilayer • The plasma membrane is composed of phospholipid bilayer – two layers of phospholipids are arranged to allow the membrane to exist in a watery environment. • The phospholipid bilayer has polar heads facing outside and nonpolar tails facing inside the cell, allowing the membrane to keep the internal and external environments separate. Copyright © Mc. Graw-Hill Education The Plasma Membrane
Structure of the Plasma Membrane Other components of the plasma membrane • The plasma membrane also contains cholesterol, proteins, and carbohydrates. • Some proteins called receptors transmit signals to the inside of the cell. • Some proteins serve as support structures for the membrane. • Transport proteins move needed substances and wastes through the membrane.

Structure of the Plasma Membrane Other components of the plasma membrane • Cholesterol prevents the fatty acid tails of the phospholipid bilayer from sticking together. • Cholesterol contributes to the fluidity of the membrane. Copyright © Mc. Graw-Hill Education The Plasma Membrane
Structure of the Plasma Membrane Other components of the plasma membrane • Carbohydrates define the cell’s characteristics • Help cells identify chemical signals Copyright © Mc. Graw-Hill Education The Plasma Membrane
Structure of the Plasma Membrane Other components of the plasma membrane • The fluid mosaic model describes the phospholipids in the bilayer as a “sea” in which other components can float and move around. • The different substances in the plasma membrane create a pattern or mosaic on the surface of the cell.

Cytoplasm and Cytoskeleton • The environment enclosed by the plasma membrane is a semifluid material called cytoplasm. • In prokaryotes, all the chemical processes of the cell take place directly in the cytoplasm. • In eukaryotes, these processes take place within organelles in the cytoplasm. Copyright © Mc. Graw-Hill Education Structures and Organelles
Cytoplasm and Cytoskeleton • The cytoskeleton is a supporting network of long, thin protein fibers that form a framework for the cell and proved an anchor for the organelles. • Microtubules are long, hollow protein cylinders that form a rigid skeleton for the cell and assist in moving substances within the cell. • Microfilaments are thin protein threads that help give the cell shape and enable the part or the entire cell move.

Vocabulary Review New • • • homeostasis Copyright © Mc. Graw-Hill Education diffusion dynamic equilibrium facilitated diffusion osmosis isotonic solution hypertonic solution active transport endocytosis exocytosis Cellular Transport
Diffusion • Particles in solids, liquids, and gasses are in constant random motion. • Diffusion is the net movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration. • Additional energy is not required for diffusion because the particles are already in motion. Copyright © Mc. Graw-Hill Education Cellular Transport
Diffusion • When diffusion occurs over a long enough time, concentrations will become uniform, and the solution will reach dynamic equilibrium. • Molecules continue to move, but the overall concentration remains the same. Copyright © Mc. Graw-Hill Education Cellular Transport
Diffusion across the plasma membrane • Water and gases can diffuse across the plasma membrane, but most other substances cannot. • Facilitated diffusion uses transport proteins to move ions and small molecules across the plasma membrane. • Diffusion and facilitated diffusion are types of passive transport – they require no additional energy. Copyright © Mc. Graw-Hill Education Cellular Transport
Facilitated Transport Cellular Transport
Osmosis: Diffusion of Water How osmosis works • Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane. • Water is the solvent in a cell and its environment • It will move across a membrane until the concentration of solute is the same on both sides.
Osmosis: Diffusion of Water Cells in an isotonic solution • An isotonic solution has the same concentration of water and solutes as the cytoplasm of the cell. • Water still moves through the membrane, but it enters and leaves at the same rate.
Osmosis: Diffusion of Water Cells in a hypotonic solution • A hypotonic solution has a lower concentration of solutes that the cytoplasm of the cell. • The net movement of water is into the cell. • As water moves into the cell, pressure increases. • Animal cells can burst when placed in extremely hypotonic solutions. Cellular Transport
Osmosis: Diffusion of Water Cells in a hypertonic solution • A hypertonic solution has a higher concentration of solutes that the cytoplasm of the cell. • The net movement of water is out the cell. • As water moves out of the cell, pressure decreases. • Hypertonic solutions cause wilting in plants. Copyright © Mc. Graw-Hill Education Cellular Transport
Osmosis in Various Solutions Cellular Transport
Active Transport • Sometimes substances must move from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration. • Movement of particles across the cell membrane, against the concentration gradient, requires energy and is called active transport. • Occurs with the aid of carrier proteins, often called pumps
Active Transport Na+/K+ ATPase pumps • Are found in the plasma membrane of animal cells • Maintain levels of sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+) inside/outside the cell • https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=f. HRC 8 Sl. Lc. H 0 Cellular Transport
Active Transport Na+/K+ ATPase pumps • • • Large molecules like sugar need to move against a concentration gradient into the cell. In a process called coupled transport, sugars can pair with Na+ ions and enter the cell through a membrane protein called a coupled channel. Allow sugars to enter through facilitated diffusion – saving energy Copyright © Mc. Graw-Hill Education Cellular Transport

Transport of Large Particles • • Endocytosis is the process by which a cell surrounds an object in the outside environment in a portion of the plasma membrane. Exocytosis is the excretion of materials at the plasma membrane. Copyright © Mc. Graw-Hill Education Cellular Transport
