1 Membrane Transport Permeability - the ability of a substance to pass through a membrane Cell membranes are selectively permeable Permeability is determined by A. the phospholipid bilayer and B. transport proteins in the membrane A. Permeability through the Lipid Bilayer 1. molecular size - smaller molecules are more permeable 2. lipid solubility - lipid-soluble (non-polar) molecules are more permeable - polar molecules and ions do not easily cross the lipid bilayer B. Membrane Transport Proteins (channels, carriers, and pumps) - enable certain ions and polar molecules to cross the membrane protein channels form passageways for certain ions 1

2 Permeability of the Plasma Membrane carrier proteins are used for certain polar molecules such as glucose Highly permeable O2 & CO2 fatty acids steroids H2O (variable: pores) Less permeable Na +, K +, Cl (via channels) glucose, a.a. s (via carriers) Impermeable proteins* DNA & RNA ATP * except via membrane-bound vesicles Transport Across Membranes 1.

Simple Diffusion 2. Osmosis Transport Across Membranes 3. Diffusion through channels 4. Facilitated diffusion 5. Primary active transport 6. Secondary active transport Passive Transport - no energy required Active Transport - requires energy Proteinmediated Transport 2

3 Diffusion in a Solution Diffusion Across a Membrane Diffusion occurs from high to low concentration (down a concentration gradient) Rate of Diffusion Across a Membrane Fick s Law of Diffusion Osmosis passive movement of water across a membrane in response to a solute concentration gradient Selectively-permeable membrane: permeable to water, impermeable to solute Water follows solutes; solutes suck Osmotic pressure: force that results from the difference in concentration of solutes across the membrane 3

4 Ø Osmolarity and Osmotic Pressure osmosis depends on osmolarity = total concentration of all solute particles in solution Tonicity effect of an extracellular solution on cell volume due to osmosis across the cell membrane depends on concentration of non-penetrating solutes only Ø 1 Osm (= 1,000 mosm) = 1M total solute concentration Hypotonic Solution - water enters the cell by osmosis (0 m Osm ) - cell gains volume (swells) Ø Ø solute concentration (osmolarity) difference results in a large osmotic pressure difference (π = CRT) osmotic pressure difference is the driving force for osmosis Hypertonic Solution - water leaves the cell by osmosis - cell loses volume (shrinks) Crenated RBCs in a Hypertonic Solution Isotonic Solution - concentration of non-penetrating solutes is equal in the ECF and ICF ICF 300 mosm ECF 300 mosm - no net water movement by osmosis - cell volume remains constant Example: 0.9% NaCl (0.9 g/dl) ( normal saline ) Image: Copyright 2004 Dennis Kunkel Microscopy, Inc. 4

5 1. Simple Diffusion 2. Osmosis Transport Across Membranes Passive Transport - no energy required Protein-Mediated Transport channels, carriers, and pumps 3. Diffusion through channels 4. Facilitated diffusion 5. Primary active transport 6. Secondary active transport Active Transport - requires energy Proteinmediated Transport Diffusion Through Channels 5

6 Diffusion of ions is influenced by both chemical and electrical driving forces. Electrical force on ions is due to membrane potential which results from slight imbalance of + and charges between the ICF and ECF (more negative inside). No membrane potential chemical force only (outward for K +, inward for Na + ) Membrane potential present chemical and electrical forces = electrochemical gradient For K +, chemical and electrical gradients are in the opposite direction (chem. outward, elec. inward), so the electrochemical gradient is small. The combined force is the electrochemical gradient. For Na +, chemical and electrical gradients are in the same direction (both inward), so the electrochemical gradient is large Facilitated Diffusion 6

7 GLUT transporters - mediate transport of glucose into most cells Facilitated Diffusion Carrier-mediated transport exhibits saturation. The transport maximum depends on the number of carrier proteins present in the membrane. - the GLUT4 transporter in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue is activated by insulin - Transports molecules against a gradient - Uses energy from ATP directly Primary Active Transport The sodium-potassium pump (Na + -K + -ATPase) Mechanism of the Na + -K + ATPase 7

8 Secondary Active Transport - Transports molecules against their gradient - Uses potential energy stored in ionic gradients (energy supplied indirectly by ATP ) - Involves coupled transport with an ion moving downhill The sodium-glucose (SGLT) transporter Mechanism of the SGLT Transporter 8
