Transcription

1 Student Objectives Know the different parts of the cell membrane Understand the role of the cell membrane in cellular transport Understand diffusion and osmosis Determine what will happen to plant and animal cell if placed in solutions of various concentrations (hypertonic, hypotonic, isotonic)

2 The Cell Membrane Also known as the Plasma Membrane

3 Homeostasis The cell membrane is an important part of maintaining Homeostasis in the cell. Homeostasis is when an organism or cell maintains a stable internal environment goldilocks Cells need to transport some materials inside of them, and transport other materials out What do cells need in? What do cells need out?

4 Parts of the Cell Membrane - Phospholipids The phospolipids in the cell membrane are composed of a phosphate head region and a hydrocarbon tail region Phospholipids in a cell membrane are arranged in a double layer (a bilayer)

5 Phospholipids and Membrane Fluidity The phospholipids in the membrane can move laterally (side to side) in the membrane This gives the membrane a fluid nature (think a layer of oil on water) shanimat/lipids/membrane%20fluidity.s wf

6 Parts of the Cell Membrane - Cholesterol keeps the phospholipids in the cell membrane spread out This makes the membrane more fluid Cholesterol

7 Parts of the Cell Membrane - Proteins 2 Types of membrane proteins Integral Membrane Protein Span the entire width of the membrane bilayer Peripheral proteins Not embedded in the cell membrane, loosely attached to the surface of the membrane

8 Parts of the Cell Membrane - Proteins Functions of the proteins in the cell membrane Transporting materials in and out of the cell Receptors for chemicals Enzymes for helping chemical reactions Help cells to recognize each other Points of connection for other cells

9 Parts of the Cell Membrane Surface Carbohydrates Surface Carbohydrates are on the outside of the cell membrane They function in cell to cell recognition, cell signaling, and cell adhesion (sticking to things)

10 Membrane Permeability Cellular Membranes are Selectively Permeable they only allow certain substances to pass through them What CAN pass through the cell membrane? Small, uncharged molecules (Water, CO 2, Oxygen) What CANNOT pass through the cell membrane Large, or charged substances (carbohydrates like starch, proteins, etc ) Must use a transport protein

11 Passive Transport Type of transport in cells that does NOT require an input of energy 3 Types of Passive transport Diffusion Facilitated Diffusion Osmosis

12 Passive Transport Important Vocabulary Solute - The solid substance that is dissolved in a solvent. Solvent - The liquid substance in which the solute is dissolved. Solution - The mixture of two or more substances (solute and solvent) in which the molecules of the substances are evenly distributed.

13 Diffusion -The passive movement of molecules from a higher concentration to a lower concentration until equilibrium is reached. Does NOT require energy! This is how oxygen gets into the blood stream from lungs! Diffusion

14 Facilitated Diffusion Facilitated Diffusion is the movement of molecules across the cell membrane with the help of special transport protein Channel proteins Carrier proteins Still high to low concentration So NO energy needed

15 Using the cutout pieces and your notes, create a cell membrane with your table group! Make sure to label the exterior and interior of the cell. Raise your hand when you complete your model

16 Osmosis Osmosis is the movement of water across a semi-permeable (or selectively permeable) membrane From high water concentration to low water concentration

17 Important Osmosis Vocabulary Hypertonic Solution A solution that has a higher relative solute concentration (and a lower water concentration) Hypotonic Solution A solution that has a lower relative solute concentration Isotonic Solution When two solutions have an equal concentration of solutes they are said to be isotonic

18 Hypotonic Solution Use the cell pieces at your table to model the diagram above in which a cell is placed in a hypotonic environment (cell exterior) Q: how will water move in this situation Q: Which side is hypertonic, which side is hypotonic Fill in the information in figure 3 of your student sheet

19

20 Hypertonic Solution Use the cell pieces at your table to model the diagram above in which a cell is placed in a hypertonic environment (cell exterior) Q: how will water move in this situation Q: Which side is hypertonic, which side is hypotonic Fill in the information in figure 3 of your student sheet

21

22 Isotonic Solution Use the cell pieces at your table to model the diagram above in which a cell is placed in a Isotonic environment (cell exterior) Q: how will water move in this situation Q: Which side is hypertonic, which side is hypotonic Fill in the information in figure 3 of your student sheet

24 Use your model to demonstrate A blood cell placed in distilled water Hint distilled water has NO solutes pure H 2 O!

25 Use your model to demonstrate A blood cell placed in a 10% saline (salt) solution Hint blood normally has a concentration of 0.9% salt

26 What Happens to Cells in Various Solutions?

27 Check for understanding What prevents a plant cell from bursting when placed in a hypotonic solution? What happens to an animal cell if it is placed in a strong saltwater solution? What happens to a plant cell if it is placed in an extremely hypotonic solution?

28 Active Transport Active Transport: A movement of ions across the cellular membrane from a lower concentration to a higher concentration ATP-The most important molecule located within human beings ATP is the energy that is used in active transport.

29 Examples of Active Transport Exocytosis and Endocytosis are ways a cell can pass proteins in vesicles (membrane sacs) out or into the cell. Exocytosis-a process in which a vesicle moves to the cell membrane, fuses with the membrane, and releases its contents outside the cell Endocytosis-the cell membrane engulfs ( eats ) molecules, pinches two sides to form a circle around the molecules, and the circle (vesicle) breaks off from the membrane now inside the cell.

30 Endocytosis and Exocytosis

31 Moving Substances Against Concentration Gradient a protein pump uses energy (ATP) to pump ions move from low concentration to high concentration

32 At your table groups, create a poster for one of the following concepts: 1. Cell Membrane 2. A drink with labels for solute, solvent, solution 3. Cell in Hypotonic environment 4. Cell in Hypertonic environment 5. Cell in Isotonic environment 6. Endocytosis 7. Exocytosis

33 Be sure to include: Title Labels Movement of water (if applicable) Make it colorful! You have 10 minutes

34 Conclusion Cell membranes are composed of a variety of substances (phospholipids, carbohydrates, proteins ) that perform various functions Cell membranes allow certain substances to pass through them, and may have proteins to allow other substances to enter or exit Cells can use passive transport (no energy needed) or active transport (requires energy) to move materials into and out of the cell
