Chapter 8: Membrane structure and function Membrane Structure Membrane models have evolved to fit new data Membranes are fluid Membranes are mosaics of structure and function Membrane carbohydrates are important for cell-cell recognition Traffic across membranes A membranes molecular organization results in selective permeability Permeability of the lipid bilayer Transport proteins Passive transport is diffusion across a membrane Osmosis is the passive transport of water Cell survival depends on balancing water uptake and loss Water balance of cells without walls Water balance of cells with walls Specific proteins facilitate the passive transport of water and selected solutes Active transport is the pumping of solutes against their gradients

Analyses Osmosis and Diffusion Osmosis and Diffusion are processes of passive transport. In this lab we studied the basic concepts of molecular movement in solutions. During the execution of the experiment, I became aware that molecules are in constant motion and tend to move from areas of higher concentration to those of lower concentration. Diffusion is the movement of molecules following that concentration gradient. It occurs on the diverse states of matter. Osmosis refers to the specialized diffusion of molecules of water through a selectively permeable membrane.

Ch. 7 Membrane Structure and Function Plasma membrane separates living cell from its surroundings Controls traffic into and out of the cell it surrounds Selectively permeable: allows some substances to cross easier than others One of the earliest episodes in the evolution of life may have been the formation of a membrane that enclosed a solution different from the surrounding solution while still permitting the uptake of nutrients and elimination of waste products. Ability of cell to discriminate in chemical exchanges with its environment is fundamental to life Lipids and proteins are the staple of membranes; carbohydrates are also important Phospholipid is amphipathic meaning it has hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions

Cellular Transportation Josey Nelson Introduction Helps in maintaining homeostasis Two types: Passive Transportation No energy required Two main types High to low concentration Active Transportation Uses ATP for transportation Low to high concentration Diffusion The movement of particles from high concentration to low concentration Purpose: to reach equilibrium Osmosis is diffusion of water 3 major types Diffusion of ions Diffusion of molecules Osmosis (diffusion of water) Facilitated Diffusion Uses proteins to transport ions and molecules High to low concentration Requires Carrier Proteins No ATP (energy) Types of Solutions Hypotonic: a solution that contains higher water concentrations in solution

Active transport - The transport of molecules across a membrane and against their natural flow; mediated by carrier proteins and requiring outside energy. Carrier protein - A protein responsible for mediating the active transport of molecules from one side of the lipid bilayer to the other. Transport is carried out by a conformational change that occurs within the protein that forms an opening for specific molecules to pass through. Channel protein - A protein responsible for mediating the passive transport of molecules from one side of the lipid bilayer to the other. Transport is carried out by its membrane-spanning hydrophilic structure which, when open, allows molecules to pass through.
