Movement across the
Cell Membrane
AP Biology
2007-2008
Diffusion
 Diffusion

AP Biology
movement from HIGH  LOW concentration
Simple Diffusion
 Move from HIGH to LOW concentration
“passive transport”
 no energy needed

AP Biology
diffusion
movement of water
osmosis
Osmosis is just diffusion of water
 Water is very important to life,
so we talk about water separately
 Diffusion of water from
HIGH concentration of water to
LOW concentration of water

AP Biology
across a
semi-permeable
membrane
Managing water balance
 Cell survival depends on balancing
water uptake & loss
AP Biology
freshwater
balanced
saltwater
Concentration of water
 Direction of osmosis is determined by
comparing total solute concentrations

Hypertonic - more solute, less water

Hypotonic - less solute, more water

Isotonic - equal solute, equal water
water
AP Biology
hypotonic
hypertonic
net movement of water

Managing water balance
 Hypotonic

a cell in fresh water

high concentration of water around cell
 problem: cell gains water,
swells & can burst
 example: Paramecium
 ex: water continually enters
Paramecium cell
 solution: contractile vacuole
 pumps water out of cell
ATP
 ATP

plant cells
 turgid = full
 cell wall protects from bursting
AP Biology
freshwater
Pumping water out
 Contractile vacuole in Paramecium

Managing water balance
 Hypertonic
a cell in salt water
 low concentration of water
around cell

 problem: cell loses water &
can die
 example: shellfish
 solution: take up water or
pump out salt

plant cells
 plasmolysis = wilt
 can recover
AP Biology
saltwater

Managing water balance
 Isotonic

animal cell immersed in
mild salt solution

no difference in concentration of
water between cell & environment
 problem: none
 no net movement of water

flows across membrane equally, in
both directions
 cell in equilibrium
 volume of cell is stable
 example:
blood cells in blood plasma
 slightly salty IV solution in hospital
AP Biology
balanced
 Water moves from:
High Water Potential → Low Water Potential
 Low Solute Conc.
→ High Solute Conc.
 Hypotonic Soln.
→ Hypertonic Soln.
 Low Osmotic Poten. → High Osmotic
Poten.

Osmotic Potential: tendency to H2O to move
across a membrane into a solution.

Aquaporins
 Water moves rapidly into & out of cells

evidence that there were water channels
 protein channels allowing flow of water
across cell membrane

Do you understand Osmosis…

Cell (compared to beaker)  hypertonic or hypotonic
Beaker (compared to cell)  hypertonic or hypotonic
Which way does the water flow?  in or out of cell
AP Biology
Facilitated Diffusion
 Diffusion through protein channels


channels move specific molecules across
cell membrane
facilitated = with help
no energy needed
open channel = fast transport
HIGH
LOW
AP Biology
Active Transport
 Cells may need to move molecules against
concentration gradient



conformational shape change transports solute
from one side of membrane to other
protein “pump”
“costs” energy = ATP LOW conformational change
ATP
HIGH
AP Biology
Active transport
 Many models & mechanisms
ATP
AP Biology
ATP
antiport
symport
Active transport
 Movement of molecules against the
concentration gradient. Requires Energy!

AP Biology
Getting through cell membrane
 Passive Transport

Simple diffusion
 diffusion of nonpolar, hydrophobic molecules
 lipids
 HIGH  LOW concentration gradient

Facilitated transport
 diffusion of polar, hydrophilic molecules
 through a protein channel
 HIGH  LOW concentration gradient
 Active transport

diffusion against concentration gradient
 LOW  HIGH

Osmoregulation
 Regulates solute concentrations and
balances the gain and loss of water.
AP Biology
 Marine fish are


AP Biology
hypotonic to sea
water
They lose water by
osmosis and gain
salt by diffusion
from food
They balance
water loss by
drinking seawater
and excreting salts
 Freshwater animals


AP Biology
constantly take in water
by osmosis from their
hyoptonic environment
They lose salts by
diffision and maintain
water balance by
excreting large
amounts of dilute urine.
Salts lost by diffusion
are replaced in foods
and by uptake across
the gills.
 The kidneys are the principle site of
water balance and salt regulation.
AP Biology
•The Nephron consists
of a single long tubule
and ball of capillaries
called the glomerulus.
•Bowman’s capsule
surrounds and receives
filtrate from the
glomerulus.
AP Biology
 The filtrate will flow through three
regions of the nephron.

AP Biology
Proximal Tubule
Loop of Henle
Distal Tubule
Filtration
•Blood pressure
forces fluid from the
blood in the
glomerulus into the
Bowman's capsule
•This is a nonselective
process.
•The filtrate contains
salts, glucose, amino
acids, vitamins,
nitrogenous wastes
and ofher small
molecules.
AP Biology
Reabsorption
•Ions, water and
nutrients are
reabsorbed.
•These are actively and
passively transported
from the filtrate into the
interstitial fluid and
then capillaries.
•Toxic materials are
secreted.
AP Biology
Descending Loop
•Reabsorption of
water continues
through channels
formed by aquporin
proteins.
•Movement is
driven by the
hypertonic
interstitial fluid.
•The filtrate
becomes
increasingly
concentrated.
AP Biology
Ascending Loop
•Salt but not water
is able to diffuse
from the tubule
into the interstitial
fluid.
•The filtrate
becomes
increasingly dilute.
AP Biology
Distal Tubule
•Regulates the K+
and NaCl
concentrations of
body fluids.
AP Biology
Collecting Duct
•Water is lost as
well as some salt
and urea, and the
filtrate becomes
more concentrated
•Urine is
hypertonic to the
body fluids.

 Moving large molecules into & out of cell
through vesicles & vacuoles
 endocytosis

 phagocytosis = “cellular eating”
 pinocytosis = “cellular drinking”
