Movement across
the cell membrane
Diffusion
• Movement of molecules from high  low
concentration
• 2nd Law of Thermodynamics
• Governs biological systems
• Universe tends towards disorder (entropy)
Simple diffusion
• Movement from high  low concentration
• “passive transport”
• No energy needed
X
ATP
movement of water
diffusion
osmosis
Facilitated diffusion
• Diffusion through protein channels
• Channels move specific molecules across the
cell membrane
• Movement from high  low concentration
X
ATP
• “passive transport”
• No energy needed
facilitated = with help
open channel = fast transport
HIGH
LOW
“The Bouncer”
Active transport
• Movement through a protein pump
• Movement from low  high concentration
• AGAINST the concentration gradient
• Requires energy
ATP
LOW
HIGH
Active transport
• Antiport
• Molecules move in opposite directions
• Symport
• Molecules move in the same direction
antiport
symport
Let’s review …
• Passive transport
• Simple diffusion
• Diffusion of nonpolar, hydrophobic molecules
• Lipids
• HIGH  LOW concentration gradient
• Facilitated diffusion
• Diffusion of polar, hydrophilic molecules
• Through a protein channel
• HIGH  LOW
• Active transport
• Diffusion AGAINST the concentration gradient
• LOW  HIGH
• Uses a protein pump
• Required ATP

Osmosis
• Diffusion of WATER
• Move from HIGH concentration of water to
LOW concentration of water
• Across a semi-permeable membrane
Water concentration
• 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
hypotonic
hypertonic
net movement of water
Maintaining water balance
• Cell survival depends on balancing water
uptake & loss
freshwater
balanced
saltwater
Maintaining water balance
• Hypotonic
• A cell in fresh (or distilled) water
• High conc of water outside cell
• Animal cell
• Cell gains water, swells,
& can burst
• Ex. Paramecium
KABOOM!
 Water continually enters cell
• Soluton: contractile vacuole
 Pumps water out of cell
• Plant cell
No problem,
here
• Turgid = full
• Cell wall protects from bursting
freshwater
Contractile vacuole
• Pumping out water in a paraecium
ATP
Maintaining water balance
• Hypertonic
I’m shrinking,
I’m shrinking!
• A cell in salt water
• Low conc of water outside cell
• Animal cell
• Cell loses water & can die
• Ex. Shellfish
• Soluton: take up water or
pump out salt
• Plant cell
• Plasmolysis = wilt
• Cell can recover
I will
survive!
saltwater
Maintaining water balance
• Isotonic
• Cell is in slightly salty solution
• No difference in
That’s
perfect!
concentration of water
between cell & environment
• Problem: none
 No net movement of water
• Example: blood cells in plasma
 IV solution is slightly salty
I could
be better…
balanced
Maintaining water balance
• Aquaporins
• Water moves
rapidly into &
out of cells
• Protein channels
allowing flow of
water across the
cell membrane
Some quick practice …
.05 M
.03 M
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
What about large molecules?
What about large molecules?
• Large molecules move through vesicles &
vacuoles
• Endocytosis = movement INTO the cell
• Phagocytosis = “cellular eating”
• Pinocytosis = “cellular drinking”
• Exocytosis = movement
OUT of the cell
Endocytosis
phagocytosis
fuse with
lysosome for
digestion
pinocytosis
non-specific
process
receptor-mediated
endocytosis
triggered by
molecular
signal
Any Questions??
