(f) Cell-cell recognition Some glycoproteins (proteins bonded to short chains of sugars) serve as identification tags that are specifically recognized by other cells. Glycoprotein Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 3.4f Membrane Junctions • Three types: • Tight junction • Desmosome • Gap junction Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Membrane Junctions: Tight Junctions • Prevent fluids and most molecules from moving between cells • Where might these be useful in the body? Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Plasma membranes of adjacent cells Microvilli Intercellular space Basement membrane Interlocking junctional proteins Intercellular space (a) Tight junctions: Impermeable junctions prevent molecules from passing through the intercellular space. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 3.5a Membrane Junctions: Desmosomes • “Rivets” or “spot-welds” that anchor cells together • Where might these be useful in the body? Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Plasma membranes of adjacent cells Microvilli Intercellular space Basement membrane Intercellular space Plaque Intermediate filament (keratin) Linker glycoproteins (cadherins) (b) Desmosomes: Anchoring junctions bind adjacent cells together and help form an internal tension-reducing network of fibers.

Figure 3.5b Membrane Junctions: Gap Junctions • Transmembrane proteins form pores that allow small molecules to pass from cell to cell • For spread of ions between cardiac or smooth muscle cells Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Plasma membranes of adjacent cells Microvilli Intercellular space Basement membrane Intercellular space Channel between cells (connexon) (c) Gap junctions: Communicating junctions allow ions and small molecules to pass from one cell to the next for intercellular communication.

Figure 3.5c Membrane Transport • Plasma membranes are selectively permeable • Some molecules easily pass through the membrane; others do not Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Types of Membrane Transport • Passive processes • No cellular energy (ATP) required • Substance moves down its concentration gradient • Active processes • Energy (ATP) required • Occurs only in living cell membranes Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Passive Processes • What determines whether or not a substance can passively permeate a membrane? 1. Lipid solubility of substance 2. Channels of appropriate size 3. Carrier proteins PLAY Animation: Membrane Permeability Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Passive Processes • Simple diffusion • Carrier-mediated facilitated diffusion • Channel-mediated facilitated diffusion • Osmosis Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Passive Processes: Simple Diffusion • Nonpolar lipid-soluble (hydrophobic) substances diffuse directly through the phospholipid bilayer PLAY Animation: Diffusion Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Extracellular fluid Lipidsoluble solutes Cytoplasm (a) Simple diffusion of fat-soluble molecules directly through the phospholipid bilayer Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 3.7a Passive Processes: Facilitated Diffusion • Certain lipophobic molecules (e.g., glucose, amino acids, and ions) use carrier proteins or channel proteins, both of which: • Exhibit specificity (selectivity) • Are saturable; rate is determined by number of carriers or channels • Can be regulated in terms of activity and quantity Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Facilitated Diffusion Using Carrier Proteins • Transmembrane integral proteins transport specific polar molecules (e.g., sugars and amino acids) • Binding of substrate causes shape change in carrier Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Lipid-insoluble solutes (such as sugars or amino acids) (b) Carrier-mediated facilitated diffusion via a protein carrier specific for one chemical; binding of substrate causes shape change in transport protein Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 3.7b Facilitated Diffusion Using Channel Proteins • Aqueous channels formed by transmembrane proteins selectively transport ions or water • Two types: • Leakage channels • Always open • Gated channels • Controlled by chemical or electrical signals Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Small lipidinsoluble solutes (c) Channel-mediated facilitated diffusion through a channel protein; mostly ions selected on basis of size and charge Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 3.7c Passive Processes: Osmosis • Movement of solvent (water) across a selectively permeable membrane • Water diffuses through plasma membranes: • Through the lipid bilayer • Through water channels called aquaporins (AQPs) Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Water molecules Lipid billayer Aquaporin (d) Osmosis, diffusion of a solvent such as water through a specific channel protein (aquaporin) or through the lipid bilayer Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 3.7d Passive Processes: Osmosis • Water concentration is determined by solute concentration because solute particles displace water molecules • Osmolarity: The measure of total concentration of solute particles • When solutions of different osmolarity are separated by a membrane, osmosis occurs until equilibrium is reached Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. (a) Membrane permeable to both solutes and water Solute and water molecules move down their concentration gradients in opposite directions. Fluid volume remains the same in both compartments. Left compartment: Solution with lower osmolarity Right compartment: Solution with greater osmolarity Both solutions have the same osmolarity: volume unchanged H2O Solute Membrane Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Solute molecules (sugar) Figure 3.8a (b) Membrane permeable to water, impermeable to solutes Solute molecules are prevented from moving but water moves by osmosis. Volume increases in the compartment with the higher osmolarity. Left compartment Right compartment Both solutions have identical osmolarity, but volume of the solution on the right is greater because only water is free to move H2O Membrane Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Solute molecules (sugar) Figure 3.8b Importance of Osmosis • When osmosis occurs, water enters or leaves a cell • Change in cell volume disrupts cell function PLAY Animation: Osmosis Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Tonicity • Tonicity: The ability of a solution to cause a cell to shrink or swell • Isotonic: A solution with the same solute concentration as that of the cytosol • Hypertonic: A solution having greater solute concentration than that of the cytosol • Hypotonic: A solution having lesser solute concentration than that of the cytosol Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. (a) Isotonic solutions Cells retain their normal size and shape in isotonic solutions (same solute/water concentration as inside cells; water moves in and out). Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. (b) Hypertonic solutions Cells lose water by osmosis and shrink in a hypertonic solution (contains a higher concentration of solutes than are present inside the cells). (c) Hypotonic solutions Cells take on water by osmosis until they become bloated and burst (lyse) in a hypotonic solution (contains a lower concentration of solutes than are present in cells).
