16
Q

The plasma membrane allows some materials
to pass while excluding others.
*This permeability influences movement both
into and out of the cell.

A

Selective Permeability

17
Q

allows some materials
to pass while excluding others.

A

plasma membrane

18
Q

movement of substances
into and out of the cell

A

Membrane transport

19
Q

are selectively permeable (some
substances can pass through but others cannot)

A

Cell membranes

20
Q

Two basic methods of transport

A

Passive processes
Active processes

21
Q

passive processes

A

*No energy is required

22
Q

Cell must provide metabolic energy (ATP)

A

Active processes

23
Q

Particles tend to distribute themselves
evenly within a solution
*Movement is from high concentration to low
concentration, or down a concentration
gradient

24
Q

An unassisted process
*Solutes are lipid-soluble materials or small
enough to pass through membrane pores
EX: fat-soluble
molecules
directly through
the phospholipid
bilayer

A

Simple diffusion

25
simple diffusion of water *Highly polar water molecules easily cross the plasma membrane through aquaporins EX: diffusion of water through a specific channel protein (aquaporin) or through the lipid bilayer
Osmosis
26
Substances require a protein carrier for passive transport *Transports lipid-insoluble and large substances
Facilitated diffusion
27
Water and solutes are forced through a membrane by fluid, or hydrostatic pressure
Filtration
28
Substances are transported that are unable to pass by diffusion *Substances may be too large *Substances may not be able to dissolve in the fat core of the membrane *Substances may have to move against a concentration gradient *ATP is used for transport
Active Processes
29
*Amino acids, some sugars, and ions are transported by protein carriers called solute pumps *ATP energizes protein carriers *In most cases, substances are moved against concentration gradients
Active transport (solute pumping)
30
*Moves materials out of the cell *Material is carried in a membranous vesicle *Vesicle migrates to plasma membrane *Vesicle combines with plasma membrane *Material is emptied to the outside
Exocytosis (Vesicular transport)
31
*Extracellular substances are engulfed by being enclosed in a membranous vescicle
Endocytosis (Vesicular transport)
32
cell eating
Phagocytosis
33
cell drinking
Pinocytosis
34
move materials across the cell surface *Located in the respiratory system to move mucus
Cilia
35
propel the cell *The only flagellated cell in the human body is sperm
*Flagella
