Plasma Membrane
Lipid bilayer, semipermeable, creates conditions critical cell function
What are functions of Plasma Membrane?
- physical barrier - separates inside cell from extracellular fluid
- regulation of exchange ions and molecules in environment
- sensitivity to environment

Anchoring Proteins
link one cell to another, link proteins outside cell to proteins inside
anchoring proteins give _____ and shape, ____ cells to one another in tissues
structural stability, anchor
Recognition Proteins
distinguish cells from anyone else’s
Enzymes
catalyze reaction inside/outside cell
Receptor Proteins
recognize specific ligand
what do ligands do?
molecule binds to specific receptor
Carrier Proteins
move substances across plasma membrane by changing their shape
Channel Proteins
form pores in plasma membrane (sodium and potassium channels, aquapore)
How permeable is the plasma membrane?
semipermeable
Whats plasma membrane permeable to?
small solutes, non polar, hydrophobic
Whats plasma membrane impermeable to?
water soluble, polar, hydrophilic
What are three types of transport processes in cell membrane?
- Diffusion
- Carrier-Mediated Transport

Whats Diffusion?
Does Diffusion require energy?
- random movement of substance down concentration gradient
- no energy required
Whats Carrier-Mediated Transport?
What does it require?
Does it require energy?
- movement substance
- integral proteins
- may or may not require energy
Whats Vesicular Transport?
Does it require energy?
- movement large amounts material across plasma membrane in vesicles
- requires energy
Diffusion is ___ permeable, and moves molecules from ___ concentration to ____
selectively, high, low
plasma membrane ____ permeable, substances present higher inside cell others present higher outside cell = _____, across cell membrane called _____
selectively, concentration gradient, chemical gradient
greater concentration ____ inside cell, more ___ outside cell = _____ difference across plasma membrane called _____
anions, cations, charge, charge gradient
What do charge gradient and chemical gradient form?
electrochemical gradient
what does the Electrochemical Gradient do?
moves substances across plasma membrane
6 factors affecting diffusion rate
- diffusion distance
- size/mass of substance
- temperature
- steepness concentration gradient
- electrical forces
- surface area
What are two types of diffusion?
- Simple Diffusion
2. Channel Mediated Diffusion
What molecules can diffuse in Simple Diffusion?
non-polar, hydrophobic
What molecules can diffuse in Channel Mediated Diffusion?
small inorganic molecules and water
Osmosis
movement of water through selectively permeable membrane from are higher concentration of water to are lower concentration of water
What two ways does water move through cells?
- special channel proteins aquaporins
2. slipping through temporary spaces between phospholipids of plasma membranes
what does Tonicity do?
influences shape of cells body
Isotonic: concentration solutes are ____ on both sides of _____
same, membrane
Isotonic cell ____
maintains shape
Hypotonic: concentration solutes ___ inside cell and ____ outside cell, water moves ___ cell
higher, cell, into

Hypertonic: concentration solutes ____ inside cell and ____ outside cell, water moves ____ cell
lower, higher, out
Hypertonic cell _____
shrinks
Isotonic IV solutions
prevents dehydration
Hypotonic IV solutions
treat dehydration, water moves from blood into interstitial fluid then into body cells (eg. gatorade)
Hypertonic IV solutions
fluid pulled from interstitial fluid into blood then for transport out of body (eg. urine)
What are two types of Carrier Mediated Transport
- Facilitated Diffusion
2. Active Transport
Facilitated Diffusion passive (_____) movement of substance across plasma membrane by ________, from area of ____ to _____
no energy, carrier protein, high, low
