Movements Across Membranes Flashcards
Membranes are…
Selectively permeable
Plasma membranes maintain
Cellular integrity
Movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration
Diffusion
- Special type of diffusion
* movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from higher to lower
Osmosis
Normal for plant cell
Hypotonic
More solute outside the cell
Hypertonic
- Carrier mediated
- Down the concentration gradient
- No energy required
- Example: Glucose
Facilitated diffusion
- Requires transporters
- Moves against the concentration gradient
- Requires energy (ATP)
Active transport
- ingestion of material by cell
* Requires energy
Endocytosis
- “Cell Eating”
* Plasma membrane forms a pocket that engulfs solid material
Phagocytosis
- “Cell Drinking”
* Small areas of plasma membrane invaginate to forming tiny vesicles
Pinocytosis
Invaginated pits and vesicles
Caveolae
_______ for ions are concentrated on calveolae
Receptors
Specific molecules present in low conc in extracellular fluid
Ligands
Proteins that coat inner surface of plasma membrane
Clathrins
Region invaginates and forms
Brings ligands to cell
Clathrin-coated pits
____ is uncoated
Pit
Receptor and membrane are recycled
•
Lysosome fused with remaining vesicle
Endosome
