Understanding Lipids, Proteins, and Transport in Cellular Membranes - Prof. M. Newcomer, Study notes of Biology

A portion of a biology textbook focusing on the structure and function of cellular membranes. It covers the fluid mosaic model, membrane models, membrane fluidity, lateral movement of phospholipids, membrane proteins and their functions, and the synthesis and sidedness of membranes. The text also discusses the role of transport proteins, facilitated diffusion, passive transport, active transport, and ion pumps in maintaining membrane potential.

Hydrophobic - dissolve in the lipid bilayer

Polar molecules (e.g. sugars) do not cross the membrane easily

“Transport proteins” allow passage of hydrophilic substances

--channel proteins, hydrophilic channel that select molecules or ions

can use as a tunnel

aquaporins facilitate the passage of water

-- carrier proteins , bind to molecules and shuttle them across the

Contracting vacuole (b) When full, the vacuole and canals contract, expelling fluid from the cell. Water Balance of Cells with Walls

  • Cell walls help maintain water balance
  • Plant cell in hypotonic solution swells until the wall opposes uptake; the cell is now turgid (firm)
  • If a plant cell and its surroundings are isotonic, there is no net movement of water into the cell; the cell becomes flaccid (limp), and the plant may wilt
  • In a hypertonic environment, plant cells lose water; eventually, the membrane pulls away from the wall, a usually lethal effect called plasmolysis Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Facilitated Diffusion: Passive Transport Aided by Proteins

Ion Pumps Maintain Membrane Potential

  • Membrane potential - voltage difference across a membrane -distribution of positive and negative ions
  • electrochemical gradient-
  • -ion’s concentration gradient

  • Small molecules and water enter or leave the cell through the lipid bilayer or via transport proteins
  • Large molecules, such as polysaccharides and proteins, cross the membrane in bulk via vesicles
  • Bulk transport requires energy © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Exocytosis

  • In exocytosis , transport vesicles migrate to the membrane, fuse with it, and release their contents
  • Many secretory cells use exocytosis to export their products © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Animation: Exocytosis Endocytosis
  • In endocytosis , the cell takes in macromolecules by forming vesicles from the plasma membrane
  • Endocytosis is a reversal of exocytosis, involving different proteins
  • There are three types of endocytosis
  • Phagocytosis (“cellular eating”)
  • Pinocytosis (“cellular drinking”)
  • Receptor-mediated endocytosis © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Animation: Exocytosis and Endocytosis Introduction
  • In phagocytosis a cell engulfs a particle in a vacuole
  • The vacuole fuses with a lysosome to digest the particle © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Animation: Phagocytosis
  • In pinocytosis , molecules are taken up when extracellular fluid is “gulped” into tiny vesicles © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Animation: Pinocytosis

Fig. 7-UN Active transport: ATP You should now be able to:

  1. Define the following terms: amphipathic molecules, aquaporins, diffusion
  2. Explain how membrane fluidity is influenced by temperature and membrane composition
  3. Distinguish between the following pairs or sets of terms: peripheral and integral membrane proteins; channel and carrier proteins; osmosis, facilitated diffusion, and active transport; hypertonic, hypotonic, and Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings^ isotonic solutions
  4. Explain how transport proteins facilitate diffusion
  5. Explain how an electrogenic pump creates voltage across a membrane, and name two electrogenic pumps
  6. Explain how large molecules are transported across a cell membrane Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
