Factors affecting transport: cell membrane
 The cell needs to absorb and excrete various compounds throughout its life.
 These compounds need to pass through the membrane which is made from a
phospholipid bilayer
 The phospholipid bilayer is formed by phospholipid molecules bipolar
molecule: the fatty acid side is hydrophobic, the phosphoric side is
hydrophilic
The membrane is
permeable to:
 H2O
 Gases (O2, CO2, N2)
 Lipids
 Small, neutral molecules (such
as urea)
The membrane is
impermeable to:
 Small, charged molecules
 “large molecules” such as
amino acids, glucose and
larger
 These compounds must go
through channels present in the
membrane in order to enter or
exit the cell
Factors affecting transport: Chemical gradient
 Compound moves from an
area of high concentration to
low concentration (or
concentration gradient)
 All compounds permeable to
the phospholipid bilayer will
move this way
Factors affecting transport: Electrical force
 Positive ions are attracted to
negative ions and vice versa
 Ions are repelled by ions of
the same charge (+ against +
and – against -)
Movement across the cell membrane
 Both chemical and electrical forces (electrochemical
force) drive the movement of compounds across the cell
membrane
Factors affecting the rate of transport
 The rate of transport will depend on:
 The concentration gradient
 The compound permeability to the membrane
 The type and number of charges present on the compound
Crossing of cell membrane
 fats and oils can pass directly through
inside cell
lipid
waste
outside cell
sugar
sat
aa
H2O
Types of Transport Proteins
 Channel proteins are embedded in the cell membrane &
have a pore for materials to cross
Carrier proteins can change shape to move material from one
side of the membrane to the other
Cell membrane channels
 Need to make “doors” through membrane
 protein channels allow substances in & out
 specific channels allow specific material in & out
 H2O channel, salt channel, sugar channel, etc.
inside cell
outside cell
Protein channels
 Proteins act as doors in the membrane
 channels to move specific molecules through cell
membrane

HIGH
LOW
Passive transport
Compounds will move from area of high concentration
toward area of lower concentration
 No ATP is needed for this type of transport
 Passive transport mainly TWO types
A-Osmosis
B-Diffusion-diffusion again two types
a-simple diffusion- no energy needed
b- facilitated diffusion- no energy needed
-help through a protein channel
Osmosis
 Each compound obeys the law of diffusion
 diffusion of water from HIGH concentration of water to LOW concentration
of water
 across a semi-permeable membrane
 However, some compounds are unable to cross the cell membrane (glucose,
electrolytes…)
 Water can cross  will enter or exit the cell depending its concentration
gradient.

Simple diffusionno energy needed
Movement across higher to lower concentration gradient.
Facilitated diffusionSome compounds are unable to diffuse through the membrane.
They will be allow to cross if the membrane has proteins that
can bind these compounds and enable to cross toward the area
of lower concentration
Simple and facilitated diffusion

Simple Diffusion
 Doesn’t require energy
 Moves high to low
concentration
Example: Oxygen or water
diffusing into a cell and carbon
dioxide diffusing out.
Simple Diffusion
The rate of diffusion will be increased when there is :
Concentration: the difference in between two areas (the gradient) causes
diffusion. The greater the difference in concentration, the faster the
diffusion.
Molecular size: smaller substances diffuse more quickly. Large molecules
(such as starches and proteins) simply cannot diffuse through.
Shape of Ion/Molecule: a substance’s shape may prevent it from diffusing
rapidly, where others may have a shape that aids their diffusion.
Viscosity of the Medium: the lower the viscosity, the more slowly molecules
can move through it.
Movement of the Medium: currents will aid diffusion. Like the wind
in air, cytoplasmic steaming (constant movement of the cytoplasm)
will aid diffusion in the cell.
Solubility: lipid - soluble molecules will dissolve through the
phospholipid bilayer easily, as will gases like CO2 and O2.
Polarity: water will diffuse, but because of its polarity, it will not pass
through the non-polar phospholipids. Instead, water passes though
specialized protein ion channels
Facilitated diffusion
Doesn’t require energy
Uses transport proteins to move
high to low concentration
Examples: Glucose or amino
acids moving from blood into a
cell.
Active Transport
- Pumps
- phagocytosis
- Endocytosis/exocytosis
Active transport
ATP (energy) is needed 
pump
Moves materials from LOW to
HIGH concentration
AGAINST concentration
gradient
Example-1 ATPase pumps
 The most common: Na/K pumps  reestablish membrane
potential. Present in all cells.
 Two K+ ions are exchanged with 3 Na + ions
 Example 2: the thyroid gland accumulates iodine as it is needed
to manufacture the hormone thyroxin.
 The iodine concentration can be as much as 25 times more
concentrated in the thyroid than in blood.
 Example 3: In order to make ATP in the mitochondria, a
proton pump (hydrogen ion) is required.
Endocytosis
 Endocytosis: (“Endo” means “in”).
 Endocytosis is the taking in of molecules or particles by invagination of the
cell membrane forming a vesicle. Integrity of plasma membrane is
maintained.
 This requires energy.
 Endocytosis is fallowed by exocytosis on the other side. – Transcytosis,
vesicle trafficking, or cytopempsis.
Types of endocytosis
1. pinocytosis (cell drinking): small molecules are ingested and
a vesicle is immediately formed. This is seen in small intestine
cells (villi)
2. phagocytosis (cell eating): large particles, (visible with light
microscope) are invaginated into the cell (ie: white blood cells
‘eat’ bacteria
Phagocytosis
 Used to engulf large particles such as food, bacteria, etc. into
vesicles
 Called “Cell Eating
 Capture of a Yeast Cell (yellow) by Membrane Extensions of
an Immune System Cell (blue)
Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis
Some integral proteins have receptors on their surface to
recognize & take in hormones, cholesterol, etc.
Exocytosis
 Exocytosis: (“Exo” means “out”.)
• Exocytosis is the reverse of endocytosis.
• This is where a cell releases the contents of a vesicle
outside of the cell.
• These contents may be wastes, proteins, hormones, or
some other product for secretion.
• This also requires energy.
• Example: vesicles from the Golgi fuse with the plasma
membrane and the proteins are released outside of the cell.
 Fusion of vesicle with plasma membrane is mediated
by a number of accessory proteins- SNARE protein.
 Require stimulus and Ca.
 Exception- Renin from JG cells and PTH from
parathyroid gland by decrease in intracellular Ca.
 Constitutive Secretion- Immunoglobulin from plasma
Cells and collagen from fibroblast.
 Regulated- endocrine gland, pancreatic acinar cells
