Essential Question:
How and why do substances move across the cell membrane?
Questions: Notes:
CELL THEORY
What is the cell
- Well tested description that unifies a range of observations
theory? (L1)
by multiple scientists
1. All living things are composed of cells
` 2. Cells are the basic unit of life
3. New cells are produced from pre-existing cells

Cells: come in many shapes and sizes, have a genetic material

(DNA & RNA), have a cell membrane, have cytoplasm

No nucleus = prokaryotic (bacteria)

Nucleus = eukaryotic (animals, humans, plants)

CELL MEMBRANE
Function:
1. Protects and supports the
cell
2. Regulates the transport
of materials in and out of
the cell
What do you notice Lipid bilayer: a double layer sheet of phospholipids that make up
about the lipid the cell membrane
bilayer? (L2) - Provides a flexible structure that forms a strong barrier
between the cell and its surroundings

Polar/hydrophic: water loving head face out

- Dont pass through membrane easily
Non-polar/hydrophobic: water hating tails face inside
- Pass through membrane easily
Fluid Mosaic Model: cell membrane is made of many different parts
that freely move
Embedded protein: acts as channels or pumps that help move
material across the membrane
Carbohydrate chains: act like chemical identification cords,
allowing individual cells to identify one another
Selectively permeable: some substances can pass through cell
membrane, but others cant
Summary:
Questions: Notes:

PASSIVE TRANSPORT
How are active and Solute: dissolves in solvent
passive transport Solvent: dissolves the solute
alike? How are they Concentration of solution: the mass of a solute in a given
different? (L2) solvent
- Mass/volume
Simple Diffusion: molecules move from an
area of high concentration to an area of
low concentration
Facilitated Diffusion: diffusion of large and charged molecules
through cell membrane
Channel Protein: a tunnel where large and charged molecules can
enter the cell using a gated system
Carrier Protein: protein that holds onto molecules and then
changes shape to allow the molecule to enter the cell
How is osmosis Osmosis: diffusion of water through the cell membrane via special
related to passive tunnel (aquaporin)
transport? (L3) Vacuole: storage bubble in cells that stores water, salt, proteins,
carbohydrates, ad cell waste
- Controls input and output water in living organisms
Turgid: surroundings are hypotonic, water goes in
Flaccid: surroundings are isotonic, water goes in and out
Plasmolysis: surroundings are hypertonic, water goes out

What information ACTIVE TRANSPORT

can you gather to - Process of
support the idea of transporting a
active transport? small and large
(L4) molecule against
their
concentration
gradient
- Area of low
`concentration to high concentration
- Requires energy
Summary:
The cell membrane is composed of a lipid bi layer. It contains protein, protein channels,
and carbohydrate chains. In order for molecules to enter and exit the cell membrane
they go through passive or active transport. Passive transport is when molecules move
in and out of the membrane without energy. Molecules also move from a level of high
concentration to a level of low concentration. Active transport is when molecules enter
and exit the membrane with the help of energy. These molecules move from a level of
low concentration to a level of low concentration.
