12 The Cell Membrane Membrane Transport Selective permeability Permeability factors Molecular size Electrical charge Molecular shape Lipid solubility PLAY Doors and Channels

13 The Cell Membrane Membrane Transport Processes Passive transport Diffusion Filtration Carrier-Mediated transport Facilitated transport Active transport PLAY Membrane Transport: Cell Membrane Barrier

14 The Cell Membrane Membrane Transport Definitions Diffusion Random movement down a concentration gradient (from higher to lower concentration) Osmosis Movement of water across a membrane down a gradient in osmotic pressure (from lower to higher osmotic pressure)

15 The Cell Membrane Diffusion PLAY Membrane Transport: Diffusion Figure 3-4

16 The Cell Membrane Diffusion Across Cell Membranes Figure 3-5 PLAY Membrane Transport: Fat- and Water-Soluble Molecules

17 The Cell Membrane Osmosis Figure 3-6

18 The Cell Membrane Key Note Things tend to even out, unless something like a cell membrane prevents this from happening. Across a freely permeable or water permeable membrane, diffusion and osmosis will quickly eliminate concentration gradients.

19 The Cell Membrane Osmotic Effects of Solutions on Cells Isotonic Cells maintain normal size and shape Hypertonic Cells lose water osmotically and shrink and shrivel Hypotonic Cells gain water osmotically and swell and may burst.

21 The Cell Membrane Passive Membrane Transport Filtration Hydrostatic pressure pushes on water Water crosses membrane Solute follows water Filtration initiates urine formation

22 The Cell Membrane Carrier-Mediated Transport Membrane proteins as carriers Facilitated diffusion (no ATP required) Co-transport Counter-transport Active transport (ATP consumed) Independent of concentration gradients Ion pumps (e.g., Na-K exchange)

100 The Cell Life Cycle Cell Division and Cancer Abnormal cell growth Tumors (also called, neoplasm) Benign Encapsulated Malignant Invasion Metastasis Cancer Disease that results from a malignant tumor

101 The Cell Life Cycle Key Note Cancer results from mutations that disrupt the control mechanism that regulates cell growth and division. Cancers most often begin where cells are dividing rapidly, because the more chromosomes are copied, the greater the chances of error.
