Desmosomes Hold two cells together Intermediate filaments (made of protein
keratin) Provide mechanical stability and strength Like rivets fastening cells into strong
sheets Tissues: skin, uterus, heart

Tight Junctions Create impermeable seals around cells Example: digestive tract tube does not
allow enzymes from digestive tract to pass through bloodstream
Animal cells only Prevents leakage of molecules

Communication junctions “passageways between cells that allow
transfer of chemical or electrical signals” Two kinds:
plasmodesmata gap junctions

Gap Junctions Narrow tunnels made of protein connexins Prevents cytoplasm of each cell from
mixing Allows passage of ions/small molecules Tunnels-1.5 nm diameter Gap between cells- 2-3 nm Pattern of channel formation determines
permeability

Endocytosis (endo = inside, cyto = cell)
Capture of substances outside the cell when the plasma membrane merges to engulf it.
***There are three types of endocytosis1. phagocytosis2. pinocytosis3. receptor-mediated
![Page 14: Cell Junctions. “serve to anchor cells to one another or to provide a passageway for cellular exchange.” Three major types: Desmosomes Tight junctions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649f135503460f94c27843/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Pinocytosis (pino = to drink, cyto = cell)
Pinocytosis occurs when dissolved materials enter a
cell. The plasma membrane folds inward to form a channel allowing the liquid to enter. The
plasma membrane closes off the channel, encircling the liquid inside a vesicle.
Oils enter cells through pinocytosis
![Page 15: Cell Junctions. “serve to anchor cells to one another or to provide a passageway for cellular exchange.” Three major types: Desmosomes Tight junctions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649f135503460f94c27843/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Phagocytosis (phago = to eat, cyto = cell)
Phagocytosis occurs when undissolved solids enter a
cell. The plasma membrane wraps around
the solid material and engulfs it, forming a
vesicle. Phagocytic cells, such as white blood cells, attack and engulf bacteria
in the manner.
![Page 16: Cell Junctions. “serve to anchor cells to one another or to provide a passageway for cellular exchange.” Three major types: Desmosomes Tight junctions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649f135503460f94c27843/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis
Occurs when specific molecules bind to specialized “receptors”
(proteins) in the plasma membrane. The membrane, the
receptors, and the specific molecules, called ligands, fold
inward forming vesicles. Hormones target special “target
cells” by receptor-mediated endocytosis.

Exocytosis (exo = outside, Cyto = cell)moving substances outside the cell
Process of vesicles fusing with the plasma membrane and releasing their content to the outside
of the cell.

Passive Transport No energy expended by the
cell Goes “downhill” with the
concentration gradient Substances move from [HI] [LOW] Examples: diffusion, osmosis,
facilitated diffusion
![Page 19: Cell Junctions. “serve to anchor cells to one another or to provide a passageway for cellular exchange.” Three major types: Desmosomes Tight junctions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649f135503460f94c27843/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Diffusion
Solution = solute + solvent Solute- substance that is dissolved Solvent- substance that does the dissolving
(fluid) Solute particles dissolved in a solvent are
constantly in motion. Temperature motion
This constant motion causes DIFFUSION Diffusion- movement of particles from areas of
high concentration to areas of low concentration

Osmosis and Tonicity Hypertonic- the solution that has [solute]
Water flows toward the hypertonic environment
Hypotonic- the solution that has [solute]
Water flows away from a hypotonic environment
Isotonic- the solutions have equal concentrations of solute (no net osmosis)

Carrier – Mediated Transport
Active Transport (Sodium-Potassium Pump)
• Needed because Na+ and K+ constantly leak through membrane
• One ATP utilized to exchange three Na+ pushed out for two K+ brought in to cell
