Basic Membrane Function
¨ Maintain internal cell environment at a steady state regardless of changes in the external environment ¤ Similar to the concept of homeostasis in the human body
but this is at the cellular level
¨ Acts as a selective barrier regulating the movement of substances into and out of the cell

Simple Diffusion
¨ Movement of molecules ¤ Across a semi-permeable membrane ¤ Down a concentration gradient ¤ From an area of high to low concentration ¤ No energy required
¨ Continues until equilibrium is achieved ¨ Also known as simple transport
¤ Transport across a membrane without the assistance of membrane proteins
¤ Occurs with small nonpolar molecules (e.g. O2, CO2)

Simple Diffusion
Why can’t polar molecules cross a cell membrane by simple diffusion (unaided by a protein)?
![Page 10: TRANSPORT ACROSS MEMBRANE - …€¦ · Also known as simple transport ! Transport across a membrane without the assistance of ... plasma membrane and cytoplasm away from cell wall](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022021718/5b6a99817f8b9a9f1b8c5de7/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Facilitated Transport
Compare to simple diffusion ¨ Similarities:
¤ Across a semi-permeable membrane ¤ Passive transport ¤ Continues until equilibrium is achieved
¨ Difference: a transport protein is involved in the movement of molecules: ¤ Channel and carrier proteins (integral proteins)
![Page 11: TRANSPORT ACROSS MEMBRANE - …€¦ · Also known as simple transport ! Transport across a membrane without the assistance of ... plasma membrane and cytoplasm away from cell wall](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022021718/5b6a99817f8b9a9f1b8c5de7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Channel Proteins
¨ move small charged molecules (e.g. ions) down a conc- gradient
¨ Charged particles need help crossing the hydrophobic core
¨ Channel proteins form hydrophilic pathway in the membrane so that certain ions can pass though ¤ Ex. Voltage-gated ion channels for
nerve conduction (K+, Na+…)

¨ Proteins change shape (conformational change) to allow molecules through
¨ Solute specific Advantage of solute specificity?
