Transport through cell membranes
The phospholipid bilayer is a good barrier around cells, especially to water soluble molecules. However, for the cell to survive some materials need to be able to enter and leave the cell.
There are 4 basic mechanisms:
1. DIFFUSION
2. OSMOSIS
3. FACILITATED DIFFUSION
4. ACTIVE TRANSPORT

• Diffusion is the net movement of molecules (or ions) from a region of their high concentration to a region of their lower concentration, without energy (passive).
The molecules move down a concentration gradient.
As a result of diffusion molecules reach an equilibrium where they are evenly spread out.This is when there is no net movement of molecules from either side.

What determines the rate of diffusion?There 4 factors:
1. The steepness of the concentration gradient. The bigger the difference between the two sides of the membrane the quicker the rate of diffusion.
2. Temperature. Higher temperatures give molecules or ions more kinetic energy. Molecules move around faster, so diffusion is faster.
3. The surface area. The greater the surface area the faster the diffusion can take place. This is because the more molecules or ions can cross the membrane at any one moment.
4. The type of molecule or ion diffusing. Large molecules need more energy to get them to move so they tend to diffuse more slowly. Non-polar molecules diffuse more easily than polar molecules because they are soluble in the non polar phospholipid tails.

Molecules that diffuse through cell membranes
1. Oxygen – Non-polar so diffuses very quickly.
2. Carbon dioxide – Polar but very small so diffuses quickly.
3. Water – Polar but also very small so diffuses quickly.

Osmosis ‘The diffusion of water from an
area of high concentration of water molecules (high water potential) to an area of low concentration of water (low water potential) across a partially permeable membrane.’

OSMOSIS
EQUILIBRIUM. Equal water concentration on each side. Equal water potential has been reached. There is no net movement of water

Osmosis
Two solutions with the same solute concentration are isotonic No movement of solute or water
Solution with a greater solute concentration is hypertonic Water will move into the solution
Solution with a lesser solute concentration is hypotonic Water leaves the solution

Facilitated diffusion Large polar molecules such as
glucose and amino acids, cannot diffuse across the phospholipid bilayer. Also ions such as Na+ or Cl- cannot pass.
These molecules pass through protein channels instead. Diffusion through these channels is called FACILITATED DIFFUSION.
Movement of molecules is still PASSIVE, does not require energy
Molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration

Active Transport
Movement across the membrane that requires energy
Can be from low concentration to high concentration

Active Transport Endocytosis
Process of taking materials into the cell by means of infoldings, or pockets, of the cell membrane
When large particles are taken into the cell this is called phagocytosis.
