Anatomy of the Generalized Cell
All cells share general structures
Carry out all chemical activities needed to sustain life.
Cells are the building blocks of all living things

Cellular Physiology:
Membrane Transport
Membrane Transport – movement of substance into and out of the cell
Transport allows the cells to maintain homeostasis
micro.magnet.fsu.edu
![Page 7: Cells and Tissuesmrsavilasclass.weebly.com/uploads/1/4/0/0/14006127/... · Characteristics Cells close together Cells have free apical surface Limited matrix Bottom surface is basement](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042213/5eb7f399e0587c22552f7619/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The plasma membrane allows some materials to pass while excluding others
This permeability includes movement into and out of the cell
Transport is by two basic methods
Passive transport
No energy is required
Active transport
The cell must provide metabolic energy
![Page 8: Cells and Tissuesmrsavilasclass.weebly.com/uploads/1/4/0/0/14006127/... · Characteristics Cells close together Cells have free apical surface Limited matrix Bottom surface is basement](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042213/5eb7f399e0587c22552f7619/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Passive Transport Processes
Diffusion
Particles tend to distribute themselves evenly within a solution
Movement is from high concentration to low concentration, or down a concentration gradient
Figure 3.8
![Page 9: Cells and Tissuesmrsavilasclass.weebly.com/uploads/1/4/0/0/14006127/... · Characteristics Cells close together Cells have free apical surface Limited matrix Bottom surface is basement](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042213/5eb7f399e0587c22552f7619/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Passive Transport Processes
Types of diffusion
Osmosis – simple diffusion of water
Highly polar water easily crosses the plasma membrane
Facilitated diffusion (glucose)
Substances require a protein carrier for passive transport
![Page 10: Cells and Tissuesmrsavilasclass.weebly.com/uploads/1/4/0/0/14006127/... · Characteristics Cells close together Cells have free apical surface Limited matrix Bottom surface is basement](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042213/5eb7f399e0587c22552f7619/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Diffusion through the Plasma
Membrane

Passive Transport Processes
Filtration
Water and solutes are forced through a membrane by fluid, or hydrostatic pressure
A pressure gradient must exist
Solute-containing fluid is pushed from a high pressure area to a lower pressure area
![Page 12: Cells and Tissuesmrsavilasclass.weebly.com/uploads/1/4/0/0/14006127/... · Characteristics Cells close together Cells have free apical surface Limited matrix Bottom surface is basement](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042213/5eb7f399e0587c22552f7619/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Active Transport Processes (ATP)
Transport substances that are unable to pass by diffusion
They may be too large
They may not be able to dissolve in the fat core of the membrane
They may have to move against a concentration gradient
Two common forms of active transport
Solute pumping
Bulk transport
![Page 13: Cells and Tissuesmrsavilasclass.weebly.com/uploads/1/4/0/0/14006127/... · Characteristics Cells close together Cells have free apical surface Limited matrix Bottom surface is basement](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042213/5eb7f399e0587c22552f7619/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Active Transport Processes
Solute pumping
Amino acids, some sugars and ions are transported by solute pumps
ATP energizes protein carriers, and in most cases, moves substances against concentration gradients

Active Transport Processes
Bulk transport
Exocytosis
Moves materials out of the cell

Vesicle migrates to plasma membrane
Vesicle combines with plasma membrane
Material is emptied to the outside
