Learning Objectives
The learners:
1.describe the structural components of the cell
membrane (STEM_BIO11/12–Ig-h-11)
2.relate the structure and composition of the cell
membrane to its function (STEM_BIO11/12-Ig-h-
12)
3.explain transport mechanisms in cells (diffusion,
osmosis, facilitated transport, active transport)
(STEM_BIO11/12–Ig-h-13)
4.differentiate exocytosis and endocytosis
(STEM_BIO11/12-Ig-h-14)

 Membrane Structure

1. Describe the plasma membrane.

2. Discuss the importance of the plasma
membrane and how indispensable it is to
the life of the cell.
3. Explain how plasma membranes are arranged in
the presence of water.
4. Enumerate structures found in a plasma
membrane.
Membrane Transport Mechanisms
• Video on Transport Mechanisms
Membrane Transport Mechanisms
Diffusion Without Membrane

Equilibrium
Passive and Active Transport
Movement of substance across
membrane
Facilitated Diffusion
Osmosis
Active Transport

• Primary Active Transport (ion-pump) – used ATP

Active Transport

• Types of Secondary Active Transport

Vesicular Transport

• Three process of endocytosis

Vesicular Transport

• Exocytosis – facilitated by membrane-bound

vesicle
Quiz
1.What is the major
component cell membrane?
2.Name of transport
mechanism that requires
channel and carrier proteins.
3. What do you call the process
that involved the movement of
water through a semi-permeable
membrane?
4. If the red blood cell will be
immersed in hypertonic solution,
what will happened to the cell?
5. A sugar molecule is
transported from lower to
higher concentration with
the aid of ATP. What do
you call this mechanism?
Essay: Questions to Answer

1.Why does putting salt on

meat preserve it from
spoilage by bacteria?

2.Why do plant dies when

applied an excessive
amount of fertilizer?
