3.1 - Movement of Substances Across the
Plasma Membrane
3.2 – Understanding the Movement of
Substances Across the Plasma
Membrane in Everyday Life
3.3 – Appreciating the Movement of
Substances Across the Plasma
Membrane
LEARNING
To
OUTCOMES
state the substances required by living
cells
To state the substances that have to be
eliminated from cells
To explain the necessity for movement of
substances across the plasma membrane
To describe the structure of the plasma
membrane
To describe the permeability of the plasma
membrane
NECESSITY FOR MOVEMENT OF
SUBSTANCES ACROSS THE PLASMA
MEMBRANE
To provide nutrients for metabolism
& growth;
To supply oxygen for respiration;
To regulate solute concentration &
suitable pH for maintaining a stable
internal environment for optimal
enzymatic activities
To maintain an ion concentration
gradient required for nerve & muscle
cell activities;
To secrete useful substances, for
example, digestive enzymes &
hormones;
To eliminate toxic waste
products such as urea & carbon
dioxide
Substances can move into or
out of a cell by :
Passive transport
Simple diffusion
Osmosis
Facilitated diffusion
Active transport
Movement of substances across the plasma
membrane would depend on :
The
proteins are scattered in the
membrane giving it a mosaic
appearance
Example
: the impermeable polythene
membrane.
LEARNING
OUTCOMES
To explain the movement of substances across
the plasma membrane through the process of
passive transport
To explain the movement of water molecules
across the plasma membrane by osmosis,
To explain the movement of substances across
the plasma membrane through the process of
active transport,
To explain the process of passive transport in
living organisms using examples
PASSIVE TRANSPORT
The movement of particles
(molecules/ions) within a gas or liquid
across the plasma membrane from a
region of higher concentration to a region
of lower concentration & does not require
expenditure of energy from ATP.
