  1. Movement Through the Cell Membrane

  2. Important Vocabulary Concentration gradient: Difference in concentration from one location to another. Equilibrium: both sides of the cell membrane have equal concentration.

  3. Concentration Hypertonic: solution with a higher concentration. Hypotonic: solution with a lower concentration. Isotonic: solutions have equal concentration.

  4. Permeability Permeable: substance is able to pass through the membrane. Impermeable: substance is not able to pass through. Semipermeable: membrane is permeable to some substances, impermeable to others.

  5. Is membrane permeable, selectively permeable, or impermeable?

  6. Passive Transport Does NOT require energy. Molecules move down a concentration gradient (high concentration to low concentration). Types: Diffusion Osmosis Facilitated Diffusion

  7. Diffusion Movement of molecules in a liquid or gas down a concentration gradient.

  8. Osmosis Diffusion of water. Ex. sugar water and membrane selectively permeable to water… what will happen? ?

  9. Answer…

  10. Facilitated Diffusion Diffusion across a membrane using carrier proteins.

  11. Factors that Increase the Rate of Diffusion Hotter temperature Higher concentration Small particle size/increased surface area Increase in pressure

  12. Active Transport Molecules are pumped from low to high concentration (against the concentration gradient). Energy is required.

  13. Endocytosis Cell takes in liquids or large particles that are not able to move through the cell membrane. Process: 1. membrane surrounds substance 2. Microfilaments pull membrane, pinches off 2. vesicle forms

  14. Exocytosis Opposite of endocytosis, substances are released from the cell. 1. cell forms a vesicle around substance. 2. vesicle is transported to cell membrane 3. vesicle fuses to cell membrane, contents released.

  15. Application Molecules that are soluble in lipids tend to move across cell membranes more quickly than those that are not. Why?
