Movement of Substances Osmosis
Learning outcomes After completing this chapter, you will able to : • Define osmosis as the passage of water molecules from a region of their higher concentration to a region of their lower concentration through a partially permeable membrane • Describe the importance of water potential gradient in the uptake of water by plants and its effect on plant and animals tissues
Diffusion • Move from HIGH to LOW concentration • “passive transport” • no energy needed movement of water diffusion osmosis
Osmosis : Passive Transport • Osmosis:diffusion of waterthrough a selectively permeable membrane • Water moves from high to low concentrations • Water moves freely through pores. • Solute (green) to large to move across.
Channels through cell membrane • Membrane becomes semi-permeable with protein channels • specific channels allow specific material across cell membrane inside cell H2O aa sugar NH3 salt outside cell
Solution Solvent - the liquid into which the solute is poured and dissolved. We will use water as our solvent today. (water) Solute - substance that is dissolved or put into the solvent. Salt and sucrose are solutes. Solutions are made of solute and a solvent
Osmosis CONCENTRATED SOLUTION DILUTE SOLUTION Cell membrane partially permeable. Sugar molecule VERY Low conc. of water molecules. Low water potential. VERY High conc. of water molecules. Higher water potential. Outside cell Inside cell
Osmosis Cell membrane partially permeable. Low conc. of water molecules. Low water potential. OSMOSIS High conc. of water molecules. High water potential. Outside cell Inside cell
Osmosis Cell membrane partially permeable. OSMOSIS Outside cell Inside cell
Concentration of water hypotonic hypertonic =solute = solvent water net movement of water • Direction of osmosis is determined by comparing total solute concentrations • Hypertonic - more solute, less solvent (water) • Hypotonic - less solute, mores solvent (water) • Isotonic - equal solute, equal solvent (water)
Effect of Water on Cells • Hypertonic Environment • High [solute], low [water] • Hypotonic Environment • High [water], low [solute] • Isotonic Environment • [water] = [solute] Hypertonic Hypotonic Isotonic
Osmosis in Sugar Solution 5% sugar solution ENVIRONMENT CELL NO NET MOVEMENT 5 % sugar solution What is the direction of water movement? equilibrium The cell is at _______________.
Osmosis in Sugar Solution Water CELL 10 % sugar solution What is the direction of water movement?
Osmosis in Sugar Solution 10 % sygar solution ENVIRONMENT CELL Water What is the direction of water movement?
Animals and Plant Cells in Isotonic Solution Isotonic Result: Water moves equally in both directions and the cell remains same size! (Dynamic Equilibrium)
Animals and Plant Cell in High Water Potential Hypotonic Solution Hypotonic Lyses Turgid Result: Water moves from the solution to inside the cell): Cell Swells and bursts open
Animals and Plant Cell in Low Water Potentials Hypertonic Crenates Plasmolysis shrinks Result: Water moves from inside the cell into the solution: Cell shrinks
Managing water balance freshwater balanced saltwater Cell survival depends on balancing water uptake & loss
Osmosis… .05 M .03 M Cell (compared to beaker) hypertonic or hypotonic Beaker (compared to cell) hypertonic or hypotonic Which way does the water flow? in or out of cell
Weeee!!! high low Summary • Osmosis is Diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane. • Occurs until water is balanced on both sides of the membrane.
What type of solution are these cells in? A C B Hypotonic Hypertonic Isotonic
