Understanding solutions, solutes, solvents, and cell transport in biology. Learn about passive transport, diffusion, osmosis, and the fluid mosaic model of the cell membrane. Helpful resources and explanations provided.
E N D
solutions Solutions have 2 parts solutes – particles that dissolve in solvent solvent – liquid in which solutes dissolve Ex: solvent: water solute: Kool-Aid solvent: water solute: Tea, Coffee
solutions Solutions can have different concentrations, [ ] Solutions can be SATURATED * solvent cannot hold any more solute * if added, more solute will fall out of solution
Cell transport Moving substances through the cell membrane
Cell membrane • Fluidmosaic model – fluid: moving mosaic: design of small pieces • combination of different moveable molecules (lipids, carbs, proteins) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qqsf_UJcfBc
Glycerol Fatty acids
Glycerol Hydrophilic Fatty acids
Glycerol Hydrophilic – love water Fatty acids Hydrophobic – fear water
Phospholipidbilayer Outside cell: water & blood Inside cell: cytoplasm (water)
I. Passive transport • Requires NO cell E • Particles pass through the c.m. w/their own kinetic E (bouncing/knocking each other through)
A. (Simple) Diffusion • Movement of small, uncharged particles • O2, CO2 • Moving through phospholipidbilayer • From an area of [high] to [low] to reach equilibrium
PASSIVE TRANSPORT • DIFFUSION some particles (CO2, O2),will diffuse straight through the lipid bilayer
[Hi] This represents a [ ] gradient [Lo]
[Hi] What will happen? [Lo]
[Hi] Is it finished? [Lo]
B. Facilitated Diffusion • Movement of small particles that have a charge or are slightly larger than O2, CO2 Ex: glucose, water • Move through specific protein channel/carrier • From an area of [high] to [low] to reach equilibrium
Cell membrane: Proteins • Embedded PROTEINS
Cell membrane: Proteins • Embedded PROTEINS
PASSIVE TRANSPORT • DIFFUSION other particles (ex: glucose) will have to pass through the protein channels
C. Osmosis (facilitated diffusion) • Movement of water • Moving through special protein channel, aquaporin • From an area of [high] of water to [low] of water to reach equilibrium
