  1. CELL TRANSPORT

  2. How substances get across the membrane…

  3. Diffusion Across Cell Membrane • Semi-permeable membrane • Allows only certain molecules across • H2O • CO2 and O2

  4. Passive Transport • Movement of substances across the cell membrane • Requires no energy from the cell • Diffusion is the simplest type of passive transport

  5. DIFFUSION • Movement of molecules from HIGH concentration to LOW concentration • Concentration Gradient - the difference between concentrations in space • Simple diffusion only allows certain molecules across a membrane

  6. Eventually it will hit an equilibrium(same concentration across the gradient)

  7. OSMOSIS • A type of diffusion • Process by which WATER molecules diffuse across a membrane from high to low concentrations

  8. 10% Salt Solution • % solutions have to equal 100 • 10% salt (solute) would leave how much water (solvent)? • 90% water

  9. Hyper = above tonic refers to the • Iso = same shape of the cell • Hypo = below

  10. How Cells Deal With Osmosis • Animal Cells: • Contractile Vacuoles • Collects water and expels it from the cell

  11. How Cells Deal With Osmosis Plants: • Turgor Pressure • Water pressure that is exerted against cell wall

  12. Plasmolysis – loss of turgor pressure • Plants wilt • Cytolysis – cells burst due to hypotonic solution cell is in

  13. Facilitated Diffusion-needs a carrier protein

  14. Ion Channels • Transport ions such as Na, K, Ca and Cl • Can’t pass through membrane w/o channel

  15. Active Transport • Moving molecules from a LOW concentration to a higher concentration • Moving “up” their concentration gradient • Requires energy from in cell • ATP

  16. Active Transport • Need a pump • Sodium-Potassium Pump • Exchanges Na and K • Na to the outside • K to the inside

  17. Other Transport Mechanisms • Endocytosis – process of ingesting macromolecules and nutrients that are too large to pass through membrane • Two types:

  18. Pinocytosis • Transport of other fluids

  19. Phagocytosis • Transport of large particles or whole cells • Phagocytes may fuse with lysosomes to destroy ingested bacteria or viruses

  20. Other Transport Mechanisms • Exocytosis – process by which materials are released from the inside of the cell • Release toxins and waste products • Release proteins • Control activity of other cells
