Cells are filled and surrounded by watery fluid. This fluid helps solids move around inside, outside the cell and cross the cell membrane.
Cell Membrane The cell membrane controls what moves in and out of the cell.
Semi-permeable membrane Cell membranes only allow some solutes (solids) to move across it. Movement across the membrane depends on size and type of the solute (solid).
Types of Transport Down the concentration gradient Low concentration High concentration Up the concentration gradient High concentration Low concentration
Passive Transport Molecules move from area of high concentration to area of low concentration Movement is down the concentration gradient No energy needed Small molecules such as H2O, O2 and CO2 Active Transport Molecules move from area of low concentration to area of high concentration Movement is up the concentration gradient Energy is required (ATP) Large molecules, ions Summary: Types of Transport
Diffusion – molecules move from area of high concentration to area of low concentration.
Osmosis – water moves across membranes (diffuses) to where there is less water.
Concentrations affect Osmosis Water moves out of the cell Water moves across membrane (in/out) at equal rates. Water moves into the cell
Concentrations affect osmosis equal amount of solute in and out of cells higher amount of solute outside cells lower amount of solute outside cells
Solution is made of solutes dissolved in a liquid or gas. Hypertonic Solution = high amount of solutes Hypotonic Solution = low amount of solutes Isotonic Solution = equal amount of solutes Dynamic Equilibrium is reached when solutes and water move across a membrane at equal rates because concentrations are equal (isotonic). Homeostasis = all living systems need to maintain perfect concentrations inside each cell Let’s Review
Test your knowledge On your left side, number 1-14 (short answer) 15 and 16 Extended answers required
1. Which side is hypertonic? 2. Why? 3. Can the solutes fit across the membrane? 4. How can you describe the membrane since it is very selective about what can move across? 5. How can both sides reach equilibrium? Lower concentration of solute (sugar) Higher concentration of sugar Same concentration of sugar Selectively permeable mem- brane: sugar mole- cules cannot pass through pores, but water molecules can Water molecules cluster around sugar molecules More free water molecules (higher concentration) Fewer free water molecules (lower concentration) Water moves from an area of higher free water concentration to an area of lower free water concentration A B A B Osmosis
