Presentation Transcript

  1. Diffusion, Osmosis, and the Cell Membrane

  2. Diffusion • Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. • Concentration is the amount of substance in a given space. • The smell of fresh baked bread “spreading” throughout the room is an example of diffusion. The diffusion of ink in water.

  3. Osmosis • Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane. • Osmosis occurs when water particles move from a higher concentration to a lower concentration.

  4. Osmosis Example 1: Equal movement of water in and out of cells

  5. Osmosis Example 2: More water moving into cells than is moving out

  6. Osmosis Example 3: More water moving out of cells than is moving in
