Transport So far we have studied two types of cellular transport: Diffusion Osmosis Both of these involve getting to EQUILIBRIUM so that concentrations are equal. Ask the students to define/explain diffusion in their own words. Get them to see the connection between the words equilibrium and equal.
Passive Transport REVIEW POINT: Example: Osmosis and diffusion are types of passive transport, since they happen easily. Passive transport is the movement of solutes across a membrane without the use of energy. Example: If you were in a crowded room and there was an empty room across the hall, some people would move to the other room naturally so everyone would have more space. This is like equilibrium.
Active Transport Sometimes, cells needs to hoard materials or wants none of something. Examples: Food Charged particles Poisonous chemicals Key Point #1: Active transport is the opposite of passive transport because solutes move from an area of lower concentration to higher concentration. Active transport is the use of ENERGY to pump molecules against an equilibrium. Ask them what cells would need to hoard and get some examples before you reveal
ACTIVE TRANSPORT HIGH LOW
ACTIVE TRANSPORT HIGH LOW
Analogy Think of passive transport (or diffusion and osmosis) as water running downhill; no one has to help it. However, to carry water uphill takes a lot of effort. This is active transport since it does not happen by itself.
Types of Active Transport Key Point #2 - Active Transport can be used to get large amounts of solids, or liquids in and out of the cell, or pump things in or out (proteins) A. Endocytosis- taking in large things -Phagocytosis-solids Pinocytosis-liquids B. Exocytosis- putting large things out
Where does energy come from? So the cell uses energy to perform active transport. Where does this energy come from? Key Point #3: When cells need energy, they use a molecule called adenosine triphosphate or ATP. For now all you need to know is that ATP gives the cell energy, more on this in the next unit Student voices, yay. Movement, reproducing, eating, making proteins, making macromolecules, repairing itself, making organelles. Etc.
Practice: Active (A), Passive (P) Requires Energy
Practice: Active (A), Passive (P) Moves toward equilibrium
Movement of solutes from high to low
= EQUAL EQUAL
Practice: Active (A), Passive (P) Moves solutes from a area of low concentration to a area of high concentration
Movement of solutes from low to high
Active! Movement of solutes from low to high HIGH LOW
Practice: Active (A), Passive (P) Water moves into a cell until the concentration inside the cell is equal to the concentration outside the cell
Equal= equilibrium= passive!

Practice: Active (A), Passive (P) Happens naturally with no use of energy
Practice: Active (A), Passive (P) Moves solutes from a area of high concentration to a area of low concentration
Diffusion Movement of solutes from high to low HIGH LOW
Practice: Active (A), Passive (P) Moves solutes against equilibrium
Practice: Active (A) Passive (P) Salt moving into a cell to equalize concentrations.

Bonus 1. Endocytosis means taking something in or putting something out of the cell? 2. Exocytosis means taking something in or putting something out of the cell? 3. What Chp. Are we on? 4. Pinocytosis refers to the cell taking in a liquid or a solid? 5. Phagocytosis refers to the cell taking in a liquid or a solid?
Equalize=equilibrium=passive! Before After
