TRANSPORT ACROSS THE CELL MEMBRANE — “LIPID BILAYER”
“FLUID MOSAIC MODEL”
PASSIVE TRANSPORT TAKING THE EASY ROAD
PASSIVE = REQUIRES NO ENERGY
PASSIVE TRANSPORT = DIFFUSION
DIFFUSION . . .
DIFUSION = OSMOSIS --- WATER !!!
OSMOSIS . . .
1) Hypertonic --- salt solution = shrink & shrivel 2) Isotonic --- tap water = normal cell 3) Hypotonic --- distilled water = swell & burst
“FACILITATED” DIFFUSION
carrier proteins are specific for the substances they transport
ACTIVE TRANSPORT = USES ENERGY
ACTIVE TRANSPORT . . .
phagocytosis & pinocytosis time to eat & drink — a cell engulfing a substance is an example of active transport phagocytosis & pinocytosis
