DIFFUSION Food, water, and other substances are made of different kinds of particles, such as molecules and ions.  Particles are always moving, like dancers on a crowded dance floor.

Solutions are made of 2 parts: Solute: Substance that is dissolved Solvent: Liquid (solute) it is dissolved in

You can tell how particles will tend to move if you know how crowded they are. Concentration refers to how crowded particles are. A juice concentrate is a very strong form of juice. It has many more juice particles than regular juice does.

In a concentrate, the juice particles are very crowded.  When you mix the concentrate with water, the juice particles spread out in the water. They tend to move away from places where they are concentrated  Thus, the particles become less concentrated.

Particles will continue to move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration until they reach equilibrium. This process is called diffusion.

What is a Concentration Gradient? Concentration gradient: the difference in concentration of molecules in physical space Particles move down their concentration gradient in diffusion high low Weeee!!!

Watch the demonstration with food coloring in water, then answer the following:  Explain why the dye spreads out in the water. Use the words concentration and diffusion in your answer.

Diffusion Through a Cell Membrane Cells also need food and water to live Substances move into and out of the cell through its cell membrane A cell membrane is like the cell’s skin.

Just as ink diffuses in water, some substances can diffuse into and out of a cell through its cell membrane.

Which molecules will diffuse in each of the figures below?

ANSWERS No Movement

Reviewing Vocabulary 1.Some substances move into and out of cells by diffusion. 2.The word concentration refers to how crowded particles are. 3.Some particles diffuse into and out of cells through the cell membrane 4.Particles tend to move toward places where they have a low concentration. 5.Particles tend to move away from places where they have a high concentration 6.Give one example of diffusion in your home.

OSMOSIS Most of your body is made of water. This water can move into and out of your cells Water can enter and leave your cells by diffusion.  When water DIFFUSES through a CELL MEMBRANE, the process is called OSMOSIS.

 In the picture, water is diffusing through a cell membrane.  Why is the water moving INTO the cell in the picture? Water particles Outside of Cell Inside of Cell Cell Membrane

Because water has a lower concentration inside the cell than outside the cell. Water moves into the cell by OSMOSIS.

What happens to the raisin after sitting in the water for a while?  It becomes larger  Why does this happen?

Water molecules have a lower concentration inside the raisin. Outside the raisin, water molecules are crowded. Water molecules diffuse into the raisin by osmosis.

Cells do not use energy to move particles by osmosis or diffusion Particles move freely into and out of cells. This kind of movement is called PASSIVE TRANSPORT  Complete the Vocabulary Review. PASSIVE TRANSPORT Diffusion, Osmosis and facillitated diffusion are all types of passive transport

2. Facilitated diffusion: diffusion of specific particles through transport proteins found in the membrane a.Transport Proteins are specific – they “select” only certain molecules to cross the membrane b.Transports larger or charged molecules Facilitated diffusion (Channel Protein) Diffusion (Lipid Bilayer) Passive Transport: Facilitated Diffusion Carrier Protein AB

High Concentration Low Concentration Cell Membrane Glucose molecules Protein channel Passive Transport: Facilitated Diffusion Go to Section: Transport Protein Through a  Cellular Transport From a- High Low

Vocabulary Review 1.One example of osmosis is water diffusing into a raisin. 2.Cells do not work to move molecules by passive transport. 3.Two forms of passive transport are osmosis and diffusion. 4.In diffusion and osmosis, particles move by themselves. 5.Water molecules tend to move to places where they have a low concentration. 6.Give one way that osmosis is similar to diffusion. Both move from high to low concentration.

STOP! My brain is exploding!!!!

Active vs. Passive Transport Passive Transport – does not require energy. Particles move from high to low concentration. Active Transport – does require energy because molecules are moving from low to high concentration

Animations of Active Transport & Passive TransportAnimations

Active Transport cell uses energy actively moves molecules to where they are needed Movement from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration (against a concentration gradient) (Low  High) Three Types:

Types of Active Transport 1. Protein Pumps - transport proteins that require energy to do work Example: Sodium / Potassium Pumps are important in nerve responses. Sodium Potassium Pumps Sodium Potassium Pumps (Active Transport using proteins) Protein changes shape to move molecules: this requires energy!

Endocytosis Some things the cells needs are too large to pass through the cell membrane. The cell membrane can surround a large particle located outside the cell.  The membrane forms a sac around the particle.  Then the sac opens inside the cell.

The sac moves to the membrane and then opens outside the cell. Waste particle move OUTSIDE the cell. This process of moving large particles OUT of the membrane is called EXOCYTOSIS. Large particle leave the cell in sacs too. Inside a cell, a sac forms around large waste particles. Exocytosis

Cells Maintain Balance The cell controls its food and water content by moving ions, molecules, and larger particles into or out of itself. This is how the cell maintains homeostasis. Homeostasis Simulation h17/hot_guy.html Complete the Vocabulary Review

Vocabulary Review 1.Cells use energy to move molecules by active transport. 2.Diffusion and osmosis are two kinds of passive transport. 3.Some molecules are too large to pass through the cell membrane. 4.Cells take in large molecules by endocytosis. 5.Cells must maintain a balance, called homeostasis.
