Homeostasis and Cell Transport 5.1 Passive Transport 5.2 Active Transport
Homeostasis Biological balance with the environment Dynamic Equilibrium - occurs when the concentration of molecules of a substance is the same across a space Works to control what enters and exits the cell.
Permeability Allowing a substance to pass through a membrane. Selectively Permeable - only allowing some substance to pass through the membrane - based on size, shape, type - important in maintaining homeostasis
Passive Transport - diffusion - facilitated diffusion - gated channels NO CHEMICAL ENERGY IS USED Spontaneous Examples: - osmosis - diffusion - facilitated diffusion - gated channels
substance across a space Diffusion Moving from high concentration to low concentration Concentration Gradient - difference in concentrations of a substance across a space Osmosis - diffusion of water
Example of Diffusion
Example of Osmosis
Hypertonic Solutions Concentration of solute in the environment is greater than that of the cell - higher concentration of water inside the cell - water moves outside of the cell Plasymolysis: plant cells Crenation: animal cells
Hypotonic Solutions Concentration of solute in the environment is less than that of the cell - higher concentration of water outside the cell - water moves into the cell Cytolysis: animal cell Turgid: plant cell (homeostasis) Contractile Vacuole for protists
Isotonic Solutions Concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell are equal No net movement of water Flaccid: plant cells (fatal) Animal cells: homeostasis RBC’s .9% saline

Keep in mind…
Passive Transport (2) Facilitated Diffusion - use of carrier molecules or transport proteins -molecules are too large or not soluble in lipids EX. Glucose and Insulin Ion Channels - protein controlled passage - solutes enter on an “as needed” basis EX. Nerve Cells

Ion Channel
Active Transport - Endocytosis (pinocytosis and phagocytosis) Requires the use of CHEMICAL ENERGY (ATP) Examples: - Sodium-Potassium Pump - Endocytosis (pinocytosis and phagocytosis) - Exocytosis
Sodium-Potassium Pump Occurs in muscle cells Found in the plasma membrane 3 Sodium (Na+) leave and 2 Potassium (K+) enter AGAINST the concentration gradient Uses carrier molecules
Sodium-Potassium Pump
Endocytosis Allows large molecules to enter the cell without passing through the cell membrane Phagocytosis solid particles Ex. white blood cells Pinocytosis liquid particles Ex. Electrolytes entering the cell
Endocytosis
Exocytosis Allows large molecules to exit the cell without passing through the cell membrane Uses vacuoles and vesicles -proteins made in the ribosomes are released in this fashion after they travel to the golgi apparatus -contractile vacuoles
Exocytosis
