Cellular Transport: movement of materials in and out of a cell Homeostasis: combination of two words Homeo = same Stasis = steady Homeostasis: the process of keeping internal conditions stable
Cell membrane: phospholipid bilayer
Types of Cellular Transport Passive Transport Diffusion Facilitated diffusion Osmosis Active Transport Endocytosis Exocytosis
Diffusion: movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
Equilibrium: state of having equal concentrations
Facilitated Diffusion: the diffusion of molecules across a membrane through a special protein
Osmosis The movement of water across a membrane
Osmosis vs Diffusion: What is the difference? Osmosis is always the movement of WATER It moves water across a selectively permeable membrane through which the solute (dissolved particles) cannot cross
Three types of Osmotic solutions You will see the following: 1. solute concentrations 2. arrows illustrating the direction of water 3. the type of solution
Hypertonic Solution
Hypotonic Solution
Isotonic Solution Equal solute concentration on the outside and inside of the cell
Hypotonic IsotonicHypertonic Osmosis on Animal Cells
Osmosis on Plant Cells
Active Transport Movement of a substance across an area of low concentration to high concentration that requires energy Two types Endocytosis Exocytosis Uses a transport protein to help it enter or leave the cell: carrier, channel, or gate
Endocytosis Process in which a cell take IN a large particle EnterCellProcess
Exocytosis Process in which a cell releases materials out of the cell
