Transport Across Cell Membranes pg. 297 - 307
1. Passive Transport
3
Brownian Motion and Concentration Gradients p. 297-298
Brownian Motion: matter is made up of tiny particles that are in constant motion
4
Molecules always move 1) randomly 2) from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration This is called DIFFUSION
5
Concentration Gradient
The difference in concentration between the high and low concentration areas. The greater the difference in concentration – the faster the particles move Eventually equilibrium is reached

7
Why does this happen? At high concentrations the molecules ricochet off of each other and move towards the area of low concentration
8
Equilibrium Remember: at equilibrium the particles DO NOT stop moving, they continue to move back and forth across the concentration gradient.
9
Passive Transport pg. 297 - 303 NO ENERGY REQUIRED
Small molecules move by diffusion (water, oxygen, carbon dioxide) When WATER molecules move by diffusion across a membrane we call it OSMOSIS
10
Tonicity of Solution pg. 299
Hypotonic more water than in the cell Hypertonic less water than in the cell Isotonic Same amount of water
11
Tonicity of Cell pg. 299 Hypotonic ? Hypertonic ? Isotonic ?

15
Facilitated Transport (also called facilitated diffusion)
Another form of passive transport Used for molecules that are too large to cross the membrane by diffusion (i.e. glucose)
16
Facilitated Diffusion p. 303
Carrier proteins bind to larger molecules, and change their shape so molecules can diffuse through. Channel proteins provide water filled pores for charged ions to pass through
17
Transport Across Cell Membranes pg. 297 - 307
3 Types 1. Passive Transport 2. Active Transport 3. Endocytosis/Exocytosis
18
Active Transport pg Molecules move against the concentration gradient (low to high) Energy must be provided (even when we are resting, 40% of our energy is spent on active transport!)
19
Active Transport Uses specialized transport proteins and protein pumps
20
Why spend so much energy on active transport?
Maintains internal cell environments (i.e. cell’s electrical gradient, roots pull in minerals from soil, filtering blood in your kidneys)
21
Transport Across Cell Membranes pg. 297 - 307
3 Types 1. Passive Transport 2. Active Transport 3. Endocytosis/Exocytosis
22
Endocytosis/Exocytosis
For substances the cell needs to take in (endo = in) or expel (exo = out) that are too large for passive or active transport
23
Two Types of Endocytosis
1. phagocytosis (solids) 2. pinocytosis (liquids)
24
