What are the Effects of Osmosis? If you place a cell in a solution (mixture of 2 substances) Three things can happen. 1. Isotonic solution –When the concentration of water is the same inside and outside cell 2. Hypotonic solution- When there is a higher concentration of water outside cell, so water moves into cell 3. Hypertonic solution- when there is a higher concentration of water inside cell, so water moves out of cell
2
Isotonic Solution –Balanced conditions –No difference between cell & environment example: blood water flows across membrane equally, in both directions volume of cell doesn’t change
3
Hypotonic Solution Higher concentration of water outside cell, so water moves into cell A cell in fresh water example: Paramecium problem: gains water, swells & can burst solution: contractile vacuole –pumps water out of cell “Hyp-o” – High in H20! Hipp-o, “O”
4
Hypertonic Solution Higher concentration of water inside cell, so water moves out of cell –a cell in salt water –example: shellfish –problem: lose water shrinking cell –solution: take up water “Hy-per” – High in particles

cell drinking-engulfing small particles.Pinocytosis- cell drinking-engulfing small particles. Phagocytosis- Cell engulfing- ex Lysosomes fuse with a bacteria for digestionPhagocytosis- Cell engulfing- ex Lysosomes fuse with a bacteria for digestion Cyclosis- Movement of the cytoplasmCyclosis- Movement of the cytoplasm
6
Methods of Transport Passive transport- movement from High to low concentration. No energy is used –This is also called Simple diffusion Active transport- movement from low to high –A. needs energy –B. opposite of simple diffusion
7
Simple Diffusion-Passive Transport Move from HIGH to LOW concentration –“passive transport” –no energy needed –Which way will molecules flow?
8
Active transport Cells may need molecules to move against concentration difference –need to pump “uphill” from LOW to HIGH using ATP –protein pump –requires energy ATP
