1
Transport Across Cell Membranes
Describe the various types of transport across the cell membrane. Describe a solution as isotonic, hypotonic or hypertonic Explain the result of plasmolysis on the cell.
2
Brownian motion : random motion of particles down the concentration gradient from high to low concentration until equilibrium
3
Diffusion from high to low conc.
6
A) Passive transport: movement across membrane without an input of energy.
-3 types exist:
7
Diffusion: for small molecules
Ex) O2
8
Osmosis: the diffusion of water.
9
Solution Types Hypertonic have higher solute concentration than Hypotonic. Isotonic solutions have the same solute concentration.
10
Osmosis
11
Maintaining water balance across the membrane important.
What has happened to the cell? Shrinks Outside solution was? Hypertonic Where did the water move? Outside
12
Plasmolysis : inside the rectangular cell wall.
13
Plasmolysis followed by increased turgor pressure.
14
Facilitated diffusion: uses transport proteins.
15
Ex) Glucose and starch are too big to fit through the membrane
-use Carrier proteins Ex) Ions have a charge repelled by the phospholipid tails. -use Channel proteins
16
Glucose entering by facilitated diffusion.
17
Ions entering through channel proteins by facilitated diffusion.
18
B) Active transport: -requires energy
-moves molecules against the concentration gradient -ex) plants and minerals, toxic substances
19
Identify each process across the membrane.
fac. diff B. diffusion C. fac. diff D. active transport
20
Some molecules enter by endocytosis and exit by exocytosis.
-uses a vacuole/vesicle
21
The cell membrane pinches off to form a vesicle during endocytosis while the vesicle rejoins with the membrane during exocytosis.
23
Phagocytosis: food brought in, cell eating.
Pinocytosis: fluid brought in, cell drinking.
