1 Movement in Cells & Revision
Biozone: p76 – 78 Heinemann:

2 Method 1: DIFFUSION Used by unicellular organisms, and cells in your body. Basic Chemistry and Physics principles. Molecules possess kinetic energy, thus can move themselves ‘around’ – DISPERSAL.

3 Movement of a molecule from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration until equilibrium is reached. Most often seen in gases, but applies to liquids also, in solution.

4

5 Method 2: OSMOSIS Used by unicellular organisms, and cells in your body. Basic Chemistry and Physics principles. More control than diffusion due to DIFFERENTIALLY PERMEABLE MEMBRANE. a.k.a. Selectively permeable membrane

6 Movement of water molecules from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration through a differentially permeable membrane, until equilibrium is reached.

9 Description of solutions:
Hypotonic Hypertonic

10 Method 3: ACTIVE TRANSPORT
Specialised process. Breaks expectations of chemistry and physics. Against the concentration gradient, thus from low concentration to high concentration. Requires ENERGY.
