Diffusion, Osmosis, and Transport
CELLS Diffusion, Osmosis, and Transport
2
The Structure of Membrane Lipids
Membrane-forming lipids contain both a hydrophilic (“water loving”) region and a hydrophobic (“water fearing”) region Phospholipids structure: “Head” region, consisting of polar (hydrophilic) glycerol and a phosphate group “Tail” region is comprised of two nonpolar (hydrophobic) fatty acids
3
Semipermeable Membrane
Cells must take in nutrients and eliminate wastes in order to survive A semipermeable membrane allows certain molecules to pass through while preventing other molecules from crossing Small molecules such as water pass freely through the membrane
4
Semipermeable Membrane (cont.)
Large molecules such as proteins and sugars don’t pass freely and must be transported into the cell Although ions are small molecules, they do not pass freely through the membrane because of their charge Protein Sugar
5
Transport CELL TRANSPORT PASSIVE TRANSPORT
6
Passive Transport Movement across the cell membrane without the use of energy This movement always goes down the concentration gradient. The concentration gradient is the difference in solute concentration between two mediums separated by a membrane. Passive transport includes diffusion
7
Transport CELL TRANSPORT PASSIVE TRANSPORT DIFFUSION
8
Diffusion The movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration The rate of diffusion depends on temperature and the size of the molecules [High] [Low]

PASSIVE TRANSPORT DIFFUSION SIMPLE DIFFUSION OSMOSIS FACILITATED DIFFUSION
10
Types of Diffusion Simple—unassisted diffusion of small particles or lipid-soluble molecules Osmosis—unassisted diffusion of water Facilitated diffusion—diffusion with the help of carrier proteins

12
Active Transport Requires energy
Movement is from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration This movement occurs against the concentration gradient.

14
Moleular Active Transport
Requires energy and a carrier protein A large part of the cell’s energy is used for active tranport

16
Bulk Transport Movement of large particles into or out of the cell
Requires energy and the cell membrane

18
Types of Bulk Transport
Transport into the cell is called endocytosis Transport out of the cell is called exocytosis

20
Types of Endocytosis Phagocytosis—solid is moved into the cell
Pinocytosis—liquid is moved into the cell
