maintaining homeostasis
Cell Transport maintaining homeostasis Chapter 5 in textbook
2
Passive Transport Does NOT require any ATP or energy
Happens automatically Channels may be used in cell membrane
3
Passive Transport This type of transport moves from an area of high concentration to low concentration
4
Diffusion Type of passive transport
When molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration until equilibrium is met
5
What affects the rate of diffusion?
Concentration of the solution Temperature of the solution Pressure also speeds up particle motion
6
Concentration The amount of dissolved solute in a solution
Molecules will move to an area less concentrated Molecules diffuse through the cell membrane of cells
7
Concentration gradient
The difference in concentration in a solution between a cell and its surroundings
8
Concentration Gradient
No gradient - even distribution Concentration to the right Concentration Gradient
9
Increase Rate of Diffusion
Temperature Molecules move faster in higher temperatures Pressure Increasing pressure also increases rate of diffusion
10
Equilibrium This occurs when there is no longer a concentration gradient Molecules are evenly dispersed but still continue to move randomly
11
Cell Membrane Movement through membrane
Cell membrane is surrounded by water Phospholipid bilayer
12
Cell Membrane Forms by itself in water Proteins imbedded Markers
Receptors Channels
13
Diffusion in cells Small molecules diffuse in and out of the cell to reach equilibrium on both side of the membrane
14
Osmosis Diffusion of water across a biological membrane
From an area of high concentration to low concentration of WATER Comparing concentrations
15
Osmosis in Cells Cells are surrounded by water and filled with water.
Water can move freely through the membrane
16
Direction of Osmosis
17
Hypertonic Outside cell is more concentrated than cell
ex: 20% salt solution % salt solution The solution with 20% salt is hypertonic compared to the 10% salt solution
18
Hypotonic Outside the cell is less concentrated than cell
ex: 10% salt solution % salt solution The solution with 10% salt is hypotonic compared to the 20% salt solution
19
Isotonic Equal concentrations ex: 10% salt solution 10% salt solution
Equilibrium is reached
20
Osmotic Pressure Net movement of water into cells
Determined by solute concentration
21
Osmosis - hypertonic Higher concentration in solution
Ex: a cell in salt water If molecules are too large to fit through cell membrane or protein channels Water will diffuse OUT of the cell to reach equilibrium Cell shrinks
22
Osmosis - hypotonic Lower concentration in solution
Ex: a cell in pure water If molecules are too large to fit through cell membrane or protein channels Water will diffuse INTO the cell to reach equilibrium Cell swells - may burst!
23
Osmosis - Isotonic Equal concentration in solution
If molecules are too large to fit through cell membrane or protein channels Water will diffuse IN AND OUT of the cell to maintain equilibrium
24
Osmosis in Plant Cells Turgor Pressure
Pressure on the walls of the plant cells due to vacuole filling Increase in turgor pressure is increase in water to cell Plasmolysis When a cell shrinks due to lack of water
25
Red Onion Cells - Isotonic
26
Red Onion Cells - Hypertonic
27
Red Onion Cells - Hypotonic
28
Facilitated Diffusion
When the cell membrane has protein channels (carrier proteins) where materials are transported in or out of cell NO energy needed for this process
29
Active Transport Against concentration gradient
From an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration Requires cell energy (ATP) because you’re going AGAINST concentration gradient
30
3 types of active transport
Protein channels embedded in cell membrane Gated channels Need energy to open Protein changes shape when energy is used
31
Sodium/Potassium Pump
Step 1: 3 Na+ ions bind to carrier protein Step 2: ATP binds to carrier protein and changes shape allowing Na+ to move out of the cell Step 3: 2 K+ ions move into carrier protein Step 4: ATP binds to carrier protein and changes shape allowing K+ to move into the cell
32
Movement in Vesicles Endocytosis - INTO the cell
Cell membrane is used to create a vesicle around particles Phagocytosis Particle ingestion Pinocytosis Liquid ingestion
33
Movement in Vesicles Exocytosis - OUT of the cell
Vesicles created in the cell fuse with cell membrane and release particles/liquids Known as bulk transport
