Homeostasis & Transport

Section 1: Diffusion & Osmosis
3
Homeostasis Homeostasis: the biological balance between a cell or an organism and its environment Cells maintain homeostasis by controlling and regulating what gets into and out of the cell.

Diffusion Diffusion: the process by which molecules move from an area of greater concentration to an area of lower concentration
5
Diffusion
6
Brownian Motion Brownian Motion: molecules are in a constant state of random motion
7
Brownian Motion
8
Concentration Gradient Concentration Gradient: the difference in concentration of a substance across a space
9
Dynamic Equilibrium Dynamic Equilibrium: a state that exists when the concentration of a substance is the same throughout a space

Review of Cell Membrane Structure
12
Diffusion Across Membranes Not all molecules can diffuse through all membranes. The ability of a molecule to pass through a membrane depends on the size and type of molecule and the molecular structure of the membrane. Not all molecules can diffuse through all membranes. The ability of a molecule to pass through a membrane depends on the size and type of molecule and the molecular structure of the membrane. Small nonpolar molecules can diffuse through the cell membrane
13
Osmosis Osmosis: the diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of lower water concentration

Contractile Vacuoles Contractile Vacuole: an organelle in microorganisms that excretes water collect excess water → contract → squeeze out water Contractile Vacuole: an organelle in microorganisms that excretes water collect excess water → contract → squeeze out water
21
Study the diagram below. It represents a container that is divided by a semipermeable membrane. A different solution in its initial state is shown on each side of the membrane. 1.Describe which molecule(s) will move through the membrane and which molecule(s) will not. 2.Describe the relative rates at which the molecule(s) will move across the membrane. 3.Describe in which direction the molecule(s) will move. 4.Describe how long the molecule(s) will continue to move.

Review of Cell Membrane Structure
25
Passive Transport Passive Transport: the movement of any substance across a cell membrane without the use of cell energy Diffusion Osmosis Facilitated Diffusion Gated Channel Passive Transport: the movement of any substance across a cell membrane without the use of cell energy Diffusion Osmosis Facilitated Diffusion Gated Channel
26
Facilitated Diffusion Facilitated Diffusion: a process in which substances move down their concentration gradient across the cell membrane with the assistance of carrier proteins Examples: glucose, fructose, & ions Facilitated Diffusion: a process in which substances move down their concentration gradient across the cell membrane with the assistance of carrier proteins Examples: glucose, fructose, & ions

Gated Channel Gated Channel: a protein-lined gated passage making cell membranes permeable to certain large molecules as needed Example: neuromuscular function Gated Channel: a protein-lined gated passage making cell membranes permeable to certain large molecules as needed Example: neuromuscular function

Active Transport Active Transport: the movement of any substance across a cell membrane with the use of energy from ATP Sodium-Potassium Pump Endocytosis Exocytosis Active Transport: the movement of any substance across a cell membrane with the use of energy from ATP Sodium-Potassium Pump Endocytosis Exocytosis
33
Sodium-Potassium Pump Sodium- Potassium Pump: an active transport mechanism that moves ions in order to achieve polarization
36
Proton Pump Proton Pump: an active transport mechanism that consumes ATP (energy) to force Hydrogen ions against the concentration gradient
