The document provides an overview of cell nucleus structure and function, including the nuclear envelope, nucleolus, and chromatin. It also explains cellular transport processes, distinguishing between passive processes like diffusion and osmosis, and active processes such as active transport and endocytosis. Additionally, it mentions facilitated diffusion, which requires a carrier molecule for the transport of substances across membranes.

1. 1
Cell Nucleus
•Control center of the cell
• Nuclear envelope
• Porous double membrane
• Separates nucleoplasm from
cytoplasm
• Nucleolus
• Dense collection of RNA and
proteins
• Site of ribosome production
• Chromatin
• Fibers of DNA and proteins
• Stores information for synthesis of
proteins

3.3: Movements Into
and Out of the Cell
Passive (Physical) Processes
• Require no cellular
energy and include:
• Simple diffusion
• Facilitated diffusion
• Osmosis
• Filtration
Active (Physiological) Processes
• Require cellular energy and
include:
• Active transport
• Endocytosis
• Exocytosis
• Transcytosis

3. 3
Simple Diffusion
• Movement of substances from regions of higher concentration to
regions of lower concentration
• Oxygen, carbon dioxide and lipid-soluble substances

Animation: How Diffusion Works
Please note that due to differing
operating systems, some animations
will not appear until the presentation is
viewed in Presentation Mode (Slide
Show view). You may see blank slides
in the “Normal” or “Slide Sorter” views.
All animations will appear after viewing
in Presentation Mode and playing each
animation. Most animations will require
the latest version of the Flash Player,
which is available at
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer.

Facilitated Diffusion
• Diffusion across a membrane with the help of a channel or carrier
molecule
• Glucose and amino acids
