Movement Through A Membrane (Cell Transport)
A few terms…  Concentration  – ratio or proportion of solute to solvent Diffusion  – Movement of materials across the cell membrane Homeostasis  – balance of materials necessary for life,  equilibrium
Add these!  Solvent  – Liquid water Solute  – solid (salt or sugar)
Cell Membrane Fluid Mosaic Model Phospholipid Bilayer Transport Proteins Selectively Permeable
 
What Needs to go Across Water Food (Glucose) Raw materials (Proteins) Waste Finished proteins
Uses No Energy Osmosis Passive Transport Facilitated Diffusion High conc    low
Osmosis Diffusion of  water  across the membrane
Diffusion/Passive Transport Movement of  other materials  across the cell membrane Facilitated  Diffusion –large molecules get help across the cell membrane Transport Proteins are “doors”
Passive Transport Equilibrium  Balance of materials on both sides of the membrane
Describing Solutions  by their Effect on Cells
Uses Energy Active Transport Low conc    high Endocytosis/Exocytosis
Endocytosis Materials  en ter the cell Cell membrane “pinches in” and forms vesicle inside the cell
Exocytosis Materials  ex it the cell Membrane wrapped particles merge with the cell membrane and are pushed into the environment
Which one is it? A B
Homeostasis Dynamic  Equilibrium Constant change  in order to stay in balance
