Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a partially permeable membrane from a region of higher water potential to lower water potential. The cell surface membrane and vacuole membrane in plant cells are partially permeable, allowing water but not solutes like sugar to pass through. If a cell is placed in a solution with higher or lower solute concentration than the cell cytoplasm, water will move in or out of the cell by osmosis to equalize the water potential across the membrane. This can cause the cell to burst, shrivel, become turgid and rigid, or become flaccid and plasmolyzed depending on the direction of water flow.

Need of classification :
Identifying organism and placing them into groups according to their significant features and their relationship with other
organism.
Two Kingdom system of classification:
Linnaeus divided the iving organism into two kingdom i.e. plantae and animalia.
Each Kingdom was divided into phyla and divisions.Each phylum or division is divided into classes .
A class is subdivided into orders.
And order is divided into small groups called families.
Each family comprises of many genera and each genus were included into one or more species.
1. Plantae:
Food is stored in form of starch. Plant cell is bounded by
made up of cellulose hemicellulose etc.
Chloroplast is used for photosynthesis.
Vacoule single and large and if player is called topoplast.
There is no locomotion in plants .
Irritability and sensitivity is also seen in plants example is
Mimosa pudica.
Growth is present.
Reproduction is done by vegetative method , sexual
method and asexual method.
2. Animalia:
In this food is stored in form of glycogen.
There is no cell wall.
Vacuoles are many and small.
There is no chloroplast.
Animal show both locomotion and movement.
They also show irritability and sensitivity. Reproduction
is done by sexual and asexual method.
Drawbacks of two kingdom classification:
organism can't be easily placed either in plant and or in animal kingdom because they possess dual characters of
both kingdoms.
example euglena: it has two characteristics --- it can respire like plants with photosynthesis. It can do locomotion
like animals
Fungi cannot do locomotion like plants but the food is stored in form of starch.
Some of the organisms like virus cannot be place in in either of of these two kingdoms because they show both
living and nonliving characteristics.

Describe how a selectively permeable membrane is involved in osmosis.pdfarjunanenterprises
Describe how a selectively permeable membrane is involved in osmosis. Include the role that the
solute concentration plays in the direction of water movement. Now think about how this process
may differ between plant and animal cells. For instance, how might cell walls disrupt the role of
solute concentration and cause one to refute a hypothesis for the direction of water movement
based on water concentration alone?
Solution
Let me first briefly descibe you how does osmosis happen. Consider there are two compartments
contaning a particular solute in a solvent seperated by a semi permeable membrane. If there
exists a solute difference between the two compartments, then solvent moves from the region of
lower conceration (with respect to solute) to higher concentration (with respect to solute) until it
reaches equilibrium. That means semi permeable membrane is permeable to solvent. Now comes
the situation of in vivo (i.e., within the body). The cells, whether from animals or plants are
usually hypertonic in nature that means cells have higher ionic concentration compared to its
external environment (water is the solvent). Then how do these cells maintain such a higher ionic
concentration by refuting the process of osmosis/diffusion. First let us consider the plant cell.
Plant cell has two coverages, namely plasma membrane and cell wall. Cell wall in plant cell is
made up of cellulose and cellulose is a polysacharide provides the rigidity to the cells. Actually,
it is the plasma membrane which does not allow the movement of water molecules to cross based
on gradient of solutes. Let me talk about the cell wall at the end of this answer. What makes that
plasma membrane to refute the law of osmosis ? It is its structural organization. Plasma
membrane is made up of phospholipids, cholesterol and proteins mainly. Phospholipids are
oriented in bilayer form facing its hydrophilic (water loving) head at both the ends interacing
with cytoplasma and extracellular environment and its hydrophobic (water hating) tails are
oriented deep within the membrane interacing each other. Plasma membrane of either plant or
animal are highly impermeable to the solutes and water. Permeability of plasma membrane
highly depends on the nature of solutes. If solute is smaller in size and hydrophobic in nature it
diffuses through the membrane quiet easily but it is difficult for the hydrophilic and largge size
solutes. Charge of the solutes also plays the major role. It is not only based on the concentration
gradient but also based on charge gradient. Hence it is known as electrochemical gradient. It is
actually a beautiful mechanism of cells to produce energy required for the cell based on
electrochemical gradient (within mitochondria) And for water, it is difficult to pass through.
There is a term called \"Activation energy\". Energy need to be supplied in order to facilitate the
movement of solutes.Lower the activation energy, lesser the energy required and vica versa.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. We have learnt that Diffusion is:
The movement of particles/molecules from a region of
their higher concentration to a region of their lower
concentration down the concentration gradient
Now Osmosis is a special case of diffusion
It refers to the movement of water molecules
Across a partially permeable membrane
Can you define osmosis using this information?
Where would you find a partially permeable
membrane in a cell?
3. The cell surface membrane
and the membrane around
the vacuole in a plant cell
are partially permeable
An easy way to understand
this is to think of them as
having lots of small holes or
pores.
Water is a tiny molecule
that can pass through these
pores but solutes (like
sugar) are too big
sugar water
The volume on the
left increases as water
moves in
Draw this in your notes
on page 3
4. The potential for water to move from one side
of a membrane to another depends on the
amount of dissolved solute in the water.
Imagine you are pouring a glass of juice:
5. This drink has more
solute
So it has less water
This drink has less
solute
So it has more water
You would find this
drink much stronger
We say it is a more
concentrated solution
You would find this a
weaker drink
We say it is a dilute
solution
Note that the differences are relative; that means we are comparing
these two drinks and deciding which is stronger or weaker
6. Osmosis takes place across a partially permeable
membrane
If the solutions on either side have different
concentrations then there will be a water potential
gradient
Remember a STRONG concentration means LESS
water
And a WEAK concentration means MORE water
Water has the potential to move from where there
is more to where there is less
Or from a WEAKER solution to a STRONGER one
7. Osmosis is the movement of water
molecules from a region of higher water
potential to a region of lower water
potential, down their water potential
gradient, across a partially permeable
membrane
Highlight this definition in your notes (p3) and
learn it!
8. Living cells are surrounded by a partially
permeable membrane
The concentration of the solution surrounding
a cell will affect the cell
Remember that plant cells are surrounded by a
rigid cell wall – so they behave differently
9. If you put a red blood cell
in pure water (weak
solution) the cytoplasm is
more concentrated
Water would move in to
the cells by osmosis
from the higher water
potential in the water to
the lower water potential
in the cell
Across the partially
permeable membrane
10. The volume of the
cytoplasm would increase
The cytoplasm will push
against the membrane
The membrane will burst
See how swollen these cells
are, when the pressure inside
is too great they will burst
There are a lot of steps explaining this process; you
need to know them all! Use this information to fill in
the first part of your table on page 4
11. If we place red blood
cells in a concentrated
solution the cytoplasm
is less concentrated
Water would move out
of the cells by osmosis
from the higher water
potential in the cells to
the lower water
potential in the solution
Across the partially
permeable membrane
12. The volume of the
cytoplasm would
decrease
The cells would shrivel
13. If you put a plant cell in pure
water (weak solution) the
cytoplasm and vacuole are
more concentrated
Water would move into the
cells by osmosis
from the higher water
potential in the water to the
lower water potential in the
cell
Across the partially
permeable membrane
14. The volume of the
cytoplasm would
increase
The cytoplasm will push
against the membrane
and the cell wall
The cell wall will
counteract this pressure
so no more water can
enter the cell
The cell becomes turgid
This gives plants support
15. Plant cells don’t burst
because of the wall
Imagine blowing up a
balloon in a box
Eventually you
wouldn’t be able to
blow any more air in
16. If we place these plant cells
in a concentrated solution
the cytoplasm and vacuole
are less concentrated
Water would move out of
the cells by osmosis
from the higher water
potential in the cells to the
lower water potential in
the solution
Across the partially
permeable membrane
17. The vacuole and cytoplasm
shrink
The cell is now FLACCID
It does not help support the plant
and the plant wilts
If water continues to move out
the cytoplasm shrinks more and
pulls the membrane away from
the cell wall
The cell is now PLASMOLYSED
Have a look at this if you can
Again you need to know all these steps; so fill in the rest of your table and learn
them
