1. Define diffusion:
The movement of molecules from an
area in which they are highly
concentrated to an area in which they
are less concentrated.
2. Define gradient:
An increase or decrease in the amount
of a concentration observed in passing
from one point or moment to another.

• French botanist working with
plant cells between 1824 and
1830.
• He looked for cells in animals,
but was unable to find any.
• He also discovered and
named the phenomenon of
osmosis, which is the
passage of a liquid through a
semi-permeable membrane.
• First to carefully study
respiration and light sensitivity

• Surface area to volume
ratio
• Concentration gradient
• Size of molecule(s)
• Same things effecting
diffusion.

• The surface of a cell (membrane) is where it exchanges
materials and its external environment.
• This surface must allow sufficient exchange to support the
contents of the cell.

As an object
increases in size
its volume
increases as the
cube of its linear
dimensions
while surface
area increases as
the square.
This ratio
limits how
large cells can
be.
These cubes illustrate the
surface area to volume ratio
of a small object is larger
than that of a large object of
similar shape.

are
• Semi-permeable / Permeable (Selectively)
• Membranes regulate passage of material
in and out of cell.
• Double layer of lipid with proteins
scattered throughout
• Oxygen & Carbon Dioxide can dissolve in
lipids
• Water cannot dissolve, must be passed
through protein carrier
23. Slide

• Some proteins actively
use energy from the
Adenosine
Triphosphate (ATPs)
in the cell.
• Proteins drag
molecules from area
of low concentration
to areas of high
concentration (work
against diffusion).
• An example of this is
the sodium/potassium
pump.
Here the energy of a
phosphate (shown in red) is
used to exchange sodium
atoms for potassium atoms.

Diffusion of water through a semi-permeable
membrane
• Water is 70-95% of living cells
• Cell has no control over osmosis, dependant
on water concentration
25. Slide

• This experiment
demonstrates the process of
osmosis.
• Water flows through a semi-
permeable membrane into a
sugar solution, diluting the
solution.
• The sugar molecules cannot
pass through the membrane,
so the water outside remains
pure.

Hypotonic Isotonic Hypertonic
"HYPO" means
less
"ISO" means the
same
"HYPER" means
more
There are less solute
(salt) molecules outside
the cell, since salt
sucks, water will move
into the cell.
The water will move
back in forth but it won't
have any result on the
overall amount of water
on either side.
There are more solute
(salt) molecules outside
the cell, which causes
the water to be sucked
in that direction.

Two types of active transport
1. Endocytosis
— endo means internal; within
— cyt means cell
2. Exocytosis
— exo means external; from outside
— cyt means cell

Involves moving material through the plasma
membrane and incorporation of the bulk
material into a vacuole.
a)Phagocytosis involves the
engulfing of solid materials.
b)Pinocytosis involves the engulfing
of liquid materials.
