Title: Passive Transport (moving particles in with the concentration gradient)


1
Passive Transport(moving particles in with the
concentration gradient)
2
Diffusion
  • Movement of molecules from areas of high
    concentration to areas of lower concentration.

3
Concentration Gradient
  • The difference in concentration of molecules
    across a space

4
Equilibrium
  • When there is no concentration gradient.

5
Osmosis
  • The movement of water across a membrane (Special
    type of diffusion)

3 Types of Solutions
  • Hypotonic Solution - less
  • Isotonic Solution - same
  • Hypertonic Solution - more

Hypotonic Solution

Hypotonic Solution
  • Solution that has less dissolved solutes than the
    cell.

Instead Water flows from where it is most
concentrated HIGH
Salt would like to flow out of the cell but it
cannot get out because of the cell membrane.
Into the cell where there is more salt and less
water LOW
Less salt on outside of cell LOW
More salt on the inside HIGH

Isotonic Solution
  • Solution that has an equal amount of solutes as
    the cell.

15
How Cells Deal With Osmosis
  • Paramecium have a contractile vacuole to get rid
    of excess water.

16
Turgor Pressure
  • The pressure that water exerts against a cell
    wall.

17
Plasmolysis
  • When plant cell membranes pull away from the cell
    wall.

18
Facilitated Diffusion
  • Molecules that cannot diffuse rapidly through the
    membrane use facilitated diffusion to get through
    the membrane with the help of a carrier protein.

19
Carrier Proteins
  • Carrier Proteins- are found embedded in the
    membrane that change shape to allow larger
    molecules to cross.

20
Ion Channels
  • Open and close to allow ions to flow down their
    concentration gradients.
