Getting Into and Out of Cells

2. Types of Cell Transport
Passive Transport
- no cellular energy required to occur
- goes with the concentration gradient
- diffusion
- facilitated diffusion
- osmosis
Active Transport
- requires cellular energy to occur
- goes against the concentration gradient
- Endocytosis/Exocytosis

3. Concentration Gradient
The concentration gradient is the distribution of particles across space from high to low concentration

4. Diffusion Primary means of cell transport
- molecules move from high to low concentration
- movement continues with the gradient until
the molecules are evenly distributed
- equilibrium is achieved

5. Passive Transport
Energy for passive transport comes from the molecules themselves
In passive transport, molecules move with the
concentration gradient
- move from high concentration to low concentration

6. Facilitated Diffusion
Particles move with the concentration gradient
across a transport protein in the membrane
- ions, sugar and amino acids all move into and
out of cells by facilitated diffusion

7. Osmosis Is the diffusion of water through a membrane .
If the concentration of water is higher outside a cell than inside, water moves into the cell.
If the concentration of water is higher inside of a cell than outside, the water moves out of the cell.

8. Active Transport Uses cellular energy/ ATP
Goes against the concentration gradient
- Low concentration to High concentration

9. Endocytosis Endocytosis – taking things into cells
Phagocytosis- cell eating – takes in food
Pinocytosis- cell drinking – takes in liquid
- membrane encircles food or liquid, forming a vacuole
White blood cell engulfing
bacteria (bacillus)

10. Exocytosis Exocytosis-moving materials out of cells
- wastes/ undigestible material
- cellular products like: antibodies, hormones, enzymes and neurotransmitters
-vacuole/vesicle containing the substance travels to the cell membrane where it fuses and releases it contents out of the cell

1) When you walk into a bakery you can smell the bread baking. This is the process of diffusion where molecules spread out and fill the space. This helps cells maintain conditions necessary for life ex oxygen enters cells and carbon dioxide leaves cells.
2)The materials move without using the cell’s energy. Cells benefit from passive transport because some materials can move in or out without any input of energy
3) Plants wilt due to osmosis where water moves through a membrane. As the soil dries the water leave the plant cells by osmosis and they shrink. This can be remedied by watering the plant and water will fill the cells giving them shape

4) Active transport is the process of using energy to move materials through a membrane. This is important to cells for being able to remove excess salt from the body. 5) Endocytosis is where the cell moves materials that are too large into the cell. Where as Exocytosis is the process of moving materials that are too large out of the cell. This helps your body defend against bacteria and viruses, and expel proteins or hormones made by the cells.

6) The amount of cell membrane limits the ability of cells to either get materials through the cell membrane this is related to surface area. The larger a cell time comes when its surface area is not large enough to allow resources to travel to all parts so it stops growing. The cells shape affects the amount of surface area.
