Methods of Movement in the Cell Diffusion, Osmosis, & Active Transport p in binder

Cell Membrane Selectively Permeable “Gate Keeper” –Some substances can pass through the cell membrane while others cannot. –Good things go into the cell, bad things stay out –Ex. Water, oxygen, carbon dioxide are permeable but large molecules & salt stay out

Outside of cell Inside of cell (cytoplasm) Cell membrane Proteins Protein channel Lipid bilayer Carbohydrate chains Cell Membrane

3 Methods of Moving Substances In & Out of the Cell Diffusion Osmosis Active Transport

Diffusion Movement of molecules from an area in which they are highly concentrated to an area in which they are less concentrated. Ex. In one celled pond organisms, the oxygen moves from the water into the cell.

Osmosis Diffusion/movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane. Water moves from a high concentration of water (less salt or sugar dissolved in it) to a low concentration of water (more salt or sugar dissolved in it).

Osmosis

Osmosis in Red Blood Cells Figure A: Red blood cells are in solution in which concentration of water is the same as it is inside the cells. (Normal) Figure B: RBCs are in water with high salt concentration. Figure C: RBCs are in water with very low salt concentration, less than the cell salt concentration.

Passive Transport Riding a bike downhill doesn’t take any energy to go fast, right? But pedaling your bike uphill does. Diffusion & Osmosis are like riding your bike downhill. –Movement from high to low concentration doesn’t require energy. Passive Transport –Movement of materials through a cell membrane without using energy—high  low. (Diffusion & Osmosis)

Active Transport What if a cell needs to take in a substance that is in higher concentration inside the cell than outside? The cell would have to move the molecules in the opposite direction that they naturally do. (Pedaling uphill) Active Transport –Movement of materials through a cell membrane that requires energy. Low  High

Methods of Active Transport Transport Proteins –Proteins “pick up” molecules outside the cell and carry them in. –Ex. Calcium (Ca), Potassium (K), and Sodium (Na) Molecule to be carried Molecule being carried Energy

Methods of Active Transport (cont.d) Transport by Engulfing –Cell surrounds, or engulfs, a particle.

So…Why Is Movement of Materials Important? All living things have certain requirements they must satisfy in order to remain alive. –Exchanging gases (usually CO 2 and O 2 ), –Taking in water, minerals, and food –Eliminating wastes These tasks ultimately occur at the cellular level, and require that molecules move through the membrane that surrounds the cell.

Why Are Cells So Small? As a cell’s size increases, more of its cytoplasm is located farther from the cell membrane. Once a molecule enters the cell it is carried to its destination by streams of moving cytoplasm. In a very large cell, the streams of cytoplasm must travel farther to bring materials to all parts of the cell. Much more difficult for molecule to reach center of cell. Wastes need to be removed.

Summary Cell membrane is –A complex structure that is responsible for… Separating the contents of the cell from its surroundings Controlling the movement of materials into and out of the cell Cell movement occurs by… –Diffusion, Osmosis, & Active Transport

Osmosis Lab Read through handout EXTREMELY WELL Complete Prelab on p.185. Perform the Lab –Completed at your lab groups in 4’s. –Supplies can be found on the back lab table. –Cover cups with aluminum foil or saran wrap. Make sure that someone from your group will come in on FRIDAY to get the completed results.
