Cellular Transport: Movement of substances into and out of the cell Must pass through the cell membrane The Adventures of Osmosis Jones…….. X

All cells must exist in a liquid environment Water

Cellular transport is needed: 1.-because each cell needs specific items Ex: -items needed by mitochondria to produce energy for the cell -sugar molecules and oxygen -items needed by the chloroplast to produce food in plants -carbon dioxide and water 2. - cell also needs to give off the waste it produces. Carbon Dioxide and water Oxygen and water

Two types of cellular transports: 1.Passive Transport: Movement of items into and out of a cell but the cell does not have to use any of its own energy for it to happen. 2 Examples: -Diffusion -Osmosis

2.Active Transport: Movement of items into and out of a cell but the cell must use some of its own ATP energy in order for it to occur. -These items are either very much needed, very dangerous or too big to fit through the pores of the cell membrane 3 Examples: -Membrane Associated Pumps -Endocytosis -Exocytosis

Cell membranes are semi-permeable -certain items can move in and out of the cell and others can not. Items can move through the pores/openings. Ex??? food molecules oxygen carbon dioxide amino acids water

Passive Transport Movement of substances into and out of the cell and the cell does not use any extra energy. All molecules have motion: Solids….molecules vibrate Liquid….have more energy so they have a little more motion Gas…… molecules have a lot of energy so they have much motion

It is the motion of the molecules that moves them through the membrane with passive transport.

Two forms of Passive Transport: 1.Diffusion 2. Osmosis Both move items into and out of cell with no extra energy required by the cell.

Diffusion -Form of passive transport. -Movement of any substance from a high concentration into a lower concentration.

-Diffusion requires no extra energy. -Items move from a high concentration to a low concentration due to the motion of the molecules. -When molecules move from a high concentration into a lower concentration we say the item is moving down the concentration gradient. High Low

If diffusion is the movement of any substance from a high concentration into a lower concentration then when will diffusion stop? When the concentration is equal on both sides…..no high or low remains. This is called a Dynamic Equilibrium

Example of diffusion in our body:

Simple Diffusion

The rate of diffusion can be increased by: 1. Increase in temperature 2. Increase in surface area 3. Stirring or shaking

Osmosis: -Form of passive transport Therefore requires no extra energy by the cell -Osmosis is the diffusion of water -Therefore the water must move from a high to a low concentration -The diffusion of water is given its own name, osmosis, because water is such an important substance for all living organism.

When will osmosis stop? When there is an equal amount of water on both sides of the membrane. This is called an osmotic balance.

The direction of osmosis is controlled by the concentration of the solution located inside and outside the cell. H H L L Remember substances like water move from a high concentration to a low concentration.

Three types of solutions/environments for a cell: 1.Hypotonic solution: Hypo = low A solution where the concentration of solute molecules outside the cell is lower than the concentration of solute molecules inside the cell.

Hypotonic Environment: 98% water 2% solute 96% water 4% solute Water enters the cell. Turgor pressure increases. Cell swells in size. This is called cytolysis.

2. Isotonic solution: Iso = equal A solution where the concentration of solute molecules outside the cell is equal to the concentration of solute molecules inside the cell.

Isotonic Environment: 96% water 4% solute 96% water 4% solute Water enters and leaves the cell at an equal rate. Turgor pressure remains constant. Cell remains the same in size. This is called homeostasis or osmotic balance.

3. Hypertonic solution: Hyper = high A solution where the concentration of solute molecules outside the cell is higher than the concentration of solute molecules inside the cell.

96% water 4% solute Hypertonic Environment : 94% water 6% solute Water leaves the cell. Turgor pressure decreases. Cell decreases in size. This is called plasmolysis.

WHY DID THIS HAPPEN??????????????

Active Transport -movement across the membrane BUT the cell must expend energy in order for it to occur. Examples: Membrane Associated Pumps - MAPs Endocytosis Exocytosis

MAPs ~ Membrane Associated Pumps -energy driven protein motors that move specific types of solutes across the cell membrane against the concentration gradient. -from a low into a high concentration High Low -in order for the cell to expend energy to move items across there must be a “real” need. Items must be really, really needed or really, really toxic to the cell.

Two types of MAPs: 1. Calcium Pump 2. Sodium-Potassium Pumps The cell is only willing to pump these three items across the membrane.

Bones and teeth require a lot of calcium to remain strong. Therefore they must “hoard” large amounts of calcium. Calcium must move from a low concentration in our blood into a high concentration in the cells of both the teeth and the bones. H H L

Muscles require a lot of potassium and create a lot of sodium as a waste. Therefore they must “hoard” large amounts of potassium and get rid of the sodium. Both of these substances must move from a low concentration into a higher concentration.

MembraneMembrane Associated Pumps

Endocytosis Endo = IN Cyto = CELL Cell membrane surrounds and engulfs items taking them into the cell. Hyperlink

Two types of endocystosis: 1.Phagocytosis: -Cell surrounds and engulfs solid items taking them into the cell. Examples: Amoeba: White Blood Cells

2. Pinocytosis : - Cell surrounds and engulfs substances dissolved in water, taking them into the cell.

Endocytosis

Exocytosis: Exo = OUT Cyto= CELL -Cell membrane opens up and forces items out of the cell. Example: Contractile Vacuoles Anal pores Hyperlink

Types of Exocytosis: 1.Excretion: -waste is forced out of the cell -mucus, sweat, tears….. 2. Secretion: -items made by the cell and needed in other places are forced out of the cell. -hormones, digestive enzymes, saliva

Exocytosis

Scenario If a bone cell is surrounded by 100 units of calcium and it has 50 units already stored in it what will occur? 50 units of Ca+ 100 units of Ca+ 25 units move in by diffusion / 75 / Finally, as many as possible of the 75 units of Ca+ will move in due to MAPs
