CELLULAR TRANSPORT Chapter 3, Section 2

Section 8.1 Summary – pages 195 - 200 Osmosis: Diffusion of Water Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. In a cell, water always moves to reach an equal concentration on both sides of the membrane. Section 8.1 Summary – pages 195 - 200

Section 8.1 Summary – pages 195 - 200 Osmosis: Diffusion of Water The diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane is called osmosis. Regulating the water flow through the cell membrane is an important factor in maintaining homeostasis within a cell. Section 8.1 Summary – pages 195 - 200

Section 8.1 Summary – pages 195 - 200 Passive Transport When a cell uses no energy to move particles across a membrane passive transport occurs. Concentration gradient Plasma membrane Section 8.1 Summary – pages 195 - 200

Section 8.1 Summary – pages 195 - 200 Passive Transport by proteins Passive transport of materials across the membrane using transport proteins is called facilitated diffusion. Channel proteins Concentration gradient Plasma membrane Section 8.1 Summary – pages 195 - 200

Section 8.1 Summary – pages 195 - 200 Passive Transport by proteins Some transport proteins, called channel proteins, form channels that allow specific molecules to flow through. Channel proteins Concentration gradient Plasma membrane Section 8.1 Summary – pages 195 - 200

Section 8.1 Summary – pages 195 - 200 Passive transport by proteins The movement is with the concentration gradient, and requires no energy input from the cell. Carrier proteins Concentration gradient Plasma membrane Step 1 Step 2 Section 8.1 Summary – pages 195 - 200

Section 8.1 Summary – pages 195 - 200 Passive transport by proteins Carrier proteins change shape to allow a substance to pass through the cell membrane. Carrier proteins Concentration gradient Plasma membrane Step 1 Step 2 Section 8.1 Summary – pages 195 - 200

Section 8.1 Summary – pages 195 - 200 Passive transport by proteins In facilitated diffusion by carrier protein, the movement is with the concentration gradient and requires no energy input from the cell.

Section 8.1 Summary – pages 195 - 200 How active transport occurs Each type of carrier protein has a shape that fits a specific molecule or ion. Carrier proteins Concentration gradient Plasma membrane Cellular energy Step 1 Step 2 Section 8.1 Summary – pages 195 - 200

Section 8.1 Summary – pages 195 - 200 How active transport occurs When the proper molecule binds with the protein, chemical energy allows the cell to change the shape of the carrier protein so that the particle to be moved is released on the other side of the membrane.

Section 8.1 Summary – pages 195 - 200 How active transport occurs Once the particle is released, the protein’s original shape is restored. Active transport allows particle movement into or out of a cell against a concentration gradient.
