1 What are the Effects of Osmosis?
If you place a cell in a solution (mixture of 2 substances) Three things can happen. 1. Isotonic solution –When the concentration of water is the same inside and outside cell 2. Hypotonic solution- When there is a higher concentration of water outside cell, so water moves into cell 3. Hypertonic solution- when there is a higher concentration of water inside cell, so water moves out of cell

2 Methods of Transport Passive transport- movement from High to low concentration. No energy is used This is also called Simple diffusion Active transport- movement from low to high A. needs energy B. opposite of simple diffusion

3 Pinocytosis- cell drinking-engulfing small particles.
Phagocytosis- Cell engulfing- ex Lysosomes fuse with a bacteria for digestion Cyclosis- Movement of the cytoplasm

4 Simple Diffusion-Passive Transport
Move from HIGH to LOW concentration “passive transport” no energy needed Which way will molecules flow?

5 Active transport Cells may need molecules to move against concentration difference need to pump “uphill” from LOW to HIGH using ATP protein pump requires energy ATP

6 Transport summary

7 Isotonic Solution Balanced conditions
no difference between cell & environment example: blood problem: none water flows across membrane equally, in both directions volume of cell doesn’t change

8 Hypotonic Solution Freshwater a cell in fresh water
example: Paramecium problem: gains water, swells & can burst water continually enters Paramecium cell solution: contractile vacuole pumps water out of cell

9 Hypertonic Solution Saltwater a cell in salt water example: shellfish
problem: lose water plasmolysis in plants shrinking cell solution: take up water
