Molecular Movement

Diffusion

• Movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration

• Molecules never stop moving

• Molecules always try to create equal concentrations!

Concentration Gradient

The gradual decrease from a high concentration to a low concentration

Molecules are said to move DOWN a concentration gradient

• If no energy is used, everything moves from an organized state to a disorganized state

• Organisms use energy to maintain an organized state

• Ex. Your bedroom

Osmosis

The movement of water from an area of greater concentration to an area of less concentration

Osmosis

What happens if . . .

H2O concentration Effect

Greater outside the cell •Water rushes into the cell•Internal pressure increases•Cell swells & bursts

Greater inside the cell •Water leaks out of the cell•Cell shrinks

More water outside than

inside

Water equal on both sides

More water inside than

outside

Animal Cell

Isotonic

• Water concentration is equalon both sides of the cell

Hypotonic

• Internal water concentration is lower than the external water concentration

• Water rushes into the cell– Causes it to lyse (burst)

Hypertonic

• Internal water concentration is greater than the external water concentration

• Water rushes out of the cell– Causes it to shrivel

Animal Cell Plant Cell

Hypotonic Swells and Lyses (Bursts)

Turgid

Normal

Isotonic Normal Flagid, Limp

Hypertonic Shriveled Plasmolized

Vacuole

• Water-filled compartment found in plant cells

• Exerts osmotic pressure on cell’s contents– Presses cell membrane tightly against cell

wall– Pressure gives plant’s structures (leaves)

firmness

Transport Systems

1. Passive Transport

2. Active Transport

Passive Transport

• Proteins move large molecules and molecules with electrical charges DOWN a concentration gradient

• NO CELLULAR ENERGY REQUIRED!

Active Transport

• Proteins move molecules UP a concentration gradient

• Uses ENERGY

• Ex. Soil w/low amounts of elements– Active Transport allows the roots to

accumulate necessary elements

Transport Systems

It goes back to Organization!

• Systems attempt to remain organized

• Must put forth ENERGY!

• Entropy—the tendency toward disorder, in a system

Active Transport MOVING MOLECULES ACROSS THEIR CONCENTRATION GRADIENT.

OSMOSIS AND SURFACE AREA TO VOLUME RATIO. The net movement of atoms, ions or molecules down a concentration gradient. Movement is from: High Low.

Diffusion (passive transport) Diffusion is the process by which molecules move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration.

Movement of Molecules in Cells

Diffusion Diffusion – net movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration Caused by random movement Is a slow.

Fundamental Biology Skills and Knowledge · Web viewChanges in their concentration can drastically alter cellular proteins and other molecules. Furthermore, changes in concentration

Diffusion: Movement of molecules from an area of high to low concentration Movement continues until equilibrium is reached –Equilibrium: molecules spread.

biologymrwest.weebly.com · Web viewActive Transport is different from passive transport in that active transport involves. The movement of molecules form high concentration to

DIFFUSION & OSMOSIS - michigan.gov · WHAT IS DIFFUSION? Diffusion is the net movement of molecules from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration of that molecule.

Movement Across the Membrane Active and Passive. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from a region of high concentration to a region of less concentration.

Osmosis and Diffusion!. IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS DIFFUSION : movement of particles from higher concentration to lower concentration DIFFUSION : movement.

Passive Transport - nausetschools.org · Passive Transport •Passive transport is the net movement of molecules from high concentration to low concentration without the direct input

Cell Transport The movement of molecules can be either passive (no energy) or active (needs energy) depending upon the membrane structure and concentration.
