• We will write it at the end of this lesson

Objectives• Explain why cellular transport is important• Identify the parts of a solution and what affects

concentration• Determine movement of substances across a cell

membrane by comparing concentrations in- and outside the cell

• Use data to describe how cellular transport affects efficient cell size

What do cells need to do to survive?Metabolism

• includes chemical reactions that convert energy from food to energy for life processes, like moving, repairing, and growing

• cells take in essential materials such as oxygen and glucose, a food source for cells

• cells get rid of waste such as carbon dioxide and lactic acid, a waste product from when a cell breaks down food with little oxygen

• many substances, like water, flow into and out of the cell

Page 4: Cellular transport

Cellular TransportIn order to undergo metabolism, a cell must undergo cellular transport

• constant flow of materials into and out of cells through the cell membrane, or the semi-permeable outer covering of the cell

Concentration A solution is made up of two

parts: solute and solvent

The concentration of a solution indicates the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent

Consider the image on the right•What is the solution?•What is the solvent?•What is the solute?•Which cup has the highest concentration?•Which cup has the lowest concentration?

Page 8: Cellular transport

Active and Passive Transport Materials can move into and out of a cell with the

use of energy (active transport) or without the use of energy (passive transport)

Whether the cell uses active or passive transport depends on the concentration gradient, or the concentration of the substances outside of the cell (extracellular environment) compared to the concentration of the substances inside the cell (intracellular environment)

Page 9: Cellular transport

Active and Passive Transport Equilibrium occurs when the concentration of the

solute in the extracellular environment is balanced with the concentration of the solute in the intracellular environment

Equilibrium is reached in passive transport

Equilibrium is not reached in active transport

Diffusion and OsmosisDiffusion is a type of

passive transport where the substances move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration

Osmosis is the term used for the diffusion of water across a cell membrane
