The Human Body = HOMEOSTASIS (maintaining a constant condition)
Maintaining Homeostasis

Transcript of Maintaining Homeostasis
Maintaining HomeostasisPassive and Active Transport
Lesson Objectives •Understand how equilibrium is established
as a result of diffusion.
•Distinguish between diffusion and osmosis.
Cellular Membrane•Membrane: function is to control what
enters and exits the cell
▫Selectively permeable
Homeostasis•All living cells exists in a liquid
environment•Internal conditions need to remain
constant▫Homeostasis▫Equilibrium=everything is balanced
•Maintain homeostasis by regulating movement of molecules across the membrane▫Passive Transport (no energy required)▫Active Transport (energy required)
Passive Transport: Diffusion•Movement of materials across the cell
membrane without using energy•Diffusion:
▫Movement of material/molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration Concentration Gradient
Passive Transport: Osmosis•When water diffuses across the cell
membrane

Effects of Osmosis on CellsHypotonic:•Lower solute
concentration outside of the cell
▫Water moves into the cell
▫Cell swells
Hypertonic:•Higher solute
concentration outside of the cell
▫Water moves out of the cell
▫Cell Shrinks
Isotonic:•Concentration
is the same inside and out
▫Water moves in and out
How does water move? “Salt Sucks”

Osmosis In Nature•Cytolysis: in a hypotonic solution red blood
cells will continue to swell until they burst▫Penicillin killing bacteria
•Contractile Vacuole: organelle in protist cells that pumps excess water out ▫ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pahUt0RCKYc&feature=relat

•Turgor Pressure: water pressure placed on the cell wall to give plant cell its shape▫Plants wilting if solution is hypertonic
•Don’t drink salt water•Diarrhea
▫Something in stools that is drawing out the water
Facilitated Diffusion•Movement of particles from higher
concentration to lower concentration•Large molecules may require “help”, they
use carrier proteins•Nervous system uses Na and Ca pumps
Lesson Objectives•Distinguish between passive and active
transport.
•Explain how sodium-potassium pumps operate.
•Compare and contrast endocytosis and exocytosis.
Active Transport
Passive Transport: down concentration gradient
Active Transport
Active TransportPassive Active
Active Transport•Requires energy to move molecules up
their concentration gradient▫Low concentration to high concentration
•Sodium-Potassium Pump•Exocytosis•Endocytosis
Cell Membrane Pumps•Requires a carrier protein •3 Na-2 K
•Requires energy
