Transcript Homeostasis and Cellular Transport
Describe in detail the process that
is illustrated above. Include
details from each step , using
correct science terms.
Homeostasis and
Cellular Transport
To
stay alive, a cell must
exchange materials such as
food and waste with its
environment.
These
materials must cross
the cell membrane.
Passive Transport
Does not require the cell to use
energy
Diffusion
Osmosis
Facilitated diffusion
SimpleDiffusion
is the movement of molecules from an area
of higher concentration to an area of lower
concentration. (down its concentration
gradient)
concentration gradient - the difference in
the concentration of molecules across a
space

Driven by kinetic energy
energy of motion
Diffusion
Diffusion causes the concentration of
molecules to be the same throughout space
When molecules are dispersed evenly, there is
no longer any diffusion because there is no
longer a concentration gradient.
a state of equilibrium exists (balance)

Rate of Diffusion
molecules diffuse faster at higher
temperatures than at lower temperatures
smaller molecules diffuse faster than
larger molecules
Type of molecule
Water and Diffusion
The
diffusion of water across
a semipermeable membrane
is called osmosis.
Osmosis
occurs in response
to the concentration of
solutes dissolved in water.
Diffusion of Water
The
net direction of osmosis
depends on the
Hypertonic Solution
In
a hypertonic solution, the
concentration of solute
molecules outside the cell is
higher than inside the cell.
What
direction will the water
diffuse?
Water diffuses out of the cell
until equilibrium is reached.
What do you think will happen if the
cell loses too much water?
The cell will shrink and shrivel.
plasmolysis
Hypotonic Solution
In a hypotonic solution, the
concentration of solutes outside the
cell is lower than the concentration
of solutes inside the cell.
What direction will the water
diffuse?
Water diffuses into the cell
until equilibrium is reached.
How does this affect the cell?
The cell will swell and possibly burst.
Cytolysis
Isotonic Solution
In an isotonic solution, the
concentration of solutes outside and
inside the cell are equal.
How will the water diffuse across the
cellular membrane?
Water will diffuse in and out of
the cell at equal rates.

Facilitated Diffusion
To facilitate means to help.
Channel proteins and carrier
proteins
Carrier
proteins change
shape when molecules
attach. The change in shape
of the carrier protein allows
the molecule to cross the
membrane.
Active Transport
Movement
of molecules across
the membrane from an area of
low concentration to areas of
high concentration.
This
requires the cell to expend
energy(ATP).
Cell Membrane Pumps
SODIUM-POTASSIUM PUMPS IN
ANIMAL CELLS PUMP SODIUM
IONS OUT, AND POTASSIUM IN,
UP THEIR CONCENTRATION
GRADIENT.
IMPORTANT FOR MUSCLE
CONTRACTIONS, and THE
TRANSMISSION OF NERVE IMPULSES
Endocytosis and
Exocytosis
Molecules that are too large to
cross the cell membrane are
packaged in membrane-bound sacs
(vesicles) and moved across the
membrane
Endocytosis
Endocytosis
TWO TYPES ON ENDOCYTOSIS
PINOCYTOSIS – uptake of
liquids “cell drinking”
PHAGOCYTOSIS - uptake of
solids “cell eating”
Exocytosis
Exocytosis

Think: Apply what you have learned!
In plants, cells that transport water
against the concentration gradient are
found to contain many more mitochondria
than do some other plant cells. Give a
possible explanation for this?
