Transcript Diffusion/Osmosis
Passive Transport
Standard/Obj
Know cells are enclosed within
semipermeable membranes that
regulate their interaction with their
surroundings.
Why do vegetables wilt?
Homeostasis
biological balance between a cell or
an organism and its environment
Cell Membrane
Lipid bilayer

2.
Passive Transport-movement of any
substance across a membrane w/o
use of chemical energy
Facilitated Diffusion: transport
proteins help move materials across
cell membrane
Gated Channel: protein controlled
opening (channel), some are
permanently open
Diffusion
Process by which molecules spread from an
area of greater concentration to an area of
lesser concentration
Chemical energy not needed
Concentration gradient
Equilibrium reached
Osmosis
Process by which water molecules
diffuse through a membrane from an
area of high concen. to area of low
concen.
1.
Hypertonic
Solution
-HIGHER solute
concentration. Cell
shrinks
2.
Hypotonic Solution
-LOWER solute
concentration.
Water diffuses into
cell causing to
swell possibly
burst.
3.
Isotonic Solution
-concen. of water inside and
outside the cell are equal (solute
concen. are equal)
-equilibrium

Plasmolysis-shrinking
of a cell from low
turgor pressure
(hyper)
2.
Cytolysis-cell takes in
so much water that it
bursts (hypo)
