Presentation Transcript

  1. Passive Transport Bio 5-1

  2. Passive transport • The ability for selected substances to pass through the cell membrane without any help or added energy • Diffusion • Osmosis • Facilitated Diffusion • Ion channels

  3. Diffusion • Molecules move from areas of high concentration to low concentration

  4. Concentration gradient • Differences in concentration across a distance • *remember concentration is how much “stuff” there is in something*

  5. Why/how do the molecules move • Kinetic energy – all substances are constantly moving, the molecules are bumping into one another in moving off in new directions • Greater KE = faster molecular movement

  6. Equilibrium • The substance is the same throughout • All substances want to reach equilibrium

  7. What gets diffused • Only molecules that are soluble in lipids • Carbon dioxide, oxygen and so on • AND very small molecules that do not dissolve in lipids because they fit between the pores

  8. Osmosis • Process by which water moves from higher to lower concentration gradients

  9. hypOtonic means the cell swells O Direction of osmosis

  10. How cells regulate water • Contractile vacuole – absorbs water and then squeezes it out, outside the cell (requires energy) • Pump out solutes – lowers concentration inside cell so water does not want to come in

  11. Plant Cell a. ________________ b. __________________ c. _________________ • Plant cell wall – rigid non expanding structure that limits the amount of water that can be in cell • Turgor pressure – force of expanding cell pushing on cell wall • Plasmolysis – when cell membrane shrinks away from cell wall due to lack of water (hypertonic) results in plant wilting hypotonic hypertonic isotonic

  12. hypotonic hypertonic • Some cells can not regulate concentrations • Red blood cells isotonic If it bursts… cytolysis

  13. Facilitated Diffusion • Used for molecules that cannot readily diffuse through the membrane • Uses carrier proteins in membrane (integral proteins) • Moves molecules from high concentration to low

  14. Glucose is one major molecule that uses this. It can work in either direction *** proteins are specific to the molecule they carry, they will not allow any others

  15. Ion channels • These transport specific ions • Na+Cl- K+Ca+ and more • Some channels are always open, some are gated • Gates open to one of 3 stimuli • Stretching the plasma membrane • Electrical signal • Chemical signal
