All organisms are made of cellsCells are mostly liquid. Surrounding the cells
is also liquid.
Movement through Cells
*
The cell membrane separates the cell from the liquid it is bathed in.
a) It allows only certain particles to enters and leave the cell. Therefore the cell membrane is considered

Cell Membrane
All particles of matter--atoms or molecules are constantly in motion. In liquids, the molecules randomly move.*In organisms, molecules are dissolved in
liquids = solutions
Particles of liquids
What is a solution? Liquid mixture of 2 or
more substances. The substance with the
greater volume = solvent
The substance with the smaller volume = solute
Concentration =
mass of solute/volume of solution
Concentration is similar to density.
Concentration of SolutionsCalculate the
concentration in grams/liter for:
A) 100 grams of sucrose in 200 liters of water.
Set up:
B) 100 grams of glucose in 2000 liters of water.
C) 300 grams of fructose in 1200 liters of water
D) 300 grams of dextrose in 100 liters of water
100grams/200 liters =
.05 grams/liter
.5g/liter
.25 grams/liter
3 grams/liter
Particles within an organism must continuously enter and exit the cell through the cell membrane using one of four processes:• Diffusion• Osmosis• Facilitated diffusion• Active transport
Particles cross the cell membrane
The movement of a substance (liquid or gas) from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration.
The motion is random --eventually all particles spread out evenly throughout the solution = equilibrium.
Diffusion
Food coloring + water
Diffusion Demonstration
Once equilibrium is reached, the movement of particles continues, but it is equal in all directions.
Solution remains in equilibrium. Particles remain equally spaced out.*
Diffusion
The cell membrane allows many types of particles (ions, atoms, molecules) to move in and out of the cell by diffusion.
But some types of molecules are not able to cross the membrane.
What determines whether a particle can cross the cell membrane?
Diffusion Across a Cell Membrane
Complete Worksheet to find out!
Design an experiment to test the effect of the size of a particle on its ability to diffuse. Your materials:
Diffusion Across a Cell Membrane
Small particles diffuse __________ than large particles across a cell membrane
Conclusions for Diffusion:
•Only substances that can permeate the cell membrane can diffuse across it.
•Diffusion occurs from areas of high concentration of solute particles to areas of low concentration.
•The movement of particles is always taking place.
faster
The cell expends NO ENERGY on the process of diffusion
Particles cross the cell membrane
•Diffusion•Osmosis•Facilitated diffusion•Active transport
Diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane. Water diffuses from where there is less concentration of a solute (pure water) to an area of more concentration of a solute (water + other substance).
Osmosis: A special type of diffusion
Osmosis results in equilibrium when the concentration of the solutions is equal on both sides of the membrane. A solution in equilibrium is also referred to as isotonic.
Osmosis:
When solutions on both sides of the cell membrane do not have equal concentration they are described as hypotonic or hypertonic.
Hypotonic = lower concentration of soluteHypertonic = higher concentration of solute
Osmosis
Overall Direction of Water flow
Osmosis in AnimalsAt your table: Draw a picture illustrating #1 and
#2 below and answer the questions! Use arrows to show the movement of water.
1. What happens if blood cells are placed in a hypertonic solution? (saltwater)*
2. What happens if blood cells are placed in a hypotonic solution?(distilled water)*
Osmosis in Animals
Osmosis in AnimalsUnder normal bodily conditions, blood is the
liquid that surround the cells. Blood has the same concentration of solutes as
those inside the cell. This means that blood and cytoplasm are ______________________ to each other.
isotonic
Osmosis in Plants
At your table: Draw a picture illustrating #1 ,#2 and #3 below and answer the questions! Use arrows to show the movement of water.
1) What happens if plant cells are placed in a hypertonic solution (example: salt water)?
2) What happens if plant cells are placed in a hypotonic solution (example: distilled water)?
3) What happens if plant cells are placed in an isotonic solution (example: water with minerals)?
Osmosis in Plants
A plant cell is filled with proteins, sugars, salts.
The cytoplasm of plant cells is more concentrated than fresh water
The plant cell is hypertonic relative to freshwater
Since freshwater is used to water plants (not blood), the plant cells fill up with water.
Osmotic Pressure = Pressure created by water moving into a hypertonic cell.
DiffusionOsmosis*
Diffusion: Molecular Workbench
With your table answer the following question:
Why doesn’t a plant cell burst (like a blood cell) when placed in freshwater? (Hint: What is a MAJOR difference between plant and animal cells?)
Osmotic Pressure = Pressure created by water moving into a hypertonic cell.
Cell Wall is RIGID
In one-celled organisms the cell does not burst when in a hypotonic solution.
One-celled organisms have mini-pumps called contractile vacuoles. As water enters, it is pumped out of the cell.
Osmosis in one-celled organisms
Because osmosis is a special type of diffusion
Osmosis:
The cell expends NO ENERGY on osmosis

Particles cross the cell membrane
•Diffusion•Osmosis•Facilitated diffusion•Active transport
Movement of specific molecules through protein channels in the cell membrane
The protein channels are specific to a type of particle. Example: glucose moves through a protein channel that is specific to glucose.
Facilitated Diffusion
The movement of particles is two ways but always from areas of high concentration (hypertonic) to areas of low concentration (hypotonic).
Cells use facilitated diffusion for substances such as salt, sugars and starches*.
Facilitated Diffusion
The cell expends no energy on facilitated diffusion.
Particles cross the cell membrane
•Diffusion•Osmosis•Facilitated diffusion•Active transport
Active Transport: Movement of material across the cell membrane in the OPPOSITE direction of diffusion.
Active Transport
Because the flow of solute is from an area of LESS concentration to an area of MORE concentration the solute must be pumped by the cell*.
Active Transport
The cell EXPENDS ENERGY (found in molecules of ATP) on Active Transport
