Cell Function – Cells and their Environment Chapter 7, Section 3 L2 Biology Molecules are always moving Molecules move randomly and bump into each other and other barriers Diffusion Movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration (down a concentration gradient). Continues until equilibrium is reached. Diffusion Concentration Gradient 100% - high number 0 % - lower number Diffusion Occurs without control or energy use – it is called Passive Transport Affected by: Size of molecules Size of pores in a membrane Temperature Stirring Simple Diffusion LAB – Diffusion Dialysis tubing – simulates a cell membrane Starch Water Water Iodine glucose What will happen to the starch? glucose? iodine ? WHY? Cell Membranes are Semipermeable Let some molecules pass through and not others. Small molecules pass through – ex: water Large molecules can’t pass through – ex: proteins and complex carbohydrates Which molecules will diffuse? 1 2 5 3 6 4 How long does diffusion continue? Until equilibrium is reached: This means there will be an equal distribution of molecules throughout the space – this is why odors smell strong at first, then seem to disappear Facilitated Diffusion uses carrier proteins Carrier proteins in the membrane help the molecules across faster than would be expected by diffusion alone Facilitated Diffusion: Osmosis – A Special kind of Diffusion Diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane Cytoplasm is a solution of water and solutes (stuff dissolved in the water). Water moves into and out of cells because of the different concentrations of the solutes. Different kinds of cells react differently to osmosis, depending on the solution they are in: Hypertonic Solution – More water inside cell than outside Plasmolysis Plasmolysis Cells shrink and die Iso-osmotic Solution – same concentration of water inside and outside cell Animal cell Plant cell No net gain or loss of water Hypotonic Solution – more water outside cell than inside Cytolysis – cell swells and bursts Builds up turgor pressure – cell becomes stiff, keeping plant upright Blood in different solutions: Diffusion in an animal cell: Osmosis: Active Transport Endocytosis Very large molecules or substances must enter the cell by the membrane pinching inward: Pinocytosis The cell takes in liquid droplets and forms a vacuole Phagocytosis The cell takes in large particles Exocytosis The cell gets rid of secretions or wastes Phagocytosis in action – phagocyte (white blood cell) going after a bacteria cell The End
