Study Notes
Active Transport Worksheet
- Active transport requires energy, unlike passive transport
- Active transport moves molecules against the concentration gradient
- Active transport moves molecules from a low concentration to a high concentration
- The energy needed for active transport is ATP
- Exocytosis means substances are moved out of the cell
- Endocytosis means substances are moved into the cell
Additional Information
- Endocytosis is the process of taking in large molecules into a cell
- Exocytosis is the process of releasing substances from a cell
- Phagocytosis is a type of endocytosis used to engulf large particles (e.g., food)
- Pinocytosis is a type of endocytosis used to engulf fluids or dissolved molecules
- Diagrams show processes of endocytosis and exocytosis
- Questions and answers regarding osmosis, active transport, and passive transport, and their relationships, are also present
- Active and passive transport comparisons are given
- Osmosis is the movement of water across a membrane
- Hypertonic solutions have a higher concentration of solutes outside the cell
- Hypotonic solutions have a lower concentration of solutes outside the cell
- Isotonic solutions have the same concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell
- Diagrams of isotonic, hypertonic, and hypotonic environments for both animal and plant cells are shown
- Processes of diffusion and osmosis are included
Cellular Transport Review
- Hypertonic: Greater solute concentration outside the cell
- Hypotonic: Lower solute concentration outside the cell
- Isotonic: Equal solute concentration inside and outside the cell
- Osmotic pressure causes swelling/bursting in animal cells (cytolysis)
- Plasmolysis: Shrinking of plant cells in a hypertonic solution
- Diagrams of cells in different solutions are included
- Diffusion is the movement of molecules from high to low concentration
- Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane
- Transportation terms definitions and descriptions are present
Cell Membrane
- Cell membranes are flexible and allow organisms to move
- Homeostasis is a balanced internal condition in (cells)
- Cell membranes maintain homeostasis by controlling what enters and leaves the cell
- Cell membranes are selectively permeable allowing some molecules through but not others.
- Homeostasis is also known as equilibrium
Additional Points
- Lipid bilayer composition of the cell membranes is discussed
- Examples of molecules that can easily diffuse across cell membranes (e.g., oxygen, carbon dioxide)
- Processes of simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, active transport, osmosis, endocytosis, and exocytosis are presented
- Active transport, an example of which is the Na+-K+ pump, uses cellular energy to move substances against their concentration gradient.
- Endocytosis is the taking in of material by cell membrane infoldings
- Exocytosis involves the release of materials from cell
- Types of endocytosis, including phagocytosis and pinocytosis, are outlined
- Some molecules only pass through cell membranes with help of protein channels.
