Molecular Movement and Kinetic Energy
Molecular Movement and Kinetic Energy
The movement of molecules reflects the kinetic energy they possess. Higher kinetic energy means faster movement.
Temperature and Molecular Speed
Temperature and Molecular Speed
As temperature increases, molecules move faster. Conversely, as temperature decreases, molecules slow down.
Hypertonic Solution
Hypertonic Solution
A hypertonic solution has a higher concentration of solutes compared to the cell's internal environment. This causes water to move out of the cell, leading to cell shrinkage.

Study Notes
Molecular Movement
- Molecular movement indicates the kinetic energy of the molecules.
- Larger molecules exhibit lower speed of molecular movement, while increased temperature boosts molecular speed.
Solutions and Cellular Responses
- Hypertonic solutions lead to crenation of cells.
- Hypotonic solutions cause hemolysis, leading to cell bursting due to excessive water influx.
- Isotonic solutions maintain equilibrium, preventing cell damage.
Transport Mechanisms
- Transport processes are classified as active or passive based on energy expenditure; active processes require ATP.
- Passive processes include simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis, using hydrostatic pressure or molecular energy as driving forces.
- Active processes such as phagocytosis and pinocytosis occur against concentration or electrical gradients.
Diffusion Comparisons
- Similarities: Both simple diffusion and osmosis involve movement from areas of high concentration to low concentration.
- Differences: Osmosis specifically pertains to water movement across a selectively permeable membrane, while simple diffusion applies to all molecule types.
Facilitated vs. Simple Diffusion
- Similarities: Both follow the concentration gradient and utilize kinetic energy for movement.
- Differences: Simple diffusion does not require carrier proteins, while facilitated diffusion does; facilitated diffusion typically involves larger molecules compared to the smaller molecules in simple diffusion.
Practical Applications
- Using an isotonic sports drink for DNA extraction from cheek cells is advantageous as it contains salts and concentrations compatible with the cells, reducing potential damage.
- Methylene blue dye diffuses more rapidly than other dyes due to its molecular properties.
- Molecular weight inversely affects the rate of molecular movement; heavier molecules move slower compared to lighter ones.
