Questions and Answers

Which characteristic of water contributes most to its ability to serve as a transport medium in biological systems?

  • High surface tension (correct)
  • High heat capacity
  • Neutral pH
  • Solvent properties

    • What is the main difference between diffusion and osmosis?

  • Osmosis stops at equilibrium, while diffusion continues indefinitely.
  • Diffusion occurs through a semi-permeable membrane, while osmosis does not.
  • Diffusion involves solutes, while osmosis exclusively involves water. (correct)
  • Diffusion can occur in gases only, while osmosis only occurs in liquids.

    • Which of the following statements about water's chemical nature is NOT true?

  • Water effectively promotes chemical reactions due to its solvent properties.
  • Water is a polar substance.
  • Water can dissolve many substances due to its polarity.
  • Water molecules are non-polar in nature. (correct)

    • What process involves the movement of solutes through a semi-permeable membrane to a solvent area of lower concentration?

    Study Notes

    Cell Biology - Cell Communication

    • Signaling molecules can be hydrophilic or hydrophobic
    • Hydrophilic molecules cannot cross the plasma membrane, binding to cell-surface receptors
    • Small hydrophobic molecules diffuse across the membrane, binding to intracellular receptors

    Cell Communication - Types

    • Contact-dependent: Signaling cell and target cell have direct contact, with membrane-bound signaling molecules.
    • Paracrine: Signalling cells release local mediators that act on nearby target cells
    • Synaptic: Neurotransmitters released from neurons affect target cells at synapses
    • Endocrine: Endocrine cells release hormones into the bloodstream to act on distant target cells

    Cell Membrane Structure

    • Composed of a phospholipid bilayer
    • Contains various proteins:
      • Integral proteins, spanning the membrane
      • Peripheral proteins, attached to the membrane surface
      • Channel proteins
      • Globular proteins
      • Glycoproteins
      • Glycolipids
      • Cholesterol

    Role of Water in Cell Biology

    • Water serves as an excellent solvent for a wide range of substances
    • Water's high surface tension and capillary action facilitate processes
    • Water regulates temperature through its high heat capacity and heat of vaporization
    • Water is neutral, neither acidic nor alkaline

    Processes of Substance Movement

    • Diffusion: Movement of dissolved or suspended particles from high to low concentration due to thermal energy (heat)
    • Osmosis: Movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from a high to low water concentration
    • Dialysis: Movement of solutes across a semipermeable membrane from a high to low solute concentration

    Osmosis

    • Hypertonic: Solution with higher solute concentration than the cell. Water moves out of the cell, causing the cell to shrink.
    • Hypotonic: Solution with lower solute concentration than the cell. Water moves into the cell, causing the cell to swell.
    • Isotonic: Solution with equal solute concentration to the cell. No net movement of water.

    Transport across the Plasma Membrane

    • Passive transport: Movement of substances across the membrane without energy input. Includes diffusion and facilitated diffusion
    • Facilitated transport: Movement of polar or charged substances with assistance of membrane proteins. This is a type of passive transport.
    • Active transport: Energy-dependent movement of substances across the membrane against their concentration gradient
