    Study Notes

    Cell Membrane and Transport

    • The cell membrane primarily regulates what enters and exits the cell, maintaining homeostasis and protecting cellular integrity.
    • Passive transport does not require energy for the movement of materials across the cell membrane.
    • Diffusion is the movement of molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.
    • Osmosis is a specific type of passive transport where water molecules move through a selectively permeable membrane from a higher water concentration to a lower water concentration.
    • Facilitated diffusion involves proteins providing pathways for large molecules to diffuse into the cell without energy input.
    • Active transport requires energy to move molecules against their natural concentration gradient.

    Organelles in Plant vs. Animal Cells

    • The chloroplast is an organelle found in plant cells that is absent in animal cells, responsible for photosynthesis.
    • The vacuole in a plant cell stores substances, maintains turgor pressure, and plays a role in metabolism and storage.

    Types of Transport

    • Active transport moves substances across the membrane against the concentration gradient, using cellular energy, often through ATP.
    • Passive transport methods include diffusion and facilitated diffusion, both requiring no energy.

    Cell Division

    • Cell division serves four main functions: growth, repair, reproduction, and maintaining genetic integrity.
    • Structures essential for cell reproduction include the nucleus, centrioles, and spindle fibers.

    Summary of Processes

    • Osmosis encompasses water movement across membranes; diffusion refers to solute movement influenced by concentration gradients.
    • Energy is vital for active transport but not for passive transport mechanisms.
