Diffusion Diffusion: random movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. (High to Low)‫‏‬ Diffusion continues until all molecules are evenly spaced (equilibrium is reached)-Note: molecules will still move around but stay spread @out. 2011 Center for Pre-College Programs, New Jersey Institute of http://bio.winona.edu/berg/Free.htm Technology, Newark, New Jersey 5  Passive Transport: 2.

Ion channels will open and close in order to allow specific molecules to cross the @ 2011 Center for Pre-College membrane.

Protein Pumps - transport proteins that require energy to do work Example: Sodium / Potassium Pumps are important in nerve Protein changes responses. shape to move molecules: this requires energy! @ 2011 Center for Pre-College Programs, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Newark, New Jersey 8  Sodium Potassium Pump 1. Sodium ions bind to the carrier protein on the cytoplasm side of the membrane while the carrier protein removes the phosphate group from the ATP 2. The phosphate group binds to the carrier protein changing its shape 3. The carrier protein carries the three sodium ions across membrane and forces them into the environment @ 2011 Center for Pre-College Programs, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Newark, New Jersey Sodium Potassium Pump Continued 4. The carrier protein now has the correct shape to carry two potassium ions across the membrane and into the cell; the potassium ions bind to the carrier proteins 5. The phosphate group (from the ATP earlier) is released, and the carrier original shape is restored 6. This causes the potassium ions to be released into the cytoplasm @ 2011 Center for Pre-College Programs, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Newark, New Jersey 9  Sodium Potassium Pump Sodium Potassium Pump Pumps Three Pumps Two Sodium Ions Potassium Ions Out of the Cell Into Cell @ 2011 Center for Pre-College Programs, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Newark, New Jersey Types of Active Transport 2. Endocytosis: taking bulky material into a cell Uses energy Cell membrane in-folds around food particle “cell eating” forms food vacuole & digests food This is how white blood cells eat bacteria! @ 2011 Center for Pre-College Programs, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Newark, New Jersey 10  Types of Active Transport 3. Exocytosis: Forces Endocytosis & Exocytosis material out of cell in bulk animations membrane surrounding the material fuses with cell membrane Cell changes shape – requires energy EX: Hormones or wastes released from cell @ 2011 Center for Pre-College Programs, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Newark, New Jersey Effects of Osmosis on Life Osmosis- diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane Water is so small and there is so much of‫‏‬it‫‏‬the‫‏‬cell‫‏‬can’t‫‏‬control‫‏‬it’s‫‏‬movement‫‏‬ through the cell membrane. @ 2011 Center for Pre-College Programs, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Newark, New Jersey 11  Osmosis Animations for isotonic, Hypotonic Solution hypertonic, and hypotonic solutions Hypotonic: The solution has a lower concentration of solutes and a higher concentration of water than inside the cell.

Result: Water moves equally in both directions and the cell remains same size!

In plants the pressure exerted on the cell wall is called tugor pressure. A protist like paramecium has contractile vacuoles that collect water flowing in and pump it out to prevent them from over-expanding. Salt water fish pump salt out of their specialized gills so they do not dehydrate. Animal cells are bathed in blood. Kidneys keep the blood isotonic by remove excess @ 2011 Center salt and water. for Pre-College Programs, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Newark, New Jersey 14
