MOVEMENT IN AND OUT OF THE CELL DR MOATAZ BEDEWEY MOVEMENT IN AND OUT THE CELL 1. Diffusion: The net movement of particles from a region of their higher concentration to a region of their lower concentration down a concentration gradient, as a result of their random movement. *Down and up or against concentration gradient* Down a concentration gradient means from higher concentration to lower concentration. against concentration gradient means from lower concentration to higher concentration reasons of diffusion : 1- Random movement of the different molecules that provides energy for diffusion. 2- Presence of a difference in concentration of a certain substance. *Factors affecting the rate of diffusion: (TADS) 1. Temperature Increase in temperature increases the rate of diffusion as it increases the kinetic energy of the molecules. EX : if you hold o tube containing a substance such as ammonia in your hand, rate of diffusion increases as the molecules of the substance gain heat from your hand) 2- Distance of diffusion The longer the distance the longer the time taken for diffusion and vice versa. 3-Air current If the direction of current is similar to that of diffusion, it increases the rate of diffusion and vice versa 4-Stirring It increases the rate of diffusion as it increases the kinetic energy of molecules 5-Size of molecules 6-Surface area to volume ratio When increases it leads to an increase in rate of diffusion 7-Concentration Gradient ( difference in concentration) Increase in difference of concentration leads to an increase in rate of diffusion 1 Necessary for exchange of gases in all living organisms. 2. Necessary for obtaining carbon dioxide and release of oxygen in the process of photosynthesis 2. Active transport or active uptake : Definition Movement of particles in or out of a cell through the cell membrane, from a region of their lower concentration to a region of their higher concentration against a concentration gradient using energy released during respiration Carrier proteins Protein found in cell membranes that force particles against their concentration gradient. Carrier proteins are specific means each type of carrier has a specific precise shape that can bind with specific particle) How carrier proteins act? The solute molecule or ion is taken in the binding site of the carrier molecule. The carrier molecule rotates wind energy to transfer the solute from region of its lower concentration to region of its higher concentration. Factors affecting active uptake: 1. Number of mitochondria as in the mitochondria energy is released by the process of Aerobic respiration, this energy is used in active uptake. 3. Concentration of oxygen. Increase in oxygen concentration increases the rate of aerobic respiration. 4. Number of carrier proteins in the membrane 3.OSMOSIS What is osmosis Net movement of water molecules from a region of higher water potential (dilute solution). to a region of lower water potential (Concentrated solution) through a partially permeable membrane. Plant cells and osmosis If a plant cell is placed in high If a plant cell is placed in low potential of water (e. distilled potential of water (high water or diluted solution.) concentrated solution of salt of Sugar) The cell gain water by The cell loses water by osmosis osmosis The vacuole enlarges and the if it loses a small amount of cell water The Vacuole shrinks becomes turgid and the cell becomes flaccid (Turgor pressure is the but the cell membrane pressure acting remains attached to the cell wall against an inelastic cell wall) If the cell gains water it gains its turgidity The turgidity is necessary once more ( reversible for supporting the plant process). The pressure inside the plant If it loses more water, the cell can be cell membrane separates increased due to absorption away from the cell wall and of water without being burst the cell becomes as it is surrounded by plasmolyzed. a rigid cellulose cell wall. Plasmolysis : It is the shrinkage of cytoplasm of a plant cell so that the cell membrane begins to tear away from the cell wall It is an irreversible condition because it damages the cell membrane when it tears away from the cell wall. Its a sensation caused by the process of osmosis Turgor pressure within cells water pressure acting against an inelastic cell wall eded to support plant flaccid soft and limp not firm. Animal cells and osmosis An animal cell is placed in higher water potential The cell gains water and bursts, therefore the pressure inside the animal cell cannot be higher than that inside the plant cell. If an animal cell is placed in lower water potential cytoplasm shrinks and the cell shrive up (It not plasmolysed as plasmolysis includes separation of the cell membrane away from the cell wall and the animal cell has no cell wall) animal cell in lower water potential (shriveled cell) animal cell in higher water potential (cell burst) Comparison diffusion osmosis 1- It is applied for movement 1.It is applied for the of any type of is applied for movement of molecules of the movement of water only molecules 2. A partially permeable 2-A partially permeable membrane must be always membrane not always involved involved Variant questions The differences between uptake of water and uptake of minerals by the root hair cells 1- Uptake of water takes place by the process of osmosis which is a passive process does not need energy) while uptake of minerals takes place by the process of active uptake which is an active process (needs energy). 2- In uptake of water, the molecules of water move from regions of their higher concentration (potential), while in uptake of minerals the molecules move from regions of their lower concentrations to regions of their higher concentrations against their concentration gradient). Remember that No active transport for water or gases Water potential of a substance: It is the measure of how much water there is in it, and how easily the water molecules can move around EX : A substance containing a lot of water has a higher water potential, while a substance containing little water has a lower water potential. What is meant by water potential gradient Presence of difference in water potential of different media. Water molecules move down concentration gradient, means move from region of higher water potential to region of lower water potential. WHAT is the Importance of osmosis to plants Absorption of water by the root hair cells Prevents wilting of the plant and provides support by turgidity Practical work 1. If a piece of plant such as potato tuber is placed in a concentrated solution of salt or sugar its length decreases This due to loss of water from the cell where water potential is higher to the surrounding solution where the water potential is lower. (Decrease in this represented in a negative value ex: -1, -2) 2. In the above condition if a weight is hanged to the potato tuber as in figure below the tuber becomes unable to support the weight as its cells become flaccid) 3. piece of plant such as potato tuber is placed in distilled water or a dil solution of salt or sugar its length increases This is because it is water from the surrounding solution where water potential is other than that of potato tissues Increase in length is repented a positive value +1 , +2...) 4- In the above condition weight is hanged to the potato tuber as in figure below the tuber becomes able to support the weight as its cells become turgid. 5- Salting (e. salting of, c Sugaring of food (e.q. making lam) are important ways in food preservation. Explain why As most microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi cannot live in media of high concentration of salt or sugar, because such media have low water potential, as a result of this microorganism lose water by osmosis and then die 6-Plants die as a result of irrigation with sea water Sea water has high contractions of salts ex : low potential outside the plant roots so the water moves from inside the plant to outside by osmosis , so the plants wilt and die. 7- Mean average length samples The total of the samples divided by the number of samples Example If potato strips of the same length Ex: If 50 mm of potato strips is put in the same water for the same period of , the final lenghth is measured the result are 51,52,54 and 59 to calculate the mean add the lengths then divide the produced value by 4 In the above example how to get more reliable values Exclude the value 59. as it seems to be anomalous and calculate the mean of the 3 values 8- Why reposting an experiment are times in important before takin conclusion ? For more reliable results as taking the average may reduced due to defect in one or more of the samples or due to personal errors In measurements. 9. How to determine glucose concentration in potato Put potato rods of the same length and obtained from the some potato in different concentrations of glucose, the concentration of glucose that result in no change in potato is equal to that in potato because at this concentration of water net movement is zero ( means that the amount of water lost is equal to that gained) 10-if a plant stem is cut vertically as shown and each of the produced parts is placed in a different concentration of sugar 1. The outer layer in waterproof layer therefore it is not affected by changes in water potential 2. and therefore, it does not change in length but the inner soft tissue in the one placed in a concentrated sugar solution lost water by osmosis causing cells to shrink or become plasmolyzed. 3. therefore, it decreases in length than its outer waxy layer while the other one placed in distilled water (zero sugar gained water by osmosis therefore its cells become turgid and increase in length.
