Ch 7.3 Cell Transport Osmosis Gizmo Name __________________________________ https://www.explorelearning.com/ Gizmo Warm-up A cell membrane is a thin “barrier” that surrounds a cell. It is a semipermeable membrane , which means that some particles pass through the membrane easily while others cannot. The Osmosis Gizmo™ portrays a cell (red square) in a solution of purple solute particles dissolved in green solvent (water) particles. Press Play ( ) and observe.
12.SUMMARIZE: You have observed examples of osmosis —the diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane. Fill in the paragraph with the following terms or phrases: (EXPAND, SHRINK, LOW, HIGH, OUT OF, INTO) During osmosis, water moves from an area of ___________________ solvent concentration to an area of ___________________ solvent concentration. When there is a higher concentration of SOLUTE particles inside the cell, water particles will move ___________________ the cell and the cell will ___________________. When there is a higher concentration of SOLUTE particles outside the cell, water particles will move ___________________ the cell and the cell will ___________________. Activity B: Effect of cell volume Get the Gizmo ready: Click Reset. Set the Solute outside to 5. Set the Initial cell volume to 40%. Question: How does changing the cell volume affect solute concentrations? 13.EXPERIMENT: Select the BAR CHART tab, and turn on Show numerical values. A. Based on solute concentrations, do you expect the cell to swell or shrink? B. Click Play , and observe. Was your prediction correct? 14.OBSERVE: Click Reset. Keep the solute set at 5. Move the Initial cell volume slider back and forth BIGGER and SMALLER. How does the initial cell volume affect the solute concentrations inside and outside the cell? A. Bigger cells have _______________ solute concentration inside compared to outside. B. Smaller cells have ______________ solute concentration inside compared to outside.
