ACTIVE TRANSPORT
When solutes or water move “against the flow” from __________to________ concentration

Example: Protein Pump - A protein molecule acting as a “pump” to move solutes from
LOW to HIGH concentration which requires energy.
WATER HOMEOSTASIS
Cell survival depends on balancing water uptake & water loss. When conditions outside the cell
changes, and if a cell is unable maintain water homeostasis, it will become unhealthy, can get
sick and eventually die. There are three conditions that describe different water concentrations
inside and outside the cell.
Hypotonic Solution
High concentration of water around cell, cell __________ water
Example: Paramecium, single celled organism in freshwater
Problem: cells gain water, swell & can burst (lysed)
(water continually enters Paramecium cell)
solution: contractile vacuole
(pumps water out of cell)
What structure found in plant cells, but not in animal cells prevent
plant cells from becoming lysed? ________________________
Hypertonic Solution
Lower concentration of water around cell, cell _______ water
Example: Saltwater - cells in salt water
problem: cell loses water
in plants: plasmolysis
in animals: shrinking cell
solution: take up water
Isotonic Solution
Balanced conditions - no difference in concentration of water
between cell & environment; cell is in equilibrium.
The amount of water molecules flowing into the cell
equals the amount flowing out of the cell.

GUIDED NOTES - CELL MEMBRANE

The cell membrane is an organelle structure found in both _____________________ animal and plant cells and prokaryotic bacteria cells. The membrane helps regulate homeostasis – maintaining a stable internal environment - in the cell by controlling what enters (nutrients) and exits (waste) the cell. Cells need to allow some materials — but not all — to pass through the membrane. This is called __________________________ (selectively permeable ) = only some material can get in or out. There are multiple ways that the cell membrane controls which substances enter and leave the cell. The two ways in which molecules enter and exit the cell are ___________________ transport and ________________ transport. PASSIVE TRANSPORT When solutes move or “go with the flow” from ___________ to _____________ concentration this is called PASSIVE TRANSPORT as _________________ needed. There are two forms of passive transport of material in and out of the cell – DIFFUSION and FACILITATED DIFFUSION.

  1. Simple Diffusion - ___________ macromolecules, like LIPID TRIGLYCERIDES – FATS and OILS can pass directly through the phospholipid layers that make up the cell membrane. Additionally, some very small molecules like oxygen (O) and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) can also flow through.
  2. Faciliated Diffusion - _______________ macromolecules, CARBOHYDRATES - SUGAR, need to use _____________”door” molecules that act as a door in the membrane allowing non-polar molecules through. - HIGH to LOW CONCENTRATION GRADIENT - The movement of water or solutes is also based on the water or solute concentrations inside and outside the cell membrane. Simple ___________________ POLAR molecules move across the cell membrane from HIGH to LOW concentration. This is called passive transport as NO ENERGY needed. Osmosis Diffusion of WATER across the cell membrane is specifically called OSMOSIS. Water also moves across the cell membrane from HIGH to LOW concentration and is also a passive transport as NO ENERGY needed. ___________________ Diffusion NON-POLAR molecules move from HIGH to LOW through a protein channel. This is called passive transport as NO ENERGY needed. concentration concentration
