Cellular Transportation
Passive transport is the transportation of
materials across a plasma membrane
without energy.
Active transport is the movement of particles
from an area of low concentration to an area
of high concentration that uses energy
provided by ATP or a difference in electrical
charges across a cell membrane.

Diffusion of Water
• The plasma membrane controls what can enter or leave a cell.
• The plasma membrane does not limit the
amount of water that passes or diffuses through.
• Remember… diffusion is the movement of particles from
an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. It is a natural result of kinetic molecular energy.

Solution is a type of mixture in which all the
components are evenly distributed. Example
Kool- Aid Drink
Solute is a substance that is dissolved in a
solution Example Kool-Aid powder
Solvent is dissolving substance in a solution.
Example the water to make Kool- Aid.

Osmosis: Diffusion of Water • In cells, the water wants to have equal
concentrations of substances on both sides of the membrane.
• The diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane is called osmosis. In other words osmosis is the movement of water or another solvent through a permeable membrane from an higher concentration to an area of lower concentration
![Page 7: Section 8.1 Cellular Transport - sedelco.org Transportation Passive transport is the transportation of ... moving against the gradient. ... Active Transport • Cells can move substances](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022512/5ae8fc6e7f8b9aee0790386b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What controls osmosis? • Regulating water flow through the plasma
membrane is important to maintaining homeostasis.
• If a strong solution and a weak solution of the same things are put in direct contact, the water molecules will diffuse in one direction.
• The water will go toward the stronger side
until the concentration is the same everywhere.
The water wants to go to the area of higher
concentration (the stronger solution)
![Page 8: Section 8.1 Cellular Transport - sedelco.org Transportation Passive transport is the transportation of ... moving against the gradient. ...

Concentration is the measure of the amount
or proportion of a given substance with
combined with another substance.
Concentration gradient is the graduated
differences in concentration of a solute per
unit distance through a solution.

Selective permeability =
like a screen
Some things can come in and some things are kept out
![Page 10: Section 8.1 Cellular Transport - sedelco.org Transportation Passive transport is the transportation of ... moving against the gradient. ...

Cells in an isotonic solution
• Same concentration on both sides
• Diffuses in and out at the same rate
• Cells retain their normal shape
![Page 12: Section 8.1 Cellular Transport - sedelco.org Transportation Passive transport is the transportation of ... moving against the gradient. ...

In an isotonic solution, water molecules move into and out of the cell at the same rate, and the cells retain their normal shape as in (A).
Notice the concave (normal) disc shape of a red blood cell in (B).
A plant cell has its normal shape and pressure in an isotonic solution in (C).
Cells in an isotonic solution – neutral …same concentration on both sides

Put the fish in an isotonic solution
It would be like putting a freshwater fish in a freshwater fish tank…
![Page 14: Section 8.1 Cellular Transport - sedelco.org Transportation Passive transport is the transportation of ... moving against the gradient. ...

Cells in a hypotonic solution
• Concentration of dissolved substance is lower in the solution outside the cell
• There is more water outside the cell
• Cells in hypotonic solutions experience osmosis that FLOWS IN
• The cell swell and internal pressure increases
![Page 16: Section 8.1 Cellular Transport - sedelco.org Transportation Passive transport is the transportation of ... moving against the gradient. ... Active Transport • Cells can move substances](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022512/5ae8fc6e7f8b9aee0790386b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Cells in an hypotonic solution – concentration of dissolved molecule lower outside the cell
In a hypotonic solution, water enters a cell by osmosis, causing the cell to swell (A).
Animal cells, like these red blood cells, may continue to swell until they burst. (B).
Plant cells swell beyond their normal size as pressure increases (C).

Cells in a hypertonic solution
• The concentration of dissolved substances is higher outside the cell than inside the cell
• Cells in hypertonic solutions experience
osmosis that causes water to FLOW OUT • Animal cells shrink in hypertonic solutions
because of decreased pressure • Plants wilt under these conditions
![Page 20: Section 8.1 Cellular Transport - sedelco.org Transportation Passive transport is the transportation of ... moving against the gradient. ... Active Transport • Cells can move substances](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022512/5ae8fc6e7f8b9aee0790386b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Cells in an hypertonic solution – concentration of dissolved molecule higher outside the cell
In a hypertonic solution, water leaves a cell by osmosis, causing the cell to shrink (A).
Animal cells like these red blood cells shrivel up as they lose water (B).
Plant cells lose pressure as the plasma membrane shrinks away from the cell wall (C).

Concentration gradient
• When we move from areas of higher concentration to lower concentration, we are moving with the gradient.
• When we move from areas of lower concentration to higher concentration, we are moving against the gradient.

A diffusion gradient
The molecules are more densely packed on
the left and so they tend to diffuse into the
space on the right. This is a diffusion gradient

Passive transport by proteins
• Transport proteins in plasma membrane help or “facilitate” movement of substances through the membrane
• This movement is with the concentration gradient
• It requires no energy

What is facilitated diffusion?
• Facilitated diffusion is a process in which
substances are transported across a
plasma membrane with the concentration
gradient with the aid of carrier (transport)
proteins. IT DOES NOT REQUIRE
ENERGY!

Passive Transport
Passive transport can occur by (A) simple diffusion,
(B) facilitated diffusion by channel proteins,
and (C) facilitated diffusion by carrier proteins.

What are carrier proteins?
Carrier proteins are proteins embedded in
the plasma membrane involved in the
movement of ions, small molecules, and
macromolecules into and out of cells. Carrier
proteins are also known as transport
proteins.

Humans obtain their oxygen by diffusion
But not through the skin
Although the skin is well supplied with blood
vessels, there are too many layers of cells for
diffusion to be fast enough
Humans have lungs and it is in these lungs
that diffusion occurs

In mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibia,
oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged by
diffusion in the lungs
In fish, this exchange of gases takes place by
diffusion through the gills
The oxygen dissolved in the water diffuses into
the blood vessels in the gills.

Plants have no special organs for breathing
They have to rely on diffusion for their supplies
of oxygen and carbon dioxide
There are pores in the leaves and stems through
which the gases diffuse
In daylight, CO2 (for photosynthesis) will be
diffusing in and O2 will be diffusing out
In darkness, O2 will diffuse in and CO2 will diffuse
out as a result of respiration

Active Transport
• Cells can move substances from areas of lower concentration to areas of higher concentration
• This is moving against the concentration
gradient • This will require extra help from carrier
proteins • Energy is needed!
![Page 46: Section 8.1 Cellular Transport - sedelco.org Transportation Passive transport is the transportation of ... moving against the gradient. ... Active Transport • Cells can move substances](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022512/5ae8fc6e7f8b9aee0790386b/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
How active transport occurs
• A particle binds with a carrier protein – usually pretty specific (like a lock and key)
• When the correct ones fit, chemical energy allows the cell to change the shape of the carrier protein like opening a door.
• Once the particle is on the other side, the carrier protein goes back to its normal shape.
![Page 47: Section 8.1 Cellular Transport - sedelco.org Transportation Passive transport is the transportation of ... moving against the gradient. ... Active Transport • Cells can move substances](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022512/5ae8fc6e7f8b9aee0790386b/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Carrier proteins are used in active transport to pick up ions or molecules from near the cell membrane, carry them across the membrane, and release them on the other side.
Why does active transport require energy?
Molecules tend to move from higher to lower concentration. Active transport reverses the trend requiring energy input.

Transport of large particles
• Endocytosis = cells surrounds and takes in materials from its environment.
Endocytosis A process in which a cell engulfs extracellular material through an inward folding of its plasma membrane. • Some single cell organisms like amoebas eat
this way. • This does require energy.

Transport of large particles
• Exocytosis- A process in which a cell releases substances to the extracellular environment by fusing a vesicular membrane with the plasma membrane, separating the membrane at the point of fusion and allowing the substance to be released.
• The expulsion of waste materials from the cell.
