Activating Prior Knowledge
• What is an egg?
• A chicken egg to be
more precise…
• Egg Osmosis
• Soak a chicken egg in
vinegar to
– Remove the cell, and
– Denature the outer protein
• Then you have a big cell
to experiment with!
• View and Interpret
Egg Osmosis Video

After this lesson,
you should be able to
• explain the impact of water on life processes (i.e.,
osmosis, diffusion, SB1d).
• explain the role of the cell membrane, in maintaining
homeostasis (transporting materials in/out of cell).
• Use vocabulary:
– hypertonic, hypotonic, isotonic
– Passive Transport: diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion
– Active Transport: sodium/potassium pump and
endo/exocytosis

Solution Review • Solvent – the larger
material {liquid} that dissolves the solute
• Water is considered the “universal” solvent
• Solute – smaller substance that is dissolved by the solvent. Ex. tea & sugar
• Solution – Complete
mixture of solute and solvent
• Ex. Sweet tea

Quick Check! I mixed Kool-Aid powder in
water. Describe the mixture
using the terms:
solute, solvent, and solution.

Words to know:
Hypertonic
More solute
Hyper means higher
{more concentrated}
Hypotonic
Less solute
Hypo means lower
less concentrated
Isotonic
Solution has
achieved
equilibrium
Equilibrium
achieving
balance or equal
Page 7
Diffusion Demonstration • Equal volume of cold and
warm water, each in
separate clear cups
• What will happen if we
drop equal amounts of
food coloring in each?
• Let’s try it and observe.
• youtube
• Explain what you see.
• Lead discussion to develop
diffusion definition including
– Movement of a substance
– Random molecular motion
– Kinetic energy
– Concentration gradient
– equilibrium
Page 8
Diffusion • Movement of substances
from high concentration to
low concentration
• Movement “down a
concentration gradient”
• Due in part to random,
rapid motion of molecules.
• Net Movement
• Equilibrium State
• Simple Diffusion.
• Roles in the Body
• Factors that Affect Rate:
– permeability of membrane
– Size of gradient
– temperature
Page 10
Passive Transport
• Movement of
materials in & out of
the cell without {NO}
Energy
High Low
Hypertonic hypotonic
Hypertonic
Hypotonic
Page 11
Diffusion • Passive
• O2, CO2, H2O across
cell membrane
• Smells spreading
• Movement of any
molecules from a high
concentration to a low
concentration.
Page 13
Osmosis Diffusion of water
across a semi-
permeable
membrane
Page 14
Osmosis • Diffusion of water through
a selectively permeable membrane.
• Movement of water
– from “less salty” to “more salty” side of membrane
– from low solute concentration to high solute concentration.
– from high water concentration to low water concentration.
• Hypertonic
• Hypotonic
• Isotonic
• In everyday life:
– Preservation of food
– Eating of salty or sugary
foods
– Salt on a slug
– contractile vacuoles
– turgur pressure in plants

Solution Concentrations • Isotonic Solution
– When a cell is in a solution that has the same
concentration of water and solutes
• Hypotonic Solution
– A cell is in a solution that has a lower concentration of
solute
• Hypertonic Solution
– A cell is in a solution that has a higher concentration
of solute outside of the cell
Page 21
Quick Check
Knowing what we know about osmosis,
what would happen to the water in a cell
in:
1. an isotonic solution?
2. a hypotonic solution?
3. a hypertonic solution?
Page 22
Osmosis • Passive
• Hyper to Hypo
• Diffusion of water
molecules across a
membrane.
• Net movement of
water toward high
solute (hypertonic)
side of membrane

Facilitated Diffusion • Passive
• Diffusion that uses
channel proteins
• Hyper to Hypo
• Large molecules like
glucose
Page 25
Facilitated Diffusion
• Movement from high concentration to low concentration through carrier proteins.
• Used to move ionic or large substances into or out of cells
• Passive process
• Carrier proteins are
specific (will only
move one substance)
• Important for moving
sugars and amino
acids into cells

Quick Check! What is the main
difference between active
and passive transport?
Page 28
Ion or Solute pump
• Active
• Protein channel
• hypotonic to
hypertonic
• Ex. Na+ K + pump
• To “pump” means it
uses energy (ATP)
Page 29
Active Transport
• Movement of substances against a concentration gradient.
– From low concentration to high concentration.
• requires energy
• pumping a substance
• ATP must be hydrolyzed to fuel this process
• Sodium-Potassium Pump
• Pumps sodium out of cells
and potassium into cells.
• Important for the
functioning of nerves and
muscles.
• Pump is a membrane
protein and an enzyme--
ATPase.
Page 31
Sodium-Potassium Pump
(this allows for nerve function!)
3 Na+ pumped in for every 2 K+ pumped out; creates a membrane potential
Page 32
Moving the “Big Stuff”
Molecules are moved out of the cell by vesicles that fuse with the plasma membrane.
Exocytosis
- moving things out.
This is how many hormones are secreted and how nerve cells communicate with one another.
Page 33
Pinocytosis
• Cell forms an invagination
• Materials dissolve in water to be brought into cell
• Called “Cell Drinking”
Page 34
Endocytosis – Phagocytosis
Used to engulf large particles such as food, bacteria, etc. into vesicles
Called “Cell Eating”
