Cell Transport
Semipermeable membrane – small, lipid-soluble particles can pass, but large, charged particles cannot
Diffusion – net movement of particles from high to low concentration
Concentration gradient – the difference in concentration between one area and another
Cell Membrane
Diffusion
Osmosis
Diffusion of water through aquaporins Moves from high water potential to
low water potential. Hypertonic solution – higher solute
concentration Hypotonic solution – lower solute
conc. Isotonic soln. – solute conc. Equal on
both sides and equilibrium.
Osmosis
Facilitated Diffusion
Passive transport – no Energy required
Moves down concentration gradient Moves through a carrier or channel
protein Ex. Glucose Lipid-insoluble substances
Facilitated Diffusion
Active Transport
Not passive Goes up or against the concentration
gradient (needs energy) Na+ out/K+ in Involves specific carrier proteins Important in muscle contractions, nerve
impulses – maintains resting potential Ex. Plant roots, ion pumps
