Study the diagram below.

Which arrow shows the direction the solute molecules would move to achieve homeostasis?

If the membrane shown is permeable to molecules of X, but impermeable to molecules of Y, what will be the result of diffusion over time?
A.

Molecules of X on each side of the membrane will become equal in concentration. Molecules of Y on each side of the membrane will become equal in concentration. Molecules of X will increase in concentration on the right side. Molecules of Y will increase in concentration on the right side.

Today you will learn

Explain Passive Transport 2. Explain Osmosis 3. Identify the 3 types of solution in osmosis.

Types of Cellular Transport

Passive Transport cell doesnt use energy

1. Diffusion 2. Facilitated Diffusion 3. Osmosis
high

Weeee!! !

low

Active Transport cell does use energy

This is gonna be hard work!!

low

3 Types of Passive Transport

Diffusion 2. Facilitative Diffusion diffusion with the help of transport proteins 3. Osmosis
1.

Passive Transport: 1. Osmosis

1.Osmosis:

diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane Water moves from high to low concentrations
Water moves freely through pores. Solute (green) to large to move across.

Effects of Osmosis on Life

Osmosis-

diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane There are 3 types of solutions
Isotonic

Hypertonic
Hypotonic

Isotonic Solution
Solutions that contain the same concentration of solutes as the cytoplasm are called isotonic (or normal saline) solutions. There is no net movement of water either into or out of the cell. Cells maintain their normal shape.

Isotonic Solution

Osmosis Animations for isotonic, hypertonic, and hypotonic solutions

Isotonic: The concentration of solutes in the solution is equal to the concentration of solutes inside the cell.

Result: Water moves equally in both directions and the cell remains same size! (Dynamic Equilibrium)

Hypertonic Solution
A hypertonic solution is a solution that contains more (hyper) solutes than the cytoplasm of the cell. Has less water than the cell and water moves out of the cell. The cells shrink.

Hypertonic Solution

Osmosis Animations for isotonic, hypertonic, and hypotonic solutions

Hypertonic: The solution has a higher concentration of solutes and a lower concentration of water than inside the cell. (High solute; Low water)

shrinks
Result: Water moves from inside the cell into the solution: Cell shrinks (Plasmolysis)!

Hypotonic Solution
A hypotonic solution contains less solute (thus, more water) than the cytoplasm of the cells. The water will move into the cells resulting in the swelling and lysis of the cells.

Hypotonic Solution

Osmosis Animations for isotonic, hypertonic, and hypotonic solutions

Hypotonic: The solution has a lower concentration of solutes and a higher concentration of water than inside the cell. (Low solute; High water)

Result: Water moves from the solution to inside the cell): Cell Swells and bursts open (cytolysis)!
