Cell Transport Powerpoint

Cellular Transport
S7L2. Students will describe the structure

and function of cells, tissues, organs, and
organ systems.
A. Explain that cells take in nutrients in order to
grow and divide and to make needed materials.
B. Relate cell structures (cell membrane, nucleus,
cytoplasm, chloroplasts, mitochondria) to basic
cell functions.
C. Explain that cells are organized into tissues,
tissues into organs, organs into systems, and
systems into organisms.
D. Explain that tissues, organs, and organ systems
serve the needs cells have for oxygen, food, and
waste removal.
Terms to Know
Concentration – the amount of solute in a solution.
Solute – the dissolved substance in a solution.
Solution – a mixture in which two or more

substances are mixed evenly.
Concentration gradient - the gradual difference in

the concentration of solutes in a solution between
two regions.
Cell Membrane (Transport) Notes
Cell Membrane and Cell Wall:
• ALL cells have a cell membrane made of proteins and lipids
protein channel
Layer 1
Cell
Membrane Layer 2
lipid bilayer protein pump
• SOME cells have cell membranes and cell walls – ex: plants, fungi
and bacteria
Cell
Membrane
Cell Wall
• Plant cells have a cell wall
made of cellulose – that
cellulose is fiber in our diet
• Bacteria and fungi also

have cell walls, but they
do not contain cellulose
• Cell membranes and cell

walls are porous allowing
water, carbon dioxide,
oxygen and nutrients to
pass through easily
Function of the Cell Membrane:
• Cell membrane separates the components of a cell
from its environment—surrounds the cell
• “Gatekeeper” of the cell—regulates the flow of
materials into and out of cell—selectively permeable
• Cell membrane helps cells maintain homeostasis—
stable internal balance

Types of Cellular Transport Transport & Passive
Transport
Weeee!!!
• Passive Transport
cell doesn’t use energy
1. Diffusion
high
2. Facilitated Diffusion
3. Osmosis
low
• Active Transport
cell does use energy This is
gonna be
1. Protein Pumps hard
2. Endocytosis high
work!!
3. Exocytosis
low
• Diffusion is the movement of small particles across a
selectively permeable membrane like the cell membrane
until equilibrium is reached.
These particles move from an area of high concentration

to an area of low concentration.

inside of cell
DIFFUSION
HIGH to LOW concentration

• Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a selectively
permeable membrane like the cell membrane
Water diffuses across a membrane from an area of high

concentration to an area of low concentration.
Semi-permeable
membrane is
permeable to water,
but not to sugar
• Facilitated Diffusion is the movement of larger
molecules like glucose through the cell membrane –
larger molecules must be “helped”
Proteins in the cell membrane form channels for large
molecules to pass through
Proteins that form channels (pores) are called protein
channels

Hypertonic Solutions: contain a high concentration of solute
relative to another solution (e.g. the cell's cytoplasm). When
a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, the water diffuses
out of the cell, causing the cell to shrivel.
Hypotonic Solutions: contain a low concentration of solute

relative to another solution (e.g. the cell's cytoplasm). When
a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, the water diffuses
into the cell, causing the cell to swell and possibly explode.
Isotonic Solutions: contain the same concentration of solute

as another solution (e.g. the cell's cytoplasm). When a cell is
placed in an isotonic solution, the water diffuses into and
out of the cell at the same rate. The fluid that surrounds the
body cells is isotonic.

Active Transport
Active transport is the movement of molecules from LOW to HIGH
concentration.
Energy is required as molecules must be pumped against the
concentration gradient.
Proteins that work as pumps are called protein pumps.
Ex: Body cells must pump carbon dioxide out into the surrounding
blood vessels to be carried to the lungs for exhale. Blood vessels are
high in carbon dioxide compared to the cells, so energy is required
to move the carbon dioxide across the cell membrane from LOW to
HIGH concentration.

Osmosis
Facilitated Diffusion
• Endocytosis and Exocytosis is the mechanism by which
very large molecules (such as food and wastes) get into
and out of the cell
Food is moved into the

cell by Endocytosis
Wastes are moved out

of the cell by
Exocytosis
Ex: White Blood Cells, which are part of the immune
system, surround and engulf bacteria by endocytosis.

• EX: Hormones or wastes

Osmosis—Elodea Leaf
Effects of Osmosis on Life
• Osmosis- diffusion of water through a selectively
permeable membrane
• Water is so small and there is so much of it the
cell can’t control it’s movement through the cell
membrane.
• Osmosis Animations
for isotonic,
Hypotonic Solution 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)!
for isotonic,
Hypertonic Solution 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)!
for isotonic,
Isotonic Solution 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)
What type of solution are these cells in?

How Organisms Deal with • Paramecium (protist
) removing excess w
ater video
Osmotic Pressure
•Bacteria and plants have cell walls that prevent them from
over-expanding. In plants the pressure exerted on the cell wall
is called tugor pressure.
•A protist like paramecium has contractile vacuoles that
collect water flowing in and pump it out to prevent them from
over-expanding.
•Salt water fish pump salt out of their specialized gills so they
do not dehydrate.
•Animal cells are bathed in blood. Kidneys keep the blood
isotonic by remove excess salt and water.
