3- movement in and out of cells Flashcards
diffusion
The net movement of particles from higher to lower
concentration area down a concentration gradient.
source of energy for diffusion
kinetic energy of random movement of molecules and ions
examples of diffusion in plants
-carbon dioxide gas from the air into the leaf during
photosynthesis.
- oxygen released from the leaf through the stomata.
- water vapor out of the leaf as transpiration.
examples if diffusion in animals
- oxygen from lungs to blood.
- carbon dioxide from cells to blood.
- Products of digestion are absorbed from ileum of mammal
factors affecting diffusion
temperature, concentration difference, diffusion distance, surface area
osmosis
Diffusion of water molecules from high water potential
to low water potential area through partially permeable
membrane down concentration gradient
example pf osmosis
movement of water in and out of cells
isotonic conditions
water potentials are equal, no net movement
hypotonic conditions
water potential outside cell is higher, so water enters the cell and it bursts or swells
hypertonic conditions
water potentail inside cell is higher so water leaves the cell causing it to shrink and become flaccid
active transport
Diffusion of water molecules from high water potential
to low water potential area through partially permeable
membrane.
examples of active transport
- root hair cells take in nutrients & minerals from soil.
- glucose is actively transported from the lumen of the
intestine into the villi cells. - glucose is actively transported from kidney tubules into the blood.
