A

they move randomly

70
Q

In areas of high concentration, where there are a lot of molecules, what do the molecules do?

A

The molecules bump into each other more frequently, bumping them into less crowded areas. Which causes the substance to spread out until all the molecules have evenly spread out over the space available

71
Q

What are the molecules always doing?

A

Moving

72
Q

Diffusion is said to cause molecules to spontaneously do what?

A

Move down their concentration gradient

74
Q

A

75
Q

During diffusion, once there is no more concentration gradient there is no more?

A

a barrier or membrane between two volumes of water.

86
Q

All cells membranes (plasma membrane, mitochondrial membrane, nuclear envelope, etc) are _____?

A

selectively permeable

87
Q

What is a selectively permeable membrane?

A

A membrane across which some molecules can across, but others cannot.

88
Q

_____ is one of the molecules that can always freely cross all cell membranes, of every cell type and every organelles type, so osmosis is always a consideration with cells

A

Water

89
Q

Osmosis/diffusion of water occurs _____ down the concentration gradient of water.

A

Spontaneously

90
Q

In which direction does osmosis ALWAYS occur?

A

Down the water concentration gradient.

91
Q

______ will have the highest concentration of water – the water molecules will fill all the available space

A

Pure water

92
Q

If there are any _____ in the water, they will take up space, so fewer water molecules will be present, and the water concentration will be lower than pure water

A

dissolved substances

93
Q

Any time you have different concentrations of a dissolved material across a cell membrane: (2)

A
  1. The side with the higher concentration of dissolved material will have the dissolved material diffuse out of that side if it can.
  2. The side with the higher concentration of dissolved material will have water diffuse into that side if it can
94
Q

Cell membranes are selectively permeable, so there will be situations where there is a solute at different concentrations across a membrane that is?

A
  • not allowed across the membrane – only water will be able to diffuse across.
  • This can cause the side with the higher solute concentration/lower water concentration to increase in volume! (And the other side to decrease.)
  • The movement of water that changes the volumes of both sides of the membrane can be prevented if a force is applied to the growing side.
  • This will force the water molecules back through the membrane, against their concentration gradient.
  • Note, forcing water back through the membrane is not spontaneous. It required a force.
95
Q

What is osmotic pressure/osmotic potential?

A

The force of a concentration gradient of water that equals the force (hydrostatic pressure) needed to block osmosis across a selectively permeable membrane.

96
Q

What is the concept of using pressure to force water to move against its concentration gradient, enough to undo whatever diffusion of water would otherwise have happened spontaneously?

A

Osmotic pressure or osmotic potential

97
Q

The _____ the osmotic pressure/potential of a solution, the more likely water will diffuse into that solution

A

Greater

98
Q

Another term for osmotic pressure/osmotic potential?

A

Tonicity

99
Q

The greater the osmotic pressure the _____ the tonicity?

A

higher

100
Q

We just use ____ as a comparison for comparing a solution on one side of a membrane to the solution on the other side of the membrane.

A

Tonicity

101
Q

Usually, we use tonicity to compare?

A

compare the solution outside of a cell to the cytoplasm inside a cell.

102
Q

What is the relationship between osmotic pressure and tonicity?

A

The higher the osmotic pressure, the higher the tonicity

103
Q

What is a isotonic solution?

A

A solution that does not cause osmotic flow of water across the membrane. (same)

104
Q

When the solution outside the cell is isotonic: (3)

A
  • Solutes in the solution outside the cell are at equal concentration as solutes in cytoplasm inside cell (so there are equal water concentrations both inside and outside cell).
  • The solution around the cell causes water to neither enter nor leave the cell.
  • As a result, the cell neither shrinks nor expands in an isotonic solution.
105
Q

What is a hypotonic solution?

A

A solution outside of a cell or container that causes osmotic flow of water across a membrane out of the hypotonic solution (into the cell/container).

106
Q

When the solution outside the cell is hypotonic: (3)

A
  • The solution outside the cell has less solutes (more water) than the cytoplasm inside cell.
  • The solution outside the cell causes water to enter the cell.
  • As a result, the cell expands in a hypotonic solution.
107
Q

What is a hypertonic solution?

A

A solution outside of a cell or container that causes osmotic flow of water across a membrane into the hypertonic solution (out of the cell/container).

108
Q

When the solution outside the cell is hypertonic:

A
  • The solution outside the cell has more solutes (less water) than cytoplasm inside cell.
  • Solution outside the cell causes water to leave the cell.
  • As a result, the cell contracts in a hypertonic solution.
109
Q

To maintain homeostasis, a cell needs to: (2)

A
  • Allow certain compounds in and other compounds out.

- And the cell needs to regulate when these molecular movements in and out occur.

  • Transport is always passive, which means the molecules always travel down the molecule’s concentration gradient.
113
Q

What happens in passive transport?

A

Molecules always move down the concentration gradient

114
Q

Gated Channels: (4)

A
  • Membrane proteins that provide little more than a tunnel through which molecules can diffuse, but the tunnel has a barrier or gate that can be opened or closed.
  • The cell can regulate when the barrier or gate is open or shut .
  • When barrier/gate is open, transport is always passive, down the molecule’s concentration gradient.
  • When barrier/gate is closed, nothing is transported through it.
115
Q

Pumps: (2)

A
  • Membrane proteins that use up energy in the form of ATP (the energy currency of the cell) to move a molecule in the direction it would not diffuse spontaneously
  • Transport by pumps is always active, up the molecule’s concentration gradient

What happens in active transport?

A

Any movement of molecules across a cell membrane that is only ever against (up) a concentration gradient

117
Q
