Plasma membrane Gate: Gatekeeper

Transported
Molecules and the membrane --- bilater of membrane Barrier to movement --- molecules Barrier to movement --- molecules --- molecules pass through the membrane Water,oxygen and carbon dioxide

Passive and Active Transport
– transport is when substances are moving with the force of diffusion into or out of the cell.
Happens automatically, requiring no extra energy. Movement from – concentration to —
– transport is when substances are moving against the force of diffusion into or out of a cell.
— added energy
Movement from– concentration to —
— a concentration gradient.
Passive transport Hight to Low Active transport Requires Low to High Produces
Passive Transport
— molecules and – molecules diffuse through membranes
The plasma membrane is — permeable to these molecules
Larger molecules and ions charges atoms and moleculesenter cell through – carriers because they can not pass through the plasma membrane on their own.
— proteins and passive carriers

Active Transport
Active carriers are transport proteins that use — from ATP nucleotide energy carrier
Energy changes the — of the carrier, allowing molecules to pass from one side of the – to the other

Gradient
Special Types of diffusion
In a liquid solution, the solute will move to – the concentration gradient.
The – will also move to equalize the concentration gradient.
If there is a high concentration of solute, that means that there is a – concentration of solvent. The opposite is alwats true
Equalize
Solvent
Low
Selective Permeable
The plasma membrane is selectively permeable, allowing water to pass through, but not ellectrically charged – or large molecules.
In those times, where there are different — concentration on either sideof the plasma membrane, the – will still move to equalize the concentration gradient even if the solute is not able to pass through the membrane.

Osmosis
Osmosis is a specific form of – when the solvent is the molecules which is moving across the membrane
In cells the solvent is always –
The water is moving in oder to – the concentration on both side of the membrabe

Equalize
Osmosis
A — solution has a higher concentration of solute.
A – solution has a lower concentration of solute
An – solution has equal concentration of solution.
These categories are only relevant when comparing two different solution.
