Title: The Cell in its Environment
1The Cell in its Environment
2The Cell in its Environment
- Draw a lipid bi-layer (selectively permeable
membrane)
Lipids
Transport Proteins
3The Cell in its Environment
- 1. Selective Permeability This means that some
substances are allowed into a cell and others are
not. Permeable means to pass through.
4The Cell in its Environment
- 2. Two ways substances move in and out of cells
Passive and Active Transport
5The Cell in its Environment
- 3. Passive Transport Movement of material
through a cell membrane where energy is not
required - a. Diffusion the movement of molecules from
an area of higher concentration to an area of
lower concentration. Example pond water
organisms survive because oxygen in the pond
water is at higher levels than inside the organism
6The Cell in its Environment
DIFFUSION
7The Cell in its Environment
- b. Osmosis the passing of water molecules in
and out of the cell by diffusion
8The Cell in its Environment
- 4. Isotonic Solution the concentration of water
outside and inside the cell is equal
9The Cell in its Environment
- 5. Hypotonic Solution the concentration of
water outside the cell is greater than the
concentration of water inside the cell therefore
water will flow into the cell, causing it to swell
10The Cell in its Environment
- 6. Hypertonic Solution the concentration of
water outside the cell is lower than the
concentration of water inside the cell therefore
water will flow out of the cell, causing it to
shrink
11The Cell in its Environment
- 7. Active Transport the movement of material
through a cell membrane where energy is required
12The Cell in its Environment
- a) Engulfing the cell membrane pinches in to
form a vacuole inside the cell
13The Cell in its Environment
- b) Transport Proteins transport proteins in the
cell membrane can pick up molecules outside the
cell and carry them into the cell
