  1. Diffusion
    The movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
  2. Image Upload 2 What is happening here?
    Diffusion
  3. What Factors Effect Diffusion?
    • Temperature
    • Size (smaller particles diffuse faster)
    • Shape (a round particle will move faster than a globular one)
    • Environment in which occurring (solid, liquid, gas)
    • Concentration gradient (the steeper, the faster)
  4. What is Osmosis?
    The movement of water from an area of high concentration to low.
  5. What is a Concentration Gradient?
    the rate at which it diffuses with the area. Ex: perfume in the room. Will reach the back last.
  6. Describe a Solution, solute, and solvent and give an example of each,
    • Solution-made up of a solute and solvent. (coke)
    • Solute- the thing which is being dissolved. (salt)
    • Solvent- the thing which isdoing the dissolving (water)
  7. Describe Passive Diffusion and give an example
    • cell doesn’t have to expend (use) energy to make it happen. Substances move directly through membrane from area of high to low concentration. No protein Carrier.
    • Ex: Gases, water, lipid soluble molecules
  8. Image Upload 4What is being shown in this picture?
    Passive Diffusion
  9. Describe Fassiliated Diffusion and give examples
    • uses passive transport (bc the particles are moving in the same direction) to move particles through the cell membrane with the help of transport proteins. (channel and carrier protein)
    • Moves from High to low concentration.
    • Ex: sugars and amino acids
  10. Describe Active Transport and give examples
    • Moving from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration. (move from areas of less concentration to areas with more concentration
    • Energy needed
    • Protein carryer needed
    • EX: some sugars and amino acids
  11. Image Upload 6what is taking place in this picture?
    Active Transport
  12. Label the following diagram with the terms: Passive Transport, Active Transport, and Faciliated Diffusion.Image Upload 8

  13. What is Endocytosis?
    Transportation into the cell
  14. What is Exocytosis?
    Transportation to the outside of the cell
  15. What process does this show? (pic of endo or exocytosis)
