Only a small, lipid-soluble molecules, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, can pass through the membrane easily. It only allows certain molecules and ions to enter and exit the cytoplasm freely.…
Cell Transport Mechanisms and Permeability 1 EXERCISE 1 OBJECTIVES 1. To define the following terms: differential permeability, passive and active processes of transport, diffusion (simple diffusion, facilitated dif- fusion, and osmosis), solute pump, pinocytosis, and phagocytosis. 2. To describe the processes that account for the movement of sub- stances across the plasma membrane, and to indicate the driving force for each. 3.…
out from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration—think of food coloring diffusing in a glass of water. Because the substance is moving from the side of the membrane with a higher concentration to the side with a lower concentration, no energy is required to move substances across the membrane. Take oxygen, for example. The concentration of oxygen molecules, which are small and uncharged, is often higher outside the cell and lower inside. This concentration difference, or gradient, allows oxygen to diffuse easily into the cell—a good thing, because the cell needs oxygen in order to survive.…
Figure 1 clearly shows the different molecules that can and cannot transport easily across the plasma membrane. All lipid soluble membranes (hydrophobic molecules and small uncharged molecules) can pass easily through the membrane in both directions. The movement of these molecules is dependent only on their concentrations inside and outside the cell, and these molecules are transported due to the effects of concentration gradients…

In this lab we will look at how molecules move across the membrane of a cell . Osmosis is the movement of water across a cell membrane.In osmosis the cell membrane is selectively permeable,which allows for the membrane to control what types of substances that passes through.Transportation can either be passive or active.Passive transport does not require the use of added energy where as active transport requires the cell to use energy.…
What kind of transport requires energy? ACTIVE Which CELL PART provides the energy for active transport? MITOCHONDRIA Which MOLECULE is produced by mitochondria and provides energy for transport? ATP Movement of molecules FROM a region of HIGH concentration TO a region of LOW concentration = DIFFUSION The movement of molecules FROM a region of HIGH concentration TO a region of LOW concentration with the HELP of carrier proteins or channels = FACILITATED DIFFUSION…
The process of active transportation is when a molecule work together with the active side of a protein section, which this triggers an energy enzyme reaction that produces a shift in the section so that it can squeezes the molecule through the membrane. When this process happens usually more than one molecule can be transported at a time and the molecule been transported is usually replaces with one in it 's place.…
Diffusion is the movement of molecules or ions down a concentration gradient i.e. from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. For a diffusion system to be efficient, it should have a large surface area so that high amount of substances can be exchanged at a time. It should also have a thin membrane and a continuous supply of substances, as a thin membrane means that the diffusion pathway would be short, and the continuous supply helps maintain a concentration gradient, which is essential for diffusion to take place. There are two main types of diffusion; simple and facilitated. Simple diffusion is when a small, non-polar molecule such as CO2 and Oxygen passes through the phospholipid bilayer. A carrier protein is not needed for this type of diffusion to take place. Facilitated diffusion, however, requires carrier proteins transport molecules across the membrane, as the molecules are polar or are too large to pass through the lipid bilayer. Examples of these molecules are sodium and potassium ions, and glucose.…
