Diffusion is when molecules move into available space. It’s the spread of something more widely. Substances diffuse in high concentrated area to a low concentrated area. Water is one molecule that can diffuse freely in a cell. Other molecules need assistance through the cell membrane through a process called facilitated diffusion. Osmosis moves from an area of low concentration to high concentration. In osmosis water moves in the opposite way. Water flow is determined by the concentration‚ not

In turn‚ they form products; some useful and some not. Most of these substances must pass in and

3.1 BIOLOGICAL MEMBRANES 3.1.1 Properties of Cell Membranes • Separates living cell from its nonliving surroundings. • 8 nm thick. • Selectively permeable - allows some substances to cross more easily than others. 4.1.2 Fluid Mosaic Model • Singer and Nicolson (1972) - plasma membrane is a mosaic of proteins dispersed within lipid bilayer‚ with only bilayer‚ the hydrophilic regions exposed to water. Hydrophilic region of protein Phospholipid bilayer Hydrophobic region of protein

Kate Rowe Biology 4 10-8-09 Biology Essay: Parts of a Cell Describe the fluid-mosaic model of a plasma membrane. Discuss the role of the membrane in the movement of materials through each of the following processes: a.) Active Transport b.) Passive Transport All living cells contain a plasma membrane‚ which acts a boundary for the cell. The plasma membrane regulates the cell’s chemical composition because it uses selective permeability to allow certain substances to enter or exit the cell

are not all suitable for human tissues and therefore these have to be broken down and reassembled so that our bodies can use them. Secondly‚ the food molecules have to be small enough to be absorbed by the villi in the intestine through diffusion‚ facilitated diffusion or active transport and so large food molecules need to be broken down into smaller ones for absorption to occur. Summary: 1. Food needs to be broken down and reassembled. 2. Large food molecules need to be broken down into smaller

1. water molecules have +0 charged ends and can form weak hydrogen bonds . water is said to be a dipolar molecule. 2. The basic uits of CO2 are monosaccharides ‚ characterized by the number of carbon atoms‚ e.g pentose sugars have 5 carbons 3. Two monossaccharids can link together to form a disaccharide . the bond between them is a glycosidic linkage formed in a condensation reaction 4. Starch is a polysaccharide composed of amylose and amylopectin. Its main function is as a storage
