Cell structure
and processes
- Transport across cells
- Passive processes (do
not require energy)
- Diffusion
- Net movement of molecules
of a substance from a region
of high concentration to a
region of low concentration
until equilibrium is achieved
(only for liquids/gas)
- Concentration gradient -->
difference in concentration
- Moving down/along the
concentration gradient
--> high con. to low con.
- Moving against the
concentration gradient is not
in the lower sec. syllabus
- Example: A hidden durian is brought
into the classroom (the durian smell
would diffuse until the whole
classroom smells evenly of durian)
- Concentration gradient -->
difference in concentration
- Net movement of molecules
of a substance from a region
of high concentration to a
region of low concentration
until equilibrium is achieved
(only for liquids/gas)
- Osmosis
- Net movement of water molecules in
a liquid body from a region of higher
water potential through a partially
permeable membrane to a region of
lower water potential until equilibrium
is achieved
- Water potential --> % of
water a substance contains
- Hypotonic to ___ --> solution has a higher water potential
- Isotonic to ___ --> solution has an equal water potential
- Hypertonic to ___ --> solution has a lower water potential
- Symbol for <water potential> --> Ψ
- Hypotonic to ___ --> solution has a higher water potential
- Water potential --> % of
water a substance contains
- Net movement of water molecules in
a liquid body from a region of higher
water potential through a partially
permeable membrane to a region of
lower water potential until equilibrium
is achieved
